OK Ad Crad
At our one year date I am still trying to understand this and accept it.
I knew when you were growing up I would have to share you with many who loved you. That was OK. Lots there to love about you.
What I didn't expect was to miss you and share that feeling with so many as well.
You left such an impact on many who are still hurting and love you.
I am so very proud of your friends; Kris and Tina and family. People have rallied and are doing what they can for Trinity and they have not forgotten.
I have seen such good things this year and yet seen such suffering.
I have not had many words and still miss your "HI Ma " when my phone would ring.
I see love coming from places unexpected and nothing coming from places it should be.
I wanted so much for our last talk about bikes to be true.
We were going to get new bikes and ride together when we got life under control. I have to hold on to the memories of our few rides and our trip on the freeway with you screaming " Way to go Ma" behind me. You helped me face my fears ...
I so wish Ad Crad I could have helped you face whatever was bothering you.
My love will always will be with you.
Rachel told me you bragged about Monkey Bread, in a time I needed to hear something special she gave me a gift!
I promise you I will teach Trinity how to throw the dough and make a messed up fun treat!
I promise to enjoy her heart and love her through the pain she no doubt will feel in this loss.
I promise to tell her every story and ask others to tell her every story they know so she knows who you are.
I promise you lots in our talks. They will never stop.
I love you BUNCHES

Adam, I can't beleive it has almost been a year. And I still can't get over you. Not a day goes by without something reminding me of you. It is very hard, I try to stay strong. And I do what I can to keep everyone else strong.

Adam,
I can't believe its been almost a year.
Theres not a day gone by that I don't think about you and try to remember every word you had to say. I look at pictures and remember the conversations the day they were taken.
I really miss you Adam and I want you to know that will never change.
When I see Trinity I can only see you in her. She's beautiful and she is such a big part of you and how you were..
Her smile is you. Her giggle is you. Her heart is you...
She touches many lives just as you did.
I love you and miss you Adam. Always know I do.....

Happy Easter Ad Crad
Trinity and I stopped and got you flowers she picked out . They had to be red. She enjoyed putting them out for you and left you an easter egg with Money and Candy in it! We had fun having four egg hunts this weekend. She cheats! But she had fun and she wanted to leave one for you.
We laughed and had fun and I hope you enjoyed her laughter as much as we do.
Love goes up to you.
Enjoy the angel we left to watch over you. Trinity thought it special as did I.

I fed Trinity Broccoli the other night at Bob Evans....
Reminded me of you and your funny " UM- UM- UM Broccoli UM- UM- UM" (and your actions as you said it)
Your humor has hung around for years and years and brought us many smiles and laughter.
She is you for sure. Mac & Cheese and Broccoli - and has to do it herself!
She picked a football over a purse!
Boy she was happy when we showed her inside the football was a bear inside .. she was so happy!
She is gonna be something just like her Dad !
My love goes up to you.

I had to write an english paper about something that has happened in my life that has impacted me more then anything. You are the only thing that came to mind. I still miss you so much everyday. I'm still waiting to know when all of the pain and hurt goes away but I will never know, cause it never does go away. This is actually the second paper I have written in my english class that has had to do with you. You are always in my thoughts no matter what happens. I actually can't seem to get you out of my thoughts. Everyday something happens either at work or in my personal life, and I talk to you about it. I just wish I could hear you respond. I love you and miss you baby!!!!!

Merry Christmas My son.
I am just one of many who had a hard time this; our first Christmas without you. Trinity was shown a very strong outpouring of love and caring by many people who have continued to show us LOVE is stronger than Blood.
I know you can see their love and caring.
My prayers go up and I pray your at peace. I lit a candle for you ... I will love you always.
As will many others.

HI U
Boy this is such a hard thing.
I read a poem and it says to Release you and let you go.
I have a strong love and belief in God , and yet I can't seem to accomplish this.
It says to be happy we had so many years... this I can do.
I thank God I was your mother everyday and I thank him for the opportunity he gave me, you are such a blessing.
Then it says to let my grief be comforted by Trust... this is hard but possible. I remember you went to camp and came home so full of belief and saying you had been saved, I wasn't as strong in my faith then like I am as I get older . I guess I was maybe afraid loving God and living a better life was not fun.. turns out life is much better in his circle .
It says if I listen I will hear... I wish I could hear .. I need to understand why your gone from earth and no answers explain it. I have to trust God that I can do... yet I still question God.
Holidays are coming.. it is just tough knowing your not at a dinner table with me... with God you'll be.
We are looking out for your baby girl. Kris and Tina have been angels on earth, you will be proud looking down at them.
I miss you my son.
Happy Holidays in Heaven

Adam,
Its beeen six months now that you have been gone. For me it feels like a week. Maybe its because I keep replaying so many memories with you in my head that I almost feel like you are still here. I think about that Monday when I left you at work alone and I still remember you leaning out the door saying good bye. I think about that everyday and to me, I still see you. I didnt even realize it was the six month anniversary until I caught myself looking out the doors at work, waiting for you to walk in again. I catch myself doing that alot though. Waiting for you to tell me it was a dream or just a stupid joke. I still miss you so much and people say it gets easier with time but I'm still waiting to see when thats true. Time has not done anything for me but make me miss you more. I love you Adam, I know you are watching all of us and loving us. That is what gives me peace everyday.

Hey Ad Crad...
Your Birthday is coming up and
I just wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday first (me being Ma!)
I owe you an apology my son... I am truly sorry and I will tell you in one of our talks why.
I love You ~ Your Mom forever

Adam,
When you left I was in shock and I still am.
Everyday I think about you and wish it was all just a bad dream and that you would come home.
At Trinitys 2nd Birthday party I kinda watched for you to show so we could take pictures of the Big Event and you with your family.
You didn't come and Ashley had to open all the presents by herself. (Trinity was having more fun playing in the pool.):)
In my heart I'm comforted with knowing 100% that you are with God in his loving arms.
Comforted in knowing Grandma is there too.
Its very heart wrenching to see this family try to go on day to day ...just making it through yet another day without you in it.
I hear your daughter talks with you..
Trinity, yet another blessing...
I'm so thankful her little heart can't feel the pain the family endures each day.
Trinity was even from birth a beautiful blessing to this family.
Everyone can see so much of you in her Adam.
She is so comforting to the saddened hearts of those who are there for her, and always will be.
Your Mom is with you everyday in thoughts and prayers.
She often takes Trinity along with her to be with you.
Your mom finds her comfort and strength being as close as she can to you and asking for Gods healings..
She says Trinity plays with her duckies while they visit you and then Trinity leaves them there for you to protect till she comes back.
Adam I want you to know there has been many shared emotions, love, support and prayers offered in your name.
These friends are family friends , family Co-workers ,your friends , your co-workers past and present.
All these people love and miss you.
They have all have found ways again and again to be there for the family. Helping with food, $$$, stories of you...
(You ate a spider???)
Whatever it takes to help support the familys ,they were there.
Most importantly love has been shown. These friends and all their kindness shown have been layed softly on your moms heart to sheild her from the constant pain I know she feels.
Lives have been changed and others faiths have been tested during this time.
I know that with GOD's help and the love felt for you Adam it will only shine thru all the hard times then, now and yet to come.
In time this family and all your friends will heal knowing where you are and the new life you have found there.
I will too ...find peace.
I so want to smile thinking of you.....
Thanks so much to all who have been there for this family .....

Adam I still need you. I've tried to do it all on my own but I can't. When I needed someone to lean on or talk to you were there, and now I don't have you anymore. I have so many things going through my mind right now and the one person I want to share them with isn't here. You always knew just what to say to make me feel better. Everyone keeps saying how it will get easier, but it hasn't. I've gotten good about hiding my feelings though. Adam I'm so sorry. I feel you with me sometimes but it's not the same. I can't hold you, or kiss you. The bottom line is I'm still not ready to let you go. It still gets me when Trinity talks to you. My heart is broken and I hoestly don't know where to begin to fix it. I've been doing all this stuff that I thought would make me happier and it's not. I need you. I love you Adam. I wish you were here with us.

Baby, we did it! We got are G.E.D. just like we said we would. You may not have been with me physically but you were emotionally and mentally(thats the only reason I passed by the way.) I was on cloud nine that I could tell you we did it. But then came the night, when I opened a beer to celebrate and looked at the empty seat across the patio that you should have been in celebrating with me. And once again, I lost it. I still miss you so much. Your mom brought me balloons and a card but those should have been for you. I know in her eyes they were for us. But I wish she could have given you some for doing it too. I made our dream happen but it was sad cause I wanted to hug you and tell you we did it and I couldn't. Kyle bought one of your puppies though so soon a part of you will be in my house everyday and I can't wait. Kyle and I miss you so much and we still talk about you everyday. I know you are looking down and you are proud of both you and I for accomplishing this and that does bring a smile to my face. I love you and miss you always.
Your Ma Forever & Always

And we will put it away for her to enjoy in later years.
I am sure you will see her smile and hear her from Heaven.

Ad Crad,
Father's Day was hard . Trinity Christine and I worked Saturday on things for you. She colored you a picture and shopped for balloons for you. Sunday morning was two months and also Father's Day double whammie. We met Ashley at your grave and I tried to honor you as you should be honored on Father's Day. Trinity left you some Duckies and we hung a wind chime in the tree beside you (she loved it and wanted it ) I still have that selfish side and wish you were here with us. I hope you felt the love we tried to express for you.
I took Trinity to church with me ... we had a good time. She made several people smile with those dimples you blessed her with!
All my love Adam David ...
Always and Forever your Ma.

Adam, David still misses you everyday. I like to hope he is getting stronger though. I dont think you understand how much you touched him. Here is the poem he wrote you.
Adam
Funny, caring, active, and joyful
A friend to David
Feels upset, angry, and happy
Fears some medicines, some flowers, and snakes
Who wants to be curious, happy, and loved

I keep waiting for life
To go back to the norm
But it never will again
Cause you aren't coming back
I keep telling you I love you
And that I miss you
Like it will make you come back
And then reality hits
I still think about you
Every hour of every day
When does everything get easier
When will my heart stop breaking
I see your car parked outside skyline
And it hits me its not your car
And it never will be again
I wanna feel your arms around me
And just hold on to that hug forever
I have tried to let you go
But I dont want to
If I dont go to the cemetary
Than I worry that you
Will suddenly think I forgot you
But when I do go
I know this is all real
Everyone is hurting so bad
I wish you knew how much you were loved
How many people would have done anything
Just to have you here with us
Sometimes I wanna yell at you
But my heart wont let me
I just want you back
I wanna be able to hear you laugh
And listen to your crazy rants
I just wanna hear you
And see that smile again
There are times when I know
That you are here
And it gives me comfort
But its not the same
Cause you aren't talking back
Sometimes when i laugh at work
I feel guilty cause you aren't here
And I wanna hear you laugh
At all the crazy things
I am getting better though
I am not crying every day
Or even every other
I can actually make it a couple of days now
There were things I only talked to you about
And now I feel like I have no one
Nobody else would understand
And be able to give me the advice you did
I am so lost without you
And now I have to find myself again

I heard you on the tape and this is what you said "I love you Jenny This is Adam , I'm your cousin.
You are 5 years old today. Your a lady." You were a sweet and gentle soul from the get go. You smiled all the time and had the cutest smile and dimples. I will never forget those times. When you needed us we would have been there... Even Jenni would have been there for you.
You tested your mother but I know you always knew deep that she was the best Mom and she would be there for you.
I loved how you were there for Grandma those hugs were loving and genuine and Mom was so happy.
Holding your daughter Trinity you were a natural. A father with lots of love packed up inside for your little girl. We all knew you loved her. I'm sure your with my Mom and she is there beside you. I think you were another of her favorites. Thanks for all the love and respect you gave to her.
I miss you Adam and I will always love you very much.
Your Ma For Eternity
June 1, 2007
You have kept me busy ...but not busy enough to forget your hugs; your smiles; your corney laugh; your ornery ways; your honesty about most things... I thank God for giving me you ~ I thank You for being you and for everything you did for me .. for every lesson you taught me about being a good person and for everytime we would remind each other to do better ~ for everytime I saw you on the football field supporting other team members as a young boy to the times more recent when we rode and you tested me to try new things ~ now I am being tested to the most unbelievable level I ever imagined .. I have to believe your in a better place than here with us. I know it is there in Heaven but my human self wants more time. Forgive me for that one, I haven't fixed that selfish desire yet. I will love you always my son. I will always remember and in time smile.

Words cannot describe the sorrow I feel. My heart breaks for you Adam, Trinity, Deb, Kris, Christine and the rest of your family and friends. I remember when you were just 8 or 9 yrs old at the apartments, you always had a sparkle in your eye, a way to make everyone laugh and of course being a boy, you were usually up to something! :) You never hesitated to include Tyler when he asked to play (who was a 4 yr old then)because that was just you. Adam, you will be forever missed and always remembered. The world is a better place because you touched it. So many people loved you Adam. Your sister, your mom and dad... So many will miss you. God be with you.
With deepest sympathies and heavy hearts,
