22 years

I cannot believe that it has been two years today already. I stopped up to see you today and I hope that you know that I was there. I hope that you are good and with the people that love you up there and who have missed you. Your grandkids are all growing up you know I’m sure you know Jackson is going into second grade Mavericks going into First Scarlett’s going into preschool Ashlyn’s going into kindergarten and then that leaves Lily Ann. Tank keeps looking at the door every once in a while to see where you’re at, but I think he knows when you visit the house cause he stares into the dining room or he stares at the steps when there’s nobody there. I hope that you are proud of us, especially me. I talk to you, I think about you, and I pray for you every day. I love you, Jim with my whole heart, even though it’s broken because you’re not here. Until we meet again, your wife.

19 months

hi honey, where has this time gone that you’ve been gone for 19 months. I’m still not sure on why God had to take you away from me in our family, but obviously he must’ve needed you more than I did or we did. You must be someone really special for him to need you up in heaven . The boys they’re managing how they feel and what has happened. Your grandchildren, they are growing up so fast. Me, I miss you every day and I talk to you every day. I miss you with my whole broken heart. We were supposed to grow old together. But I know you would want me to keep on going, putting 1 foot in front of the other. I will tell you this I’m trying. I love you and I will see you on the other side.

missing you

Today, as I noticed that the leaves are turning or have turned and mostly fell on the ground. Hunting season is right around the corner. Your boys had put your hunting shed in Bedford, PA. Your grandson Jackson is the first one to go in there and hunt this year with his father your son Jeffrey. I hope and pray that you continue to watch over your grandbabies as they get older and go through life with you as their guardian angel. This life here on earth is not easy but then again nothing is ever easy. I think of you every day, I pray for you every day. I miss you with my whole broken heart.

My Love, my husband, my best friend

To you, my love, I miss you every single day, every single minute. There’s not a day that goes by that I do not think of you and wish you were still here with me, but God had different plans for you. I miss our little talks, a little arguments or make ups everything about you. This coming Thursday is gonna be so hard for me for it will be a year. Please be by my side to help me get through it. In August, we would’ve been married 32 years together for 38 years. please continue to watch over our grandbabies and our boys because they need it the most right now.
