I miss you more everyday I can’t go on living with so much quilts. I sometimes think why am I still here! What’s my purpose in life? I have so many enemies brothers and sisters are hating me and cursing me. Don’t know when is my time but hope to see you on the other side someday! I will say your name, even when it makes my heart ache. I will carry the love you gave me into every day I have left, right here in my heart. Forever.

Happy Heavenly Fathers Day

No matter what amount of time has pass, it still feels so different without you. The kids are getting older and have new surroundings. Miss our big tonais and get together, harder now since we are so far away from everyone in Utah. They call us when they visit you and GG we miss those car rides to you when we need to center ourselves and or just need to sit in peace near you. Another father's day without you here but I will forever be grateful for you Dad. Love and miss you.

My love❤️

Hi, it’s been awhile haven’t come and give you a message. My life has been changed so much as of our kids and grandkids too. We all have our own life and way different than before. I love you and I miss you everyday! My loneliness and sadness of missing you I can’t bare of thinking of what we could have done done together. It’s hard without you, financial I am greatly appreciated your hard work I am very thankful, great full and blessed thank you. Living in Oklahoma is a big step for me with Nara n the kids. Leaving our boys in Utah is hard, I believe they are doing good on their own with Gods love and his blessings over us. I love you so very much. Our new home in Oklahoma.

I WAS LUCKY TO BE LOVED BY YO Whenever I find myself missing you...it doesn't just hurt, it reminds me. Reminds me of how lucky was to have you in my life. Because not everyone gets a love like yours... a love that felt like home, like peace, like everything was going to be okay. And now you're gone... I miss you in ways I can't explain, in waves that come without warning, in nights that feel longer without you here. But even in all this pain...'m grateful. Grateful that I got to know you, to love you, to be loved by you. And maybe that's the hardest part, learning to live a life where you exist only in memories...but still mean everything to me.

I miss you everyday.

Having coffee with memories of you how you sit how you talk how you make jokes I miss everything of you! I’m so thankful and great full for everything you do for me and our family. I miss you more than words could say. No matter how many tears I cry I know you are not coming back, all I have is our memories together with our kids and grandkids. Love you forever more.♥️

I miss you everyday.

My one and only love! There are nights when I sit in the quiet and let the truth sink in-you're gone, and no amount of love or tears will ever bring you back. It's not about chasing reasons anymore, or searching for for answers that don't exist. It's about learning to live with the heartbreak, the silence, and the pain that lingers. I miss you in ways I can't explain. I miss the comfort of being understood without words, the safety of having someon who just knew me. I miss the way lifesk felt lighter, brighter, and whole when you were here. Since you left, nothing has been the same. The sadness stays, shadow I carry, reminding me of everything I lost.
