Happy Father's Day, Germs. Today marks 18 months of my sobriety. I know you see it. Beau is such a wonderful boy. He asked me if we were excited for him to be born. Sam and Cory are doing a wonderful job. I love you. You're always on my heart and mind.

My beautiful son, I have taken you with me on my life's journey these past 4 years. Through good times, and recently, very sad times. A song comes on and I smile or cry. These moments catch me off guard. I am not the same person since you left. A piece of my heart left with you. I have found peace and cherish the 43 years I had with you. I'm trying, son. Everything has changed so much here. I will continue to celebrate your life. Grief will always be a part of who I am now, however it is the price of loving you. Until we meet again, I'll still be loving and missing you. Mom

And "just like that", its been 4 years. I'll never forget the morning I woke up after returning home from the hospital, I told my mom I didn't know how I was going to get through this. My mom told me, "Before you know it, a year is going to go by and every day will get a little better." Now here we are, 4 years later.
I haunt myself with how I grieved through this. I have had to give myself grace with the choices that I have made through this whole thing. I have so many apologies to make, but I am on the right path to doing this.
Jeremy, your legacy will forever remain here as long as we are living. Thank you for giving me and your family our beautiful boy. I'll always love you. Not a day has gone by that I haven't thought about you.

My dearest son~ It's been 2 years and this has been one of silence and feeling numb. Grief has its own way as days turn into weeks, weeks into months. Every morning I have my coffee and listen to songs as I look at your photo on my bedside. My day starts with you. I miss you so very much. I'm struggling here, but I'm trying. Your son is where you always wanted him to be. Samantha and Cory are his mommy and daddy and he is so loved. I look for pieces of you in him. He is our joy. I love you and I don't know where grief will take me next. Always in my heart, son. Until we meet again...Mom

My dearest son, today is Valentines Day. I love you. I miss you everyday. I wish you could be here to see your son and what a wonderful, beautiful, smart boy he is becoming. He is so loved by his mommy and daddy and extended family and he is a joy to us all. He is a firecracker! He's my physical therapy. I'm trying my best to live life without you in it. It's a slow process. Life for us will never, ever be the same because you're gone. You left us something to hold onto; something to cling to in our tears that come unawares. You left us with Tators. A part of you is here with us. We are blessed to have him. Sending you love to where you are, and I until we see eachother again oneday, know how much we love and miss you. Mom

My son~ you've been away for a year and it still doesn't feel real. I see you everywhere. In a song, a sunset, Sunflowers and birds in a set of three. I see you in clouds that float gently in the sky forming shapes of wings and horses. I think of those you've helped because of your donations. It brings me comfort to know that a part of you lives on. Your son is beautiful. He's smart. Hence, he can be a firecracker at times. "Mimi" (me) has now become the bug finder. We go looking for bugs. He is loved. Abra is living her dash. Samantha and Cory have chosen to be parents. And I am trying to find my way in living my life without you. I miss you. I love you.
Until we meet again someday. Mom

Bruda, I cannot believe it's been a year since you passed. I miss you tremendously, I think of you every day. I find funny videos and memes that I want to send you, almost forgetting that you are not here. Life has not been the same since you left, but I have been out doing more things than usual taking you with me in every step. Tater beans aka Farty pants is getting so big and is the smartest boy I know. We miss you.
Love you most, save a little room for me bruda

Son~ Thank you for the message you sent me. It took me by surprise, shock, and tears. You wanted to send me love and hope. You knew that this day would be difficult for me. My first mom's day without you. I am truly blessed and grateful. I love you. Forever.

Jeremy ~ Mother's Day will always be a moment in time that will be with me as it was the last time I saw you and the last family get together with everyone. I wear your gift around my neck every day. LOVE. Simple. Yet a reminder of what is so important. It was a wonderful day and one I will cherish always. It was the last time I saw you. Oneday a Sunflower will be with me always in remembrance of your of short life that I was blessed to have with you. You son is so loved. I can't believe he's going to be 3 years old! He's such a joy in our lives. He's smart, silly, and a little firecracker at times. He is our joy and happiness. Everything is okay. I love you my dear son. I'll miss you forever.
So, until we meet oneday, know you are with every single day.
All my love. Mom

My dearest son ~ Easter is tomorrow. It is another milestone you weren't able to celebrate with the family. You missed out on so many "first's." Due to the world changes you were unable to celebrate only one occasion. Your son's first birthday. He is absolutely adorable. He is so loved! I can't believe he's going to be three years old this August. He is so smart, but he can be a firecracker. He has the love and care you always wanted for him. He talks now. I'm Mimi. Finally found a name he could call me. Not a single day goes by that you are not with me. I miss you terribly, yet your sisters help me to get through the tough times.
I miss you my dear. I miss your hugs, your laughter, and your presence.
I wish I could have one more look at you. Happy and carefree.
Until we meet again. I love you. Mom

My beautiful son,
I cannot think of your dad today and not include you in my heart and soul. Though you are no longer physically here, I take you with me wherever I go. Your son now says "daddy" and kisses your large photos that line his room. He loves dinosaurs and I remember how much he loved Elmo when you were here. Samantha says she's seeing you in him as he gets older. Oh...Beau is one smart guy! He is surrounded by love. I miss you so very much. I'm trying my best son. It's a tough road to hoe to get to a place of acceptance and peace now that you're not here. I take you everywhere with me. In the wind, I hear your laughter. In a sunset I remember our special time together on the roof of your garage. Sunflowers are your way of saying "I love you, mom. Be happy."
I love you. Always a heartbeat away.
Mom.

My beautiful son,
Everyday is a struggle wishing you were still here. Thanksgiving has been difficult for me and the family. We did not gather together as usual. As I sat for the first time as a guest at someone else's table, your place remained silent and empty. I thought of you all day long. How I miss your hugs and "love you mom." You always took the leftover food gladly. As I went outside to watch the twilight kiss the sunset, I thanked God for the 43 years we all had the privilege of you being in our lives. You were a wonderful gift sent to me and you touched many lives in your short time here. You left a piece of yourself to love, and he will carry on your legacy. Another day we have gotten through. I'm struggling son, but know I'm doing the best I can everyday. I miss you more than you can ever know. Until we meet again, know that you're deeply loved and missed. I love you, son. Mom

My dearest son, today is your birthday. You would of been 44 years old. You had so many plans for the future. But life has a way of changing the future in a blink of an eye. You have brought me nothing but joy, even in the midst of troubled and difficult times. We pulled together as a family and especially your sister Abra, gave her all because she loves you and you two had a special bond. Samantha loves you dearly and she and Cory opened their home so we could gather together for family dinners and fun times. I will always cherish these times. We all missed out on so much during the Covid. You always worried so much about me, my Jeremy. I will always cherish our long conversations and sharing music together. I miss the sound of your voice. Your truck is parked silently without you. Our lives will never be the same. You left behind your beautiful son whom we love and adore so much. He's so smart and a little firecracker. He is loved and he will always know who his dada was, and how much you loved him. He was your life. Kendal is doing her best to keep your memory alive as he gets older. Wherever I go in life, I will be taking you with me in my heart. I love you so much. I miss you even more. Your loving mom.

My dearest son. I thought of you today as I loved on a Appaloosa horse who tends to have good days and bad days. These horses definitely have minds of their own. I immediately was drawn to him. Bea came and brought him out for me because he needs lots of attention. He can be difficult when he's having a bad day. However, today he sensed how difficult yesterday was for me. Every spot I touched and loved on I thought of you. I thought of how I wanted you to ride a horse with me. I will always wonder if you had the horse love like me. I'd like to think so. I will continue my horse therapy. My burro, who I call "Burrito" (Crockett is is real name) was happy to see me. And I forgot to bring the carrots. Ugh...
Just know that you're with me on this journey. Beau started daycare. I hope he's happy. Living my dash as best I can. I will always miss you forever.
Give everyone my love. Mom

Bruda, thank you for letting me know that you are around. I talk to you often and can sense your ease knowing taters and Kendal are with the family. I can promise you that things will be as you wanted them with taters, he will be circled in unconditional love, understanding and love with no bounds. He will grow up always knowing who his dada is. I will help him through his trials and celebrate his triumphs. He will forever be the one piece of you remaining. I will remind him that in life we make mistakes and that is ok, there is no such thing as a perfect person but I will remind him of how imperfectly perfect he is. I don't know much but I know that he is right were he needs to be. Give pops and gpa an hug for me. I love you more than you'll ever know. Save a little room

Happy Heavenly Father's Day, my son.
How I desperately wish you were here. I had something special to give you. But instead I left you with a single flower. One that will always be ours and have an unbreakable bond between us. Give my love to daddy Ace, your dad. I hold your love deep in my heart. I love and miss you. Mom

You spent so much time at my house during your teens, I felt like I had another kid. Good times we all had. Haven't seen you in awhile since you dropped by my house a few years ago but think of you often. Fly high and RIP.

My dearest son, life will never be the same for me. You took a part of my heart with you when you left us. I will miss you all the days of my life. Your son Beau Ace is a blessing in all of our lives. He will always know what a wonderful and loving daddy you were. I will miss our conversations, your laughter, your smile, you're saying with a hug; "I love you mom." I have been blessed to have you for 43 short years. You lived a full life in that time. Until I see you again, know I will do my best to stay strong. Sending love to you in heaven. Your loving mom.

Every time I saw Jeremy he would smile and say “Hey, Tiff” and give me the biggest hug. He had a big heart and a down to earth soul. I always loved him like a brother. He will be missed by so many.

Bruda, I miss you tremendously. It's only been a week but it feels like a lifetime. I'm going to miss your "love ya sis" texts and hugs. Beau is on good hands, he even started saying "J Stone". Life is so hard right now. I will make sure to take you back to Jamaica, as I know you found profound peace there. Life without you will never be the same. I will make you proud Bruda. Give pops and grandpa a hug from me. Save a little room for me
