Another school year started yesterday for our boys. There are so many things that you have missed since you’ve been gone. Spencer will be graduating elementary school this year and you won’t be there in person to see him. He has grown up so much. Him and Eli fight all the time but also show so much love to eachother also. We all miss you. Eli has also grown up so much and is fully pottied train for daytime and is learning his numbers and letters to get ready for his first year of Elementary school next year. We have went through a full year of holidays and birthdays without you but your presence is still there. Your memories will always be there and we will never forget you. You live through our boys, through looks and attitudes. Spencer himself is a spitting image of you. Spencer always brings up the memories of our vacations with you and has also come to be attached to thinks you enjoyed. We will forever love and miss you❤️
I remember when I figured out that Virginia was known for fireflies, and maybe they won’t get it, but me and Devon do. I remember when I figured out that plastic balls hit with foam swords hurt when they make contact with your skin, and maybe they won’t get it, but me Dylan and Jared certainly do. I remember when I ate some rotten “food” thinking it was going to be okay, and you rubbed my back and slept next to me to make sure I was okay… and maybe they won’t get it, but I certainly do. I was at your beautiful site yesterday, begging for a sign from you. At that moment, I heard a Harley in the background. I remember when those cute little moments of reassurance was enough to gulp down another day, but it’s no longer enough. I’m tired, I’m tired of getting caught up in my movie making mind of memories I can only heavily sigh afterward with and ones we can no longer make because it’s been stolen from us. I remember when I thought life was gum drops and rainbows, thought that I had it rough enough trying to be faithful to a cause that has now challenged and pushed me to the brink. Remember that talk we had at the park before our last ride together? Remember that guy at the wawa when he was endangering our lives and forced us to protect ourselves then I randomly snapped a photo of my blue tongue and you smoking my cigarette? Remember when we were kids who felt so broken and alone and just wanted an escape from reality and couldn’t find one? So we made our own world and ran to it every chance we got? Remember when we were in the stairwell at legoland and you wanted to slam me so bad to see if you could and after 10 minutes of me saying no you just conjured up Dylan energy and slammed me? Remember when I was on the back of your cbr and I wrote on the back of my football helmet [dot] so we could do wheelies around the neighborhood? Remember when you were showing me the horsepower in your subadoobaroo from 7/11 to the trailer and a cop just so happened to be at the church right when you hit the throttle? Remember when I put 87 in your subie? Remember when we shot pool for like 3 hours at q balls and I had one too many jager bombs and ended up paying that guys $100 tab? Remember the last moment we had together in real time when you liked that guy at dickersons only because he showed you a little act of kindness like just by saying he liked your pachita shirt? Or after when you were doing your funny dance moves on the bike and then us going into the park and me drifting in the parks gravel? Remember throwing the frisbee and chopping it up like we only existed on this planet? Remember when the only reason I could tell you that you were an idiot was when you said something like “you know we have always got down like that… right?” I do weird stuff since you’ve been gone now. I really screwed up at your birthday party (but those were some good headstands), I wear hats now, and I can’t go without my hat. Why? I’ve realized life isn’t what I thought it was, and I’m still trying to learn how to be grateful for it. I’m mean to people sometimes now, losing you and watching you drift from this life to the next has given me an incredible back bone. I’m going to get help one day when I find the courage to accept it, it’s just a mother monkey trying to do it when you were my release, my help. Who’s in this world we created together? Well, it’s just me now, but I got an extra hand to show them how we’ve lived.
