I spent today with Melissa, Beck and Granny. Then we met Jordan for dinner. Beck wants us from now on to make sure we have a extra chair at our table so his Daddy's spirit can always be with us. |
Thinking of you Lori... |
Miss you! |

Shortly after Kevin passed I had a dream that gave me a bit of comfort in a very tough time:
Many of us were all hanging together at the big house. And while it wasn't very specific it seemed as though it was a holiday maybe like thanksgiving. While me and a large group of our friends were congregating in the living room, several others were in the kitchen cooking but from where I was sitting I couldn't see the people in the kitchen. As I'm looking at the doorway into the kitchen, Kevin popped his head into the doorway, looked at me, raised his eyebrows and with a goofy grin popped a bit of food into his mouth and retreated back into the kitchen.
In that dream, we never spoke. But, in a time of true emotional turmoil, my friend Kevin appeared to me and offered me comfort and without a single word told me that he was ok and that I would be too.
Love you, Kevin. |
Miss you every day Bub. Love you. |

Kevin, you were the greatest friend to my son. Thank you for that. |
One day we will join you in Heaven... But until that day comes, we'll be missing you, your smiling face and your loving heart. We'll watch over Beck; he'll never wonder about what kind of man his father was. |
Still thinking of all of you. |

In memory of Kevin,
Each time I see a bright shining star, I will remember you and my daughter, Jen. I know you are both now at peace, with no sorrow, no pain. You are loved and deeply missed every day..... |
I miss him so much, so sad, but we will make up for the time we lost when I get to heaven. I love you bub! |

It's true what they say, when a child is born,
a parent's heart is no longer their own,
It runs and skips and giggles and grins,
And crawls in their laps, for a kiss on the chin,
But where goes their heart, when that child is gone,
Is it true what they say, that life goes on.
Days go by & the clock still ticks,
2 whole years, the months - 24,
Does the passage of time mean it should make sense,
Can loss be measured in time increments.
As we yearn for the day when we'll again see our son,
Is it true what they say, that life goes on.
We still breathe in and out and arise every day,
And work, and struggle, and yes, even play,
Things will get better, we've been told many times,
But "different" is the status for those left behind,
Time can't heal all wounds nor break all bonds,
Can it be true what they say, that life goes on.
In the air and wind, we feel your strong embrace,
And your kisses from butterflies that land on our face,
we see your smile in the beams of the sun,
The twinkle of your eyes now shines in Eden,
And we hear your laugh in the lyrics of song,
Is it possibly true, that life goes on.
It's strange to think that your heart still beats,
Inside some stranger, whom we'll never meet,
Does he know he carries a heart of gold,
From our sweet boy, who will never grow old,
So many lives saved by your own,
Yes - it's true what they say, that life goes on.

Remember Me
Remember me when roses bloom
And Spring returns again ---
For I am ever present in your midst
In the dawn and in the wind ---
You mustn't think I've gone away
For good - Instead remember me
The way I was in better days
The way it used to be ----
Remember me as I am now
Alive, at peace, and free ---
There is no place for sorrows past
Is just a lost memory ----
For life derives its' purest joy
In living day to day ---
Follow what I've taught you
And REMEMBER ME, this way .....
