It's been a whole decade without you dad. I miss you so much. I often wonder if you'd be proud of my accomplishments since your death. I've forgotten what your voice sounds like and it breaks my heart. You were such a amazing and loving person, it really saddens me to find out that your family up and left you at around the age I am. Momma, and you, would of never did something like that to me. I love you daddy, may your beautiful soul rest in peace.

Dear Son- As these years have passed without your physical presence, being able to talk with you, hear your laugh, feel your lightness of being, it has been difficult. But I know you are in the Presence of King Jesus. And you are guardian angel to Tyler. Rest assured you will never be forgotten that prayers are continually prayed for your peace and that someday we will be together again. In living memory, mama

Timmy I wrote something yesterday on the day of your passing six years ago, but it got lost. I planted a forest in your name in Michigan. Your spirit needed to have a physical legacy, besides your bloodline. I miss you every single day. May your soul be at peace. Love you, momma

It’s been 6 years without you dad but it feels like a lifetime of sad, mad, hurt expressions. It’s definitely gotten better to cope with over the past year or so rather than the first year. I also wanted to tell you something, I got a girlfriend and it’s probably one of my biggest achievements since your passing and I hope your proud of me i really hope you are.

My Sweet Son, on this date four years ago, my world went into chaos. No order for having lost you physically. Slowly the wrongs are being set right. The gratitude of having had you here for 37 years can be appreciated. You helped a lot of people with your grand heart. We will meet again, of this I am sure. The Heavens are brighter with your mighty Light. Miss you, love you. Mom
