Well, I'm another year older today, I still remember our last dinner together like it was yesterday(for my birthday). Give my momma a huge hug for me today, I know you are always with me, I feel it everyday. I came across a quote the other day and it is so true... "Grief is like the ocean; it comes in waves, ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim."-Vicki Harrison This is so...

Hey buddie! Almost another year older for me which means another year without you... My birthday has been bitter sweet each year since you left. I want to celebrate it because hello its when your awesome aunt came about but it's also hard knowing what the next day is. As you know Katy lost her dad recently make sure you all give him a warm welcome, he's going to need it. He likes to play poker so he will teach you some tricks. Don't worry I will take care of your favorite girlfriend. I...

Well it's almost that time of year again. There are times when I think... "its okay it is just another day....but then other days not so much"

I know you and Mama and Care care are doing so much together up there. I am sure cousin Chrissy is in on the cahoots too. Give everyone my love.. I know I don't have to tell you what tomorrow is you were always one of the first ones with mama to wish me a happy birthday. I am sure you know all that is going on so be sure to send your...

Friday I could not get on here. I am not sure why, but this year was a tough one. Every day you are loved and missed, but this year I was just in a place where I had knots all day. I hope you liked your Happy Birthday song. I know that you and Mama are together and that makes it easier, but I just miss you both so much. Most days I am fine but Friday on your birthday and today on hers I'm a mess. Not ashamed to tell you that, I know you don't judge. I love you sweetheart!!! Forever and always...

Happy 27th Birthday sweetie......wow I just cant...

I know you are with Mama so please give her a huge hug and tell her I love her. We all miss you well both of you but we know you have her now and all is okay. I wish I could say this gets easier each year.... on some degree it does just wish I could hug you for your birthday instead of writing you. Well I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday hope you all are having a great party.. You get to do it again in 3 days unless...

I hide my tears when I say your name but the pain in my heart is still the same. Although I smile and seem carefree there is no one who misses you more then ME! There are so many things that are left unknown and has me wondering what if ? There's not a day goes by that I don't think about you love you miss you DAD

Hey baby boy,
As you know I'm sure, MaMa is now up there with you. I know that she went to quickly and peacefully because she seen your beautiful face and was at peace. You waited almost 15 years for some MAMA hugs and now you get them. The thought that she is with you is what gets me through. I miss her so much, just like I miss you. I was helping Papa go threw some things and found Mama's keepsake drawer. Every item in that drawer was something that your little hand had one time touched....
