Miss You! 💔
I never thought I would be one of those people who sit and talk to your stone. I know you are always with me, in my heart, but I find peace sitting in the sunshine telling you about my life, my fears, my troubles, my successes. Then ending our conversation with the best way to give tribute to you that I know…we listened to your favorite song. 🎶💜🪽
Missing a piece of my heart
Anyone who knew Tracy would tell you that she was weird, funny, unique, and filled with faith and love. But to me, she was so much more than that! One of the strongest women in my life has been gone for one whole year! Almost every memory from my childhood has my amazing aunt Tracy in it. Living next to her, she was always near. Forcing me to read books when I didn’t want to, sneaking me candy bars when I was in trouble, playing trolls, Sega & Atari video games, listening to music, driving around in the Jeep blasting Prince and the Beatles, dressing up in her military fatigues, touring the 185th Air Refueling Wing in Sioux City, IA…the list goes on and on. I will forever be grateful for her taking the time to spend quality time with me as I grew up. The sleepovers and inside jokes are all things that I cherish. Thanks for being the most genuine and unique person that I know and love! 💜 I smile, cry, and laugh over all of my memories. But, I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world because I knew the most amazing and genuine human to grace the earth!
