Remembering YOU

Thinking of you on this day and reminding myself how you were taken way too soon 17 years ago.

Remembering you today Shawn!!!

Dear Trayce,
You have no idea how it blesses me to read your comments about my brother Shawn. To know of your very deep felt feelings for him. I miss him so much. He's gone way too soon. He was so creative, talented and had so much potential. One thing I believe is that he truly loved you. It would be so nice to be able to talk to you by email or however you would like. Reading your posts helps keep his memory alive and helps me to know that he was very important to you. My whole...

I've been thinking about you today and how much I miss you. Remembering silly things like how you were born when I entered my junior year of high school. What a chubby baby you were at 10 lbs! As you grew and started toddling around you're light blonde hair stood straight up on your head. It was too cute! And then there were my trips to the orthodontist when i would take you with me and you would sit quietly on my lap while the dentist worked on my braces. Not every time but sometimes you...

Shawn, I was in the hospital and had back surgery on your birthday. I thought about you so much. As soon as I was able I went out to the cemetery to see your footstone and your business logo that Mama, Jill and I had engraved on there. It looked really nice and tells anyone who sees it that you were a man of action. I miss you so much. I wanted to say Happy Birthday to you on your 43rd, my special baby brother.
Saturday, your construction trailer was pulled away from Mom's yard and she...

The shock is finally lifting and pure grief (agony) is now settling in. Oh the tears that swell up in my eyes.... I feel as if I'm just wandering around with no particular direction... Shawn was my dear friend and a guidepost for me. He was, IS, the man who changed me forever. With my loving Shawn, Jesus showed me how much MORE He loves me and that's way more than I can even begin to imagine with my finite mind.

I'm forever grateful for Shawn, without him stepping into my life...

My precious brother was born when I was 17 years old. I am the oldest child, he was the baby. I use to get out of bed at 3:00 in the morning to rock him because he had colic and he would fall asleep on my chest. We both would sleep until I had to get ready to go to school. I took him to the orthodontist with me. He sat on my lap while the dentist worked on me. I took him every place I went. He even went to school with me for the childcare part of my Home Economics class. He felt sort of like...

I am still in disbelief of what has happened. Shawn and I could go a few months without speaking to each other but we were talking more this time around. I'll miss hearing that voice of his and our late night chats online. My relationship with him was more special and unique than any other I've ever had. My heart, thoughts and prayers goes out to the Bissell family ~ I'll be down to see you all soon. I'll miss you Baby~Boy!!!
Much love always,
your "Baby~Girl" Cori
