Aaron,

The last few of weeks have felt like I jumped in a time machine and went back 16 years, almost 17. The holidays are always hard without you, but this year it feels like the beginning of this grief all over again. I don´t know why but I guess that´s just how this grief things works. I wish I could pick up the phone and call you. I wish a lot of things. When you were still here, I treasured your words. And now I wish I had more of them to hold on to. I wish I had more of you to hold on to.

Always loving and missing you.

Always loving and missing you.

15 years ago today. 15 years and an ocean of tears.
I never thought I´d make it this far. Losing you is the hardest thing I´ve ever been through. Living with a broken heart is the second hardest. I love you Aaron, and I miss you every single day. God has you in His arms and I have you in my heart.

Always loving and missing you.

November 8, 2022

Aaron, I shared about the wound I will carry with me for the rest of my life after losing you and today I feel like I got your message loud and clear. God I miss you. My wound is tender these days and I´ve learned through the years that this pain will always ebb and flow and will never cease. I´m holding you close Aaron, never forgetting. You will always be at the core of my story.

Forever my Son, Forever your Mom

It´s been 14 years Aaron. It´s hard to explain these feelings. It seems like yesterday, but at the same time, it seems like so long ago. It hurts that so much time has passed. But every day is a day closer to seeing you again. You appear in my dreams, and I´m thankful for them. You are in my heart always. Every day. ALWAYS.
I love you Aaron. I miss you.

Time seemed to go by so slow waiting for your life to blossom and now it seems to be on fast forward since you’ve been gone. Last week hit me with confusion, it doesn’t seem possible another year without you has passed. I miss you. This journey feels endless today and I just want to keep you close.

I wish you were here.
I’d call to say hi.
I’d ask about your mom and what’s current in your life.
We’d talk.
We’d encourage one another.
I know you’d be there if I were having a bad day.
I know I’d be there if you were having a bad day.
Today’s a bad day.
I wish you were here.

I heard a song the other day, by Toby Mac. He wrote it about his son who passed away a couple of months ago. He was 21. The name of the song is 21 Years. It made me cry, and reminds me so much of you Aaron.
I think of you all the time, and miss you all the time.
I love you so much. I wish you were here ♥♥♥

Aaron, it's so hard to believe it's been 9 years without you here. I'm still in this "bubble" of time. So much has changed, so much has happened, but the passage of time, I can't really comprehend.
I long to see your face, your smile, your amazing eyes....to hear your voice and your laugh.
God knows how much I love you and miss you, and how much it hurts.....and It hurts all the time.
I love you Aaron, and I WILL see you again.

I was looking at you & John's picture this morning and thinking about just how 2 wonderful young men are so missed by their families. Not a day goes by that I don't pass by your pictures and say a prayer each day. The pain never ends in that part of our hearts. Knowing that God holds you now, gives your family some peace. One day we will be together forever. Until then I know you are a bright shinning STAR Aaron, looking down on all those who loved you very much. Hugs and Much Love, Kat

Happy Birthday in Heaven Aaron.

You would be 31 years old today, but years don't matter in Heaven....you are in eternity now.

You are in my heart, and in my thoughts all the time. Every where I go, there are reminders of you. Everything I do, there are reminders of you.
This pain will not end until I see you again...and I WILL see you again. I can't wait.
I love you and miss you so much Aaron.

My Dear Aaron, I have not been here in a while and want you to know that I think of you all the time. As I do your loving family. I continue to have you photo next to my John, you both have such beautiful smiles. One that could make a room light up when you walked in. Sometimes there are just no words as to WHY you had to leave the way you did. As with John, I know you are at peace. As a Mother sometimes our hearts just cannot find that peace you have found no matter how hard we try. Our Memories are Cherished each and everyday, one of my most favorite memories of you Aaron was what a great Artist you were, I told you once you were going to be famous one day. I hope you are painting or drawing the Heavens in many beautiful colors. With much Love and Hugs Kat

March 31, 2015

I thought I was going to finally make it through March without a meltdown but I was wrong. The last few days have been weighing so heavy on my heart and I can't pinpoint anything other than how much I miss you. My heart longs so badly for you and it feels so empty as the reality of the time that continues to pass settles in. Time isn't stopping, it's not slowing down, and it's a constant reminder that each day I'm further away from the last time I was with you. It's a reminder of the memories that were never made. A reminder of the life you were supposed to live. Oh Aaron, Aaron, Aaron, how I wish this all could have been so different. This is not how things were ever supposed to be. Always loving and missing you.

Forever your Mom

March 19, 2015

I'm missing you more than ever Aaron.
I love you and I still need you here.
God knows my pain, and He is the ONLY way I get through this.

You're so loved and missed......

March 19, 2015

7 years have passed and it's the most peace I have been able to find. Still, there is an emptiness. When I woke up in the morning there was a deep ache inside of me. I still miss you, I still need you, that will never change. Everything has changed so much and I can only hope you are proud and at peace. Always loving and always missing you Aaron.

I WILL see you again.....

March 19, 2014

Aaron, I'm trying so hard to keep it together. I'm not ready for this. I'm not ready to accept that it's been 6 years without you and everyday that passes is a day further away from the last time I saw you. I miss you so much Aaron. I miss you today, I miss you always. It hurts today Aaron, it hurts so much. I still need you here.

February 22, 2014

Sometimes when the tears come, it's unexpected. It is always overwhelming. This deep, deep ache will never go away. I will always remember. I will always miss you. I will always love you. Forever in my heart, Aaron.

December 25, 2013

I think about you all time I sense your presence and when I close my eyes I can see your smile :) I have good memories and great memories with you. Even though we were sometimes on different paths they always crossed again at some point I am so thankful to have been fortunate enough to have had the chance to get to know you and grow up with you. So many things remind me of you especially around old Towne. You left an impression on me and I'm just one of the many. Your in my heart and in my thoughts I miss you

I wish so much that you were here with us. I wish I could go back and change so many things.

You are missed and loved, ALL the time. Some days are harder than others. SO many memories have come flooding back in the last few days....it's like they were put on "hold" and now they're being released. Some make me laugh, and some make me cry....but they all make me so aware of how much I miss you, and need you here.

I LOVE you Aaron, with all my heart, with all that I have, and all that I am.

March 19, 2013

March 19, 2013

Oh Aaron....I love you and I miss you so much. 5 years ago today, and the hurt never goes away.

An ache so deep, that I can hardly breathe.
This pain can't be imagined.
Will it ever heal?
Your hand so small, held a strand of my hair, so strong.
All I could do was keep believing. Was that enough?
I wanna scream....is this a dream? How could this happen?
This isn't fair, this nightmare.
This kind of torture, I just can't bear.
I want you here!
I waited so long for you to come.
Then you were here, and now you're gone.
I was not prepared for you to leave me...oh this misery.

An ache so deep that I can hardly breathe

God help me....God help me breathe.

*Plumb*
