And I Telya I can´t believe how long it´s been already. The pain is not subsided for me at all. I love you and miss you so much I wish you was here, but I know you´re enjoying your life as I always wanted you to I know in my heart that you´re with me every day and I know you see that I finally broke free from all the problems that I have and soon I will start enjoying my life with the boys, I know you´re looking after them. I´m sure you´re impressed with the way Cooper´s playing guitar he takes after you. I´m learning an instrument myself so I can play with him like you played with your friends as you enjoyed your life. I love you buddy your big Bro harrison.

Well here we are again and I think for me this time is been the worst I feel like I just walk around and go through the motions no happiness no joy no laughter but still full of memories of days gone bye one of the things that still holds me together sometimes I feel that there’s not enough strength left in me to go through this year after year but something keeps me thinking positive and keeping my Direction moving forward I miss all the times we talk together laugh together and cry together but because you’re still in my heart I will keep this going as long as I can I will never stop I will never quit I will never ever give up I’ve already said too much because I know I get on your last nerve I know you know how I feel before I feel it and I know I have always wore my heart on my sleeve and I always will so I hope you’re enjoying your unlimited guitar playing in the one true place that only you can be happy birthday write a new song for me keep an eye on Cooper he’s learning The guitar all by himself and Harrison is doing wonderful things with his drawing but I’m sure you already know that so keep a watch over all of us and keep everyone safe I know you see this crazy time we’re all going through that you told us was coming and everyone thought you was crazy how ironic the man with a plan all right big man I will talk to you soon you’re a big bro Harrison

I remember you two rough and tumble kids. We all went to Heimandale together. Herman was always smiling. He would get a red face when he was angry though. Harrison was the big brother always looming in the background protective of his little brother.

Man what a Christmas this has been without you around i thought as the years grow longer it would ease up a bit but guess what NOT HAPPENING and most of all for me missing that certain something you always had and even more around the holidays i will say till i meet you again that this was not fair in anyway but i no that your pain has been lifted and you are at peace i feel like such a empty shell of myself with no laughter from your silly jokes or just having your number to call my bro just to shoot the breeze man i just wanted to catch up with you marry Christmas
just wondering has the country boys made any new songs in heaven for you i know you saw coop got a guitar for Christmas and will get some lessons soon
love ya big man

well here we are another year has past and yet i feel like they are flying by even though it has been a couple of years since you have been away i feel you around me everyday and sometimes feel that i catch glimpses of you in a crowd ( crazy right ) but not really because your memory is never stronger in my HEART as i sit and write this i feel you are with me now knowing that the days for me without you have never been harder to deal with not having someone to talk and laugh as only you and me did i seems very unfair to me but it is life and as you always said ( it is what it is ) well i don't want to twist your ear just letting you know how much i miss not having you near by but it is a blessing to know you are always a part of my life
by the way has heaven upgraded to CD or does the fellas still play for you
love ya big man and happy b-day dam you are getting old
your bro

I can't believe it has been a year already, seems like yesterday to me. It is funny to see now who was Bub's true friends and who just knew him.I can't find the words that would ever describe losing him and I wouldn't even try. His ashes have now been laid to rest in the waves of Hilton Head, South Carolina. For sure it wasn't the same without him there but something happened to me that has changed my life forever. After spreading his ashes in the ocean a rainbow appeared from nowhere for about 5 seconds and I have it on video, just Bub showing off as usual :) and it made me feel like I did the right thing to lay him somewhere that he felt at home.I will always cherish the great memories I have of a greatest brother and my best friend in the world! Keep on playin' music, tell Johnny Cash hello for me. Happy Birthday Big Man from your bro, Love, Harrison

I was from NYC and Bub was country. We were as different as it gets....yet so very similar. He always accepted me as part of his family, and helped me so much when I was down and out. I am deeply saddened by the loss of my friend. Now I know I have to be good, so that I can see him again someday, in Heaven. Bub...I will never forget your kindness and goodness! You and Harrison were so good to me when I came out here from NY. Harrison may not know it, but he saved my life. God bless both the Tidwell brothers...and also Georgie! I love you guys!
Rest in Peace, my friend and brother.
