Man son, it´s been a while. I think of you daily and who you would be today. Can´t believe you would be almost a teenager. Still feels like yesterday I was carrying you with Uncle Richie to your final resting place on Earth. Our hearts are still empty with the void of your passing. I´ve come to understand over time that God needed you more than we did. I still remember the steak dinner we had with Bubby just two days before you passed. Still brings a smile to my face. I know a lots changed for us down here but we truly are so excited to see you in heaven one day. I love you my son and will never forget the joy you brought us. Till we meet again keep all of our families safe and keep the foundation strong for all of us.

Christmas #3...so very hard to imagine I've survived three Christmases without you here. Then I think what Christmas must be like in heaven. We felt your love today, and your candle was lit since Christmas Eve at your Mimi and Papaw's. I held it together for most of today...but as your stocking remained on the mantle while ours were emptied on the floor...my heart sunk. We love you baby.
Tell Jesus Happy Birthday from your family. Merry Christmas. Wait for us...

October 21, 2013

Hi baby... I know you're probably not a baby anymore:(. But I'm pretty sure you'll always be remembered as my baby. I wanted to write down our, Parker and I's, conversation this morning. I wanted to write it somewhere where I would remember it... This was the perfect spot. So during our morning drive it was rather quiet in the car, which is rare. Parker asked me what I was thinking about. I immediately replied with well what are you thinking about? He then started talking about Mamaw. I'm sure you know all about Mamaw now you get all you want of her. You were both missed here terribly. So then after Parker shared what he was thinking I told him I was thinking of you. And he then said mommy are you sad again? As tears rolled down my cheeks, I said yes bubby I'm sad again. Parker then said so matter of the factly, Mom, heaven is a happy place! Everyone's happy in heaven. Don't be sad mommy!

Not one moment goes by...

Daddy

October 13, 2013

My sweet little man how I miss u so much. I couldn't even write this yesterday because it still hurts the same as it did that day you left us and went to heaven.

I hope mamaw gave you my message. You are forever missed and there will always be a dark spot in my heart that can never be filled. I love you tons and miss you more than words can describe.
