Like father like daughter...
I let her honor you for life. I know you watch over her everyday now you walk with her as well. 3223 days was not enough time with you. As she looks down she can visibly remember how precious time truly is. You are so dearly missed and always will be loved and remembered! Love Lynn

Happy Heavenly Fathers Day
Its been awhile that I have written. I talk to you daily, sometimes I get a sign and sometimes you keep me wondering. Father's Day is hard for us. Babygirl struggled today, I could see the hurt behind her beautiful blue eyes. She is strong natured like you, that big beautiful heart takes a beating especially on Father's Day. Give my dad a squeeze for me. ❤️ you Bri

Father's Day 2025
Father's Day is one of the toughest days.. Seeing everyone post and my first thought is you should be here. Took some extra time today to look at videos, and some made me cry, and others made me laugh. How lucky she (Brilynn) was to be loved by you. Happy Heavenly Father's Day Brian.. We love and miss you 🌹

Big Snowfall
As I receive pictures today of the snowfall I can only think, you'd have Brilynn out in it making a snowman and taking her somewhere to go sledding ♥️ I will never forget the time we had blizzard like conditions and you were out in your PJs feeding the birds❤️ memories are a beautiful treasure that no one can take away.
Thoughts
I think of you more often then not.. Still alot of why's did this have to happen. And as much as I question, I have to accept Gods plan is not our plan. Started living in the moment not the future, because the only thing we have is the past and today. Love you so very much and always will. Love-Lynn
Thinking of you..
I could allow grief to bury me alive. Just let the loss of you crush what's left of me. But your not a memory, you're a light still shining. Burning bright and something I carry with me.
