Dear Todd,
Happy birthday! I can not believe that I would have had a 41 year old son as of today. That just doesn’t seem possible. I hope that your celebrating your day with all the loved ones you have beside you in heaven since you can’t be here to celebrate with all the loved ones you have here on earth. We all miss you so much! We have so many new additions to the family. New in-laws and new babies! I have to say it has been fun sitting back watching this family of ours continue to grow. Im especially excited and proud to say I’m a gramma to a beautiful baby boy named Rhett. That also means you would have been an uncle. I’m so sad that he will never be able to meet you. I’m sure that you to would have had so much fun together. He’s such a happy go lucky kid and very daring. You both have that in common so I’m sure that the two of you would have done a lot of mischievous things together! I can hear your sister telling you two now don’t you dare! Lol. I get the mom your spoiling him quite often, I just remind her I’m gramma and that’s my job! Haha. We have also had so many changes in this family. Not only marriages and babies but new jobs and relocations as well just to name a few. We’ve finally done some remodeling in the house. We still have a lot to do but I’m really happy with the progress so far. It’s crazy to see and think that after almost 16 years without you here with us, that there is still such a void where you would have been. I think about you everyday. Today is filled with a mix of emotions both happy and sad for me. I wish you were here! I miss you!
I love you today, tomorrow and always!!!

Im so sad Rhett will never get to meet you. I think about it constantly. I talk about you to him and will make sure he knows about his uncle.
Please keep looking down on us. And tell grandma I said hi. Miss her too.
Today, tomorrow, and always.

Dear Todd,
Fourteen years ago today was one of the worst days of my life. By far the hardest decision Ive ever had to make as a parent. I wasnt sure how I was going to do it. How was I going to say the words. How I was going to live with my decision. I was scared for you and me. No mother is suppose to have to say goodbye to her child. Its just not the natural progression of life. Its just not fair. I had dreams for you. I seen you with a beautiful wife and god willing children of your own. As a mother we all want our children to feel loved. Have big dreams for themselves. Grow up to be good, kind loving individuals. I tried the best I knew how to accomplish all of that for you. I hope you knew that. I loved you so much. I hope you felt that. I know you were kind and funny. I hope the world seen that. I want you to know, never did I ever regret for a second having you! I was very young and it changed my life this is true. But I never regretted my decision to keep you. Every year leading up to this day, the anticipation I feel is just so overwhelming. I always wonder how am I going to get through the day? Every year I need to find that strength. Be brave, push through. This year like all the others isnt any different. Here it is another year gone by without you. Our family is growing by leaps and bounds, everything is constantly changing and your missing it all. I go back and think about a lot of things good and bad. Some of it makes me cry, some puts a smile on my face and some just makes me laugh. I always have a lot of shoulda, coulda, woulda in with those thoughts of course. I shoulda told you I loved you more often, I coulda been more understanding, I woulda been a better parent. We really did grow up together. I always thought I was the teacher and you were my student so to say, but the reality is You taught me more than I even realized. You taught me how to love someone with all my heart. You taught me how to put someone else before myself. You taught me that Im stronger than ever thought I could be. You taught me about life lessons and the hard choices that come with them. So I want to say thank you for all you taught me in the short time we had together. Going forward today, Im going to choose to be brave. Im going to choose to be grateful for the time I had you here with me. Im going to choose to remember how proud I am to be your mother. Im going to come to the cemetery and tell you I love you and miss you everyday! Lifes lessons, its all about choices.
Love you today, tomorrow and always,
Mom

Dear Todd,
Happy birthday!! Wow it's been a long time since I've sat down and written to you. Not because I haven't been thinking about you because I do that everyday. I miss you. Terribly. So much has been going on in the family I'm not sure where to start. First our good news. You have a new cousin. Brittani gave birth to oa baby girl today. Yes on your birthday! She is early and very small but doing well so far. We just had a nice surprise at Christmas and uncle Ray surprised us and came home. He and aunt Dawn worked it out. It was great to have him and Max here to spend the holiday together. Wish you could have been here to. Your dad is getting ready to retire from the village. His last day will be April 30th. He's really looking forward to that. Brandon is expecting a baby. I think that's all of the newest on goings with the family. Sorry to anyone or anything I may have left out. We have had some health scares with gramma and pa but mostly gramma this past year. She is doing ok and stable at the moment. She was just released from the hospital again a few days ago. Pa had a mini stroke but has recovered well. So needless to say We are all looking forward to a happier healthier new year. Your sister is doing well. Been in her new house for a little over a year now. Still teaching at the high school and seems very happy there. She has a very nice boyfriend that she is living with. They seem to be happy so dad and I are happy for them. Everyone else in the family seems to be doing well. We are growing so much everyone is getting older, married, having babies etc. crazy how time flies. I can't believe you would have been 36 today. Blows my mind at how much time has past. I still remember the day you were born. Cold and snowy! Seems like yesterday but than also a lifetime ago... I love you today, tomorrow and always!!!

Dear Todd,
I can't believe that it's been ten years today since you left us. It blows mine mind how fast this time has gone by. I think about our family and how far we've come since that day. All the changes we've all been through. Evolving. Growing. It saddens me that your not here to evolve and grow with us. I often think about where you might be in you life right now. Who you'd be. It's sad that you never had the chance to become the man you were suppose to be. But I hope that what I believe is true that you are always here with us. Watching over us. Sending your love. I have a painting in my house that reads.... Because someone we love is in heaven, we have a little bit of heaven in our home. With that, Today we will be thinking of you with love and happiness. We will once again be sending that love to you with our message filled balloons. Most of all today I want you to know how much I love you and miss you! I wish you were here to evolve and continue to grow with us. Xoxo

Dear Todd,
Happy birthday! Holy cow thirty five?! That day was a lot like today actually, snowy, very sunny and very cold. Weird how some things you can remember so clearly. I was so nervous to be a mom. when I held you for the first time it was the most wonderful experience of my my life. I had a son and he was beautiful. The love I felt for you was just so immense. I had heard moms say that before but you don't understand it til it actually happens to you. And I'm so blessed that I was given that gift not once but twice in my life. A mothers love is undying for sure. I was so young and so unexpierenced when you were born. We really grew up together through the good , the bad and the worst of times. I was only given twenty five years with you and that was certainly not enough. Just like with your birth I was so nervous and inexperienced with your death. I now have a feeling of loss I could never explain. Almost ten years later and I still remember the details only this time I'd rather forget them. Life's full circle. I miss you everyday my beautiful son! I love you today, tomorrow and always!!!
Love, Mom

Dear Todd,
I feel like it has been such a long time since I've written. Not to mention written with any family updates. We have had a very busy summer this year. We have also cleebrated some very monumental moments as well. In Feburary dad and I celebrated our twenty fifth wedding anniversary. Kim gave us a beautiful party in our honor. Then in April this year dad turned fifty five! What an old man huh? He now quailifies for the senior discounts and aarp. In June this year we went on the most glorious vacation to Hawaii. Our anniversary gift to each other. We were gone for two weeks. The first week the three of us visited two islands by our selves and the last week aunt Hannah and her family joined us in Maui. You would have loved it! Everything from the trip to Pearl Harbor, zip lining and the snorkeling. You being there with us would have been just perfect. This September Kim turned 25. Shes now a half a century lol. And I'm about to be fifty! Can you believe it?! I decided to just embrace it because I can't do anything about it. lol. So I'm throwing a special party for myself, well with the help of dad and Kim of course. Hopefully it will be one for the books as they say. I'll keep you posted. As far as the rest of the family goes evryone is doing ok. That is with the exception of Jacob, he just broke his foot and is in a cast. The two youngest members Aiden and Max just turned two. Wow time flys.
Kim's friend Ally just had a baby boy named Landon. Hes really cute! And Laurie's daughter Amber is getting Married to a wonderful man next September. Well I think that about covers it for now with all the updates.
So in closing just want to say I'm sorry that your not here to experience all the wonderful things that have happend to us this year. I'd like to believe you are here in spirit, and want you to know you are never far from our thoughts. I miss you....
Remember,
I love you today, tomarrow and always!!!

Dear Todd, it's been a long time.... as Halloween approaches I can just remember going to Great America with you and Josh Martell for Fright Fest.... it was my 1st time going to Great America.... I had so much fun! I wish I would been able to enjoy more good times with you but as you changed schools we lost touch... I just learned of your passing from our old teacher Kathy.... I don't know what happened..... this came as a big schock..... You will be dearly missed!!!!! Always making us laugh..... I'm so sorry we lost touch..... I wish I would have known........

Dear Todd,
Today marks the sixth year of not having you here with us. Always the worst day of the year for me by far. Today I always refleck on both the good and bad times we shared. Some make me laugh and others make me cry. And then I always find myself writing to you with such a heavy heart. I wish I could just get past the why did this happen to me stage. I'm sure this is an unrealistic pressure I put upon myself but no matter how hard I try that feeling never goes away.
Our lives have all gone on. We all continue to move forward the best we know how. Not always the easiest thing to do. A process I am still learning to deal with.
I read a book called One more day. It was as if I was reading about my personal journey. It was describing ones personal struggle with the loss of a loved one. What one would do or say if they had just one more day with them. I often wish I had that for us. I wish I would have said more to you as you layed in that hospital bed. I was just to scared to think about it. Afraid if I thought it or said it out loud to you or anyone that my worst fear would come true. I really regret not telling you more how much I loved you and would miss you when you could actually hear my voice saying to you. I REALLY struggle with that. All the should haves. Its true you should never put off saying how you feel because you never know if you'll get the chance again. what a hard lesson to learn.
Today what I most want to say to you is that I can't change the fact that you are gone and I can never get you back this know. But we will never ever stop wishing you were still physically here with us. You see I feel you are always with me spiritually. Looking at us from up above. That thought makes me happy. Our guardian angel.
I miss you like crazy, and think of you everyday.
I love you today, tomarrow and always

Hi Todd,
Just a little note to say I'm thinking about you today. It's Mothers Day and we are going to brunch and then coming for our weekly visit. But as always this is just a hard day for me. Thank God I have your sister because she is the reason to continue to celebrate this day. I wish it could be different and that you were here to make the day complete. I will try to be positive today and just be happy for the days we did have together.
I miss you....
I love you today, tomarrow and always

Hey Bobbert
I am about ready to come and visit you, so this will be short. I wanted to say that this has been a long hard five years for all.Wish we could turn back the hands of time. unfortunely that can not happen so we have to go on with all the good and the the bad(ha-ha) memories. I love you and miss you lots.
Luv ya

Will write again when I come home from our visit

Dear Todd,
As today marks the fifth year of your passing we have planned a memorial. As we gather today to remember you it will be filled with such bitter sweet memories. This day always brings us back to those final days you were here with us. The worst 5 days of our lives.
But I know today that we will remember all the special things you shared with us. Your great sense of humor. Your laughter. Those Jim Carey impressions you loved to do. And who could forget how much you loved music. The louder the better as I recall! And the way you could dance. You made it look so easy. Like mother like son! (ha ha iI wish)
There is still such a void at the holidays and family functions. It just never seems to get any easier. I find myself watching everyone thinking about all the what ifs. Sometimes so much that I have a hard time enjoying whats going on around me. I still feel like i'm in a fog. Like if I could just wake up. Maybe it was all just a bad dream.
Now all I have left are the memories we’ve shared. I realized that when someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure. All of which I now keep close to my heart. When ever I am having a bad day or it seems to much to bare I look into my treasure chest. My comfort zone.
It has been said that time heals. For those closest to you we have learned time does not heal but healing does take time. My head tells me this but of course my heart feels differently. I know I will never be whole again and I have to go on. I just wish I could figure out a way to do it without such guilt. Or such pain.
I MISS YOU!!!
I love you today, tomorrow and always.
Mom

Hi Todd,
Wow it's been a long time since iv"e sat down and wrote to you. But it's not beacause i have not thought about you because i do that everyday. I just have not really had the time. It has been a busy summer. Summer what summer?! It has not been summer weather at all this year for the most part. But boy it sure has gone fast.
Just some updates in the family. We have a new addition. Justin and Jen had a baby boy 2 weeks ago. So Michelle is a proud gramma for the first time. His name is Aiden. I'm not sure if I told you but your cousin Beth has twins boys as well. Eric and Sam are expecting their second baby any time now. And uncle Ray is expecting in early October. We know that Ray is having a boy. We are over run with boys. Can't wait til the girls just showing up. lol.
What else, oh yeah Kim has gotten her first teaching job. Her first day of class is monday. We are very excited for her. I also have some sad news to report. Uncle Bob was just diagnosed with a brain tumor. And a month ago our friend John died from brain cancer. It's been a little rough couple of weeks around here.
I think thats all that i can think of as far as updates.
Just wanted to say hi and let you know that i'm always thinking about you. Wishing that you were here to share all the good and bad happenings with us. Please help keep your sister safe this winter. She has a very long drive on mostly country roads. YUK!!!
Good bye for now.
I love you today, tomarrow and always!!!

Hey Todd, sorry I am late but I was away for the weekend. I can't believe it's was 4 years ago that I was sitting in the family room at the hospital with your mom and the rest of the family hoping and praying.....I miss you and your are missed by so many people. As your mom says you could make anyone smile. And of course your Aunt Dawn with the Ethiopia name, I am sorry but that did make me crack up, she sure likes to call people names. Since the last time I wrote I asked that you and my dad help me get through somethings that I have been going thru, it's been 5 months and so far I am doing much better so thank you for that. Keep on doing your thing up there, we all need watching over.
Love ya

Dear Todd,
I was just reading your guest book. I read it from start to finish today. I was reminded of all the good people saw in you. How much you made everone laugh. That was an over whelming consensious from everyone who knew you. Just how fun you always were. And how much you always laughed. And made all those around you laugh. They do say laughter is the best medicine.
I guess thats why I needed to read your book today. It made me cry but also laugh. I needed to remember laughter was a big part of who you were.
I woke up this morning thinking about your great laugh, that mischevious grin you used to have all the time. You know the one that made people wonder what you had been up to. I know the next time I see that face will be a while, but it will be worth it!!
I was remembering that deep voice that you had. Remembering that when you played in little league they called you froggy. Boy you have had all kinds of nick names huh?
Remember Aunt Dawn used to call you etheopia? How about noodle? Bobert was my favorite and most enduring for you. Given to you when you just a baby. Used often when thinking of you with affection. And the one you loved the most, THADDIUS!!! Where did that come from anyway?
I was remembering our time together. The good and bad. Happy and sad.
I sure miss your Jim Carey impressions. I'm so thankful for all these memories.
I guess today i'm missing you more than I usually do. This is always a rough day and today is no exception.
All I want is to be able to remember to laugh.
It has been four years ago today that you stopped being able to make us laugh. Now we have to dig into our favorite memories of you to make that happen.
Thank you for giving all of us so many to choose from.
I MISS YOU.
I love you today, tomarrow and always!!!!

Hey Todd, it's been so long since I have written to you. I think about you all the time though. I have thought about you even more these last 4 months. I talk to you and my dad and Art to give me strength and help me get through everything. You all are doing a good job because I am doing much better now. I know I can talk to your mom as she has always been there for me but this one has been a little hard on me to talk about. She will be the one I go to when I am ready to get things off my chest but it is hard right now. Thanks for watching out for everyone. Tell my dad I love him and I miss him more then ever right now. Happy birthday, you are older then me now. Happy New Year and I promise to write more. XXXOOO Laurie

Hey Todd...today Scott and I were over in London at the market and we saw a young man walk past us...I said to Scott..."He reminds me of Todd"...he was about your height, build and dressed like you"... I watched him for a while and thought about you...funny thing was when I got home there was an email message saying there were new entries in your book...I always read them and think about you and your Mum and Dad...remembering the good times, the laughter and the fun I poked at you when you were here visiting....I think of you a lot and pray that you have found peace...

Today like every other day , you are on my mind. Today I am remembering the fun side of Todd. The one who loved Halloween. Dressing up, passing out candy with me and especially pretending to be afraid of all the little kids who came to our door. I now treasure these memories. When we were making them they seemed so ordinary. Now I know to never take anything for granted, even the small things life gives you. So thank you for giving me this treasured memory. I hold it dear to my heart. I know that halloween was one of your favorite days, and you made it fun for me. And for that I'm grateful. I miss you!!
Happy Halloween!!!
I love you today, tomarrow and always...

February 21, 2008
Dear Todd,
Today, three years ago was the worst day I've ever had to date. The day I had to let you go. I think about that day often and still can not figure out how we got there. Or why. I have many unanswered questions. I only hope that the old saying is true, God had another higher purpose for you. That is truly what helps me to cope with losing you. And the fact that I believe I will see you again in our next life. I think about you everyday. Sometimes with a funny thought sometimes with a Todd would have loved that thought, either way everyday something. The other day I was thinking about some of your friends and wondering if they are doing well, if they ever think about you etc. I still can't believe that Doug has a daughter. I still think of you guys as kids yourselves. Time keeps moving and everything keeps changing. Some of the family (who ever can make it today) will be out at the cemetary later. We will be sending our messages on balloons to you again. Our yearly tradition. I miss you!!!!
I love you TODAY, TOMARROW and ALWAYS!!!!

Dear Todd,
I wanted to let you know how much you were missed today. christmas at home will never be the same for us. But I know that you would not want us to continue to be sad and to celebrate the holidays as normally as possible. So that is what I continue to do. But please know that you are on my mind the whole Day. I can't help but miss you and wish you could still be here with all of us. everyone is continuing to grow. It is so amazing to just look at them all and see the changes. Which always brings me back to the same question. What if. Merry Christmas. I love you today, tomarrow and always.

Hello Todd,
I was just thinking about you alot today because of the nice weather and all. I know this is the kind of weather you loved. So I really wish you were here to enjoy it. It's days like today that make me realize how much I miss having you here. Mother's day is coming up soon, and I will be sad that we are not able to celebrate it together. I will be out to visit and hold you dear to my heart, so in our own way I guess we will be together. I miss you. I will visit soon. I love you today, tomarrow and always!!!

Dear Todd,
I'm really going to try and be as brave as possible today. I just can't believe that the pain is still so strong. In the last two years it is for me as though time has kind of stood still. I'm in this place I can not even describe to someone. I know that I'm doing what needs to be done, working, grocery shopping and cleaning. Stuff that people do everyday. It just seems so meaning less and unfulfilling now. Just so robotic. I know it probably doesn't make much sense to anyone but me. But I have that emptyness that won't go away. I had said after you were born that I was never having another child, I thank God everyday for giving me another chance and giving me your sister. If I didn't have her I know I would have never been able to make it through this. I know I always have to be strong for her. Some days like today I know that I need someone to be strong for me. And that is why I thank God for your father. He really has been my rock. He misses you to. we all do. The house is so quiet. I have to tell you, I just realized that the answering machine was not working right. It was not letting us know that we had messages. It has not been working for a couple of weeks. Now i know that as much as you were on that phone, if you were still here, we would have figured that out long before I did. lol. See it is little everyday things like that, that seem stupid but mean something to me. The little things I miss everyday. The things that only you did. i want to see that little smirk and the nob of your head just before the whats up came out of your mouth. Trival to some but everything to me. The things that made you, YOU. I love you today, tommarrow and always.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Hello Todd,
Happy valentines day!!! I thought I would show you some love. I know I haven't done that in a while. And I am sorry about that.
I also thought i could catch you up on the family.
As you know Amy just had her second baby. And yes it was another boy. She named him Prestin. And gave him your name as his middle name. So we have a Prestin Todd Daniels. And he looks just like his brother. I told Amy you would be so proud. Amy's thought was now that Skylar has Adam's name and Prestin has your name we now have Adam and Todd back together again.
Kim is doing good in school. She loves being at Northern. And your cousin Brad just joined her there this semester. She is also getting ready to go to the Bahamas for spring break. Makes me a little nervous but I know as parents we have to give you guys your wings and let you fly. All we can do is trust that you make good decions for yourselves. Dad is good too. He has been so busy with work. Main breaks because of the cold and now plowing due to all this ugly snow. So he is tired but ok. Everyone else is doing well too for the most part. so that is all the good news i can think of.
Unfortunatly we also have some bad news. Aunt michelle just lost her job. They eliminated her postion at work. So we are all keeping our eyes and ears open for her. Hopefully it won't be long and she will find something else. Plaes keep a watch on Aunt Dawn. i'm worried about her. She has so much stress right now. Just help keep her together. Remember Uncle Ray's friend Rick? Well his mom just passed away. And my friend Nancy's mom is not doing well right now. Tammy's dad is very sick as well.
Man when will all this sadness end?
And to make matters worse we are fast approaching your 2 year anniversary. I still am living with disbelief. I really miss you like it was just yesturday.
Kim will be home and we are still planning how we will mark the day. I know that we will be coming to spend some time with you no matter what we decide.
So good bye for now.
I love you today, tomarrwo and always!!!

Happy birthday man I cant belive you are 27! I remember when your mom and pa brought you Home you were the cutest baby ever I was so proud to be an aunt and we just spoiled the crap out of you and had so much fun doing thing to you man oh man did we ever~and that never changed huh lol.It will be another Hard day but were gonna keep busy were gonna celabrate your birthday and go Ice Skating that will be something to watch huh I will be sore tomorrow my butt from falling and my face from laughing so hard watching everyone else fall too.Well you know we all miss you so much and love you lots Your death isnt any easier for anyone in this Family,
The moment that you died,
My heart split in two.
One side filled with memories.
The other died with you.
I often lay awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep.
And take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon my cheeks,
Remembering you is easy,
I do it every day!
But missing you is heartache,
that never goes away.
I hold you tightly within my heart,
And there you will remain.
Life has gone on without you,
But never will be the same.
I love you Todd Happy Birthday!

Hello Todd,
Merry Christmas!!! So much has happened since i have last written. Right after Thanksgiving as you know comes my birthday. Dad and Kim surprised me and gave me a surprise birthday party. Man that was a shock. They did good. We all had a really good time. We were certainly thinking of you that day. Aunt Dawn, Aunt Michelle and I came to visit that day. We also lite a candle in your memory. It was the annual candle light vigil. It really looked pretty out there with all the luminaries lite up. I wish I could have seen it when it was really dark. And now here it is Christmas already. I still can't believe you won't be here to share it with us. Dad, Kim and I will be out to see you in the morning before everyone comes to our house for dinner. I wanted to get back to some tradition this year so I am hosting the family Christmas at our house. We will all be thinking about you even though you can't be here with us. I woke this morning and my first thought was how am I going to do this again? I just feel so sick to my stomach and just really lonely for you. I could never explain to anyone just how much I ache. I know that I am not the only one who feels this way. Your WHOLE family does. I feel bad because they are all afraid to let me see them in their own pain. But I want them all to know that I love them and appreciate all they are going through to. I wish I could help them work thru it but I just don't know how. But I also want them to know that I want them to be comfortable around me and talking about you. I never want any of them to forget you, and or give up those special memories they have. I like when they share them. It feels good know it sounds weird but it is very comforting to me. Just like being at the cemetery with you is. I don't know if people would understand that but it's true. Soon it will be 2007. Your birthday will soon follow. Man you would have been 27 this year. I am really getting old!!! then it will be another anniversy of your death. 2 years this febuaray. Where has the time gone? I am going to take some time off of work between Chritsmas and News Years. I need some rest. I also want to see if I can box some of your things up. Just the thought of it gets my stomach in knots. So we'll see how it goes. No promises either way. I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas and let you know i'm thinking about you. I will visit tomarrow. I miss you. I love you today, tomarrow and ALWAYS!!

In My Pocket
I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.
My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.
They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.
Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.
But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Hey Mr. Sorry I haven't wrote to ya in a while. Summer was crazy. You know, things are not getting better. I miss you so much. I used to think I would never say that...with you pickin on me all the time. But I really do. The girls in my house keep pointin to the picture I have up of you and me and askin if its my boyfriend. Then of course they mention how cute he is. I have to politely correct them and let them know its my brother. Anyways things are really stressful right now. I'm basically being kicked out of my room and being forced to move into the only room I am not comfortable moving into. I dont know about this anymore...been a rough couple of days. Well I'm gonna get goin cuz I have to start movin my stuff. Keep an eye on mom and dad...you know they are quite the party animals now. Please keep Skylar safe during his surgery also.

TODD,
18 MONTHS TODAY WE HAD TO SAY GOODBYE. WHAT A NIGHTMARE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT WILL GET EASIER. I'M STILL WAITING. YES SOME DAYS I'M LESS SAD, LESS STRESSED, AND MOST OF ALL LESS MAD. AND SOME DAYS IT JUST WEIGHTS ON MY HEART LIKE A TON OF BRICKS. I FEEL SO GUILTY INSIDE ABOUT THE LAST TIME WE WERE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE. I REMEMBER PROMISING YOU I WOULD STAY AND NOT LEAVE YOU AT THE HOSPITAL. BUT I WENT HOME FOR A FEW HOURS ANYWAY. I'M SO SORRY, BUT WHO KNEW WHAT WAS TO COME. I JUST NEEDED TO GO AND CLEAN UP AND GATHER SOME CLOTHING FROM HOME. I THOUGHT YOU WOULD ENJOY PA'S COMPANY, WHICH I'M SURE YOU DID BEING AS YOU WERE SO CLOSE TO HIM. I THINK ABOUT THAT DAY AND I GET JUST SICK TO MY STOMACH. I CAN'T HELP BUT FEEL GUILT AND SHAME. I FEEL LIKE I LET YOU DOWN SOME HOW. I WISH I COULD JUST KNOW THAT YOU HAVE FORGIVEN ME. I ALSO WISH I COULD JUST STOP RELIVING OUR LAST 5 DAYS TOGETHER. I KNOW THAT ALL OF US, DR'S AND FAMILY ALIKE DID ALL WE COULD. BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE IT ANY EASIER. I'M REALLY SORRY WE HAD A SMALL FIGHT THE NIGHT BEFORE AS WELL. ALL I ALWAYS HOPE FOR IS THAT YOU KNEW HOW MUCH LOVE I HAD FOR YOU. I REALLY HOPE YOU KNEW THAT I WAS THE BEST MOM THAT I KNEW HOW TO BE. I CAN ONLY HOPE IT WAS ENOUGH AND I DIDN'T DISSAPOINT YOU TO MUCH. I WANT YOU TO KNOW I WAS VERY PROUD OF YOU NO MATTER WHAT EVER HAPPENED. I WONDER IF TODAY WOULD BE DIFFERENT. IF YOU WOULD HAVE FOUND YOUR MS RIGHT BY NOW. IF I WOULD BE A GRAMMA ETC. I HATE THINKING ABOUT ALL OF THOSE THINGS. THEY JUST MAKE ME SAD BECAUSE LIFE SHOULD HAVE JUST BEEN STARTING FOR YOU. I MISS YOU SO VERY MUCH. I STILL CAN HEAR YOUR JACKET SWISHING WHEN YOU WOULD RUN UP THE STAIRS TWO AT A TIME. LOL. I MISS THAT STRONG DEEP VOICE OF YOURS. YOUR WISE GUY REMARKS,THE PHONE RINGING OFF THE HOOK FOR YOU, AND YOUR TV BEING ON ALL NIGHT LONG.
I MISS EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU. GOOD OR BAD. NOW I LOOK FORWARD TO OUR VISITS AND PRAY FOR GOOD WEATHER SO WE CAN HAVE A VISIT. SPEAKING OF WHICH I WILL BE OUT PROBABLY ON WED SOMETIME DEPENDING ON IF I HAVE TO WORK. SEE YOU SOON. I LOVE YOU TODAY, TOMARROW AND ALWAYS!!!
