It seems like only yesterday
that you were the little boy who
loved to learn new things~
the curious child who
captured so much of my attention.
You needed me so much then...
and you grew so close to my heart.
But as time went on, you grew more
independent and more confident~
and I watched with mixed feelings
of pride in your accomplishments
and uncertainty of how the future
would change our relationship.

Mom, I am really missing you!
I just miss picking up the phone and chatting about nothing but yet everything.
It is now soon to be July and I remember you saying that you were considering moving here....
Instead you went to the Penthouse, way up high with the streets of gold.

The past few days we have had scattered thundershowers, some with flashes of lightning and big thunder boomers!
I told Madison...

Madison's Recital 6/09/07
Well today was Madison's recital and she did a fantastic job doing all of her dances: She was a Sheep in the Ballet production of Beauty & The Beast. Her class also danced to Chantilly Lace by the "Big Bopper" and Knock Three Times by Tony Orlando.
I know you had the best seat in the house Mom.
I know you had a smile on your face as I know you would have been so proud of her.
We miss...

It's been 2 months since you got your wings
Mom, it seems almost impossible in a way that you have been gone for 2 months already.
I look for signs of you everywhere.
One day we were coming home from church on a Weds evening and noticed the beautiful sunset and I mentioned it to Madison.
She then quickly replied " I bet Grandma helped Jesus paint that pretty sunset"
I don't know if she knew you loved...

Well...
Well, I somehow managed to get through Mother's Day and then only 2 days later was your birthday you would have been 64 yes old.
As summer approaches I remember our conversations of you considering moving down here with me, Russ, Zach and Madison. We were quite excited at that possibility!

I miss you mom, it often seems unreal that you are really gone. I guess because I was so far away in KY. I miss calling...
