I often think of you and think of how different things would be .... I love you chad..

Thinking about you and your sister Helena Jenkins this morning... wishing I could hear your beautiful laugh and share a punch buggy with you and laughing at how she would run from yours and buds kisses... then give in because you all would not stop until she did... thinking about how you would call me to either pick daddy up for you or take him back... thinking about how you would stop what you are doing to go pick up Mannie from school... now all of you are together somewhere in heaven in those homes you told me about... love you and miss you all so much...

Hi my baby, my love, my friend ,my baby brother
Happy 30th Birthday I love and miss you extremely.

It's been awhile for me, it's not easy.
How funny that this morning on your birthday I awake from having a dream about you and it was wonderful. Uncleman this was my first dream I've had of you in a long while, I have not a dream about you since the year you were taken from my life. Brother this dream was different because normally the dreams that I did have, you were the young Uncleman the lil boy. Which always made me laugh.

This dream was amazing we were laughing having so much fun and having adult conversation about everything. Right before I opened eyes I layed my head on those broad shoulders of yours and I melted we both cried and showed our love we always remember and share.
Chad by the way those shoulders was alot bigger than I remember LOL : ).

I'm loving the time I get to spend with your babies not only as my nieces and nephew, but though them I still have a BIG BIG part of you to love. We can talk about you and that's something we will always share for all of us. Can't help but think how life would be right now with you here and the father the man, the person you would have become. Making such a huge difference in so many lives.

Chad your babies not babies anymore they are getting so big and I love my conversations with them too. They are so funny and see you so much in them.

Brother I will come again not sure when, but today I celebrate you on your 30th Birthday. I love you Jeremiah Chad Michael Sanford

Hey Baby Bro,

How you doing in your new job? I know are still working hard up there taking care of other people... now you are winning souls for the Lord... I was talking to bud the other day and someone was talking about how special you were and how much you are missed... Uncleman... I know you are busy working for the lord but keep your family in his ear... Helena needs to know that you are okay and it is okay for her to fight a little harder and be strong... I know she misses you and Mannie so much but ask God to send his angels to protect her and give her strength; heal her heart so that she can get well. Give Sandy, Honey, Alla, Gamama, and our other family members in heaven a big hug from us... Love you baby bro... miss you and think about you always..

October 10, 2013

just thinking about you baby bro... time does not stop the pain as I thought... I try to keep remembering the sound of your voice, your laugh, seeing your lips as it twist up, and how you try to run away when you punch me in the leg... always playing... well baby bro. I really needed you here the other day... tata needed you... I am sure you know.... a message to all... cherish the time you have with your loved one... each second in more precious than the last... take time to say hi, I love you, and I am sorry... leave a voice message and if you get one don't delete it because not hearing them is the worst part... call your family today... tomorrow is not promised... quit putting things off til tomorrow or next month, next year... do it now..if you love someone go ahead and let them know it....Uncleman and Mannie I love you both! I wish I had more time to tell you everyday just how precious you both were to me. Family, I love you, and Larry D.L. i love you too.

Happy b-day... Luv ya always... I bet you are still making your rounds from house to house.. I still keep looking up in the sky waiting to see your smile...:)

baby..I saw you in heaven walking down a shing street and i also dreamed that the clouds parted and you were going to heaven.. God was parting the clouds and welcoming you to such a beautiful place... chad, it had while pillars, sparkling colors like gems stones, the more the clouds parted the brighter it got... and chad there were so many windows... not with glass but open... showing so many rooms... it was so peaceful i did not want to wake up... i am just so please that God allowed me to share in your journey to see heaven open up for you... talk to you in my dreams... luv your sis shell

Well, this is not my thing, writing letters or stuff like that. Its very hard for me to open myself up emotionally in many ways. That's why it took me soooo. long to do this, not that you have not been on my mind and heart 24-7. Well, this is what I would say to you if I could right, I knew that I loved you ( My Baby Brother ), but until you were no longer phyiscally here, I didn't realizie just how much. my heart is a little bigger with you forever in there. I miss you, with all my big heart.

February 24, 2013

Well, baby bro... it's been a while and it's still fresh. I known you are walking with the angels & talking to the Heavenly Father real fast & trying to get your point across...lol... your sister Jackie dreamed of you crossing over a bridge laughing & smiling... you were visiting ppl to let them know you are okay... always thinking about other ppl... :) the message is clear you ARE IN HEAVEN....doing the work that God intended for you to do.... I just wish he would have let us know that we only had you for a little while... 26 years just was not enough time.....love ya....baby bro.... miss you.... keep watching over us.... luv your sis shell.

Uncle Man, you were the best little brother I sister could ask for.. Love you loads..

October 26, 2012

It hurts so bad.. words can not begin to explain the pain that is deeply woven in my spirit; I guess that's why it took me so long to write something on this page. I check your Facebook page almost everyday to see who's been thinking about you. I check the dispatch to see if there are any new post. But now, I am here, writing- hoping this will help me release something.. what, i don't know. I hope writing this will make me feel a little better... needless to say, Big Sis Love you...

bud and Uncleman sharing some laughs

October 2, 2012

Just thinking about you Lil bro... miss you so much and love you always. I know you are in heaven watching all of us... wondering why are we so sad... you are back in heaven with the angels, smiling a laughing, and sharing stories with our sister Sandy, Honey, and other relatives... It seems like only yesterday but I know your big sister said it is time for you to come home and spend some time with her...She probably said "ok, Lord, it is time for me to have my baby bro back..." Love Ya,, Another Big Sis who wishes you were still here with us...

When I read this poem I think of you Uncleman... this is you!
Not, How Did he Die
But How Did He Live

Not, how did he die, but how did he live?
Not what did he gain, but what did he give?
These are the units to measure the worth
of a man as a man, regardless of birth.
Not, what was his church, nor what was his creed,
but had he befriended those really in need?
Was he ever ready, with word of good cheer,
To bring back a smile, to banish a tear?
Not what did the sketch in the newspaper say,
but how many were sorry when he passed away.

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.
