Missing you... / Mom We went to the cemetery yesterday. I first went to your grave, then to my Mom & Dad's, then to Uncle Buzz's and then to Grandma and Grandpa's. I couldn't help thinking how you are so young and didn't belong there, how you belong with me., doing the things we used to do and with our family. It is so incredibly hard to be without you. Something comes up usually every single day, if not more often, that reminds us all of you. I look at Ariel and I KNOW for a fact how much you would love her and cherish her. I know how proud you would be of Courtney and what an excellent Mother she is. I know you would still be teasing us all about one thing or another. I want you to know that I am working very hard to get healthier. My dream is that one day will be able to talk to other kids, so that their families will not have to go through this excruciating pain and lonliness. Kids do not realize that one senseless move, can cost them their lives. I know for a fact that you were hurrying home to get Wayne's truck here before he found it missing. I also know that you went into our room that night to get his keys so you could take the truck without permission. That's the part I don't understand. You knew if you had waited till the morning that any of us would have taken yo anywhere you wanted. ANYWHERE! Instead, you took the truck, was rushing home and got into a fatal acident. Now, we are left with your memories. I need more than that, Nick. I need YOU! I will always and forever love you and keep your memory alive as long as I live. Happy Memorial Day Son.
Happy Easter! Always in my thoughts! / Eva Bates (ANGEL MOM&FRIEND )
With Love To Dear Nicholas XOXO / Jane Einarson Matthew's Mom (I care/angel Mom friend )
Thinking of you / Melissa Smith
I believe God's promises are true. I believe Heaven is real.
I believe God will see US through. I believe nothing can separate
Us from God's love. I believe God has work for me to do.
"Believing against the grain" means having a survivalist attitude. Not only can WE survive, but out of it we can create something good. We need to cry out to each other for help and cry out, "God help US believe!"
Thinking of you and thanking you for your thoughts and prayers while my hands are recovering. Melissa
Thank you Nick / Mom I truly believe you are watching over us from above, Nick. Justin called tonight and said he was going to pick up an extra day so he could complete the course earlier than anticipated. THEN, he dropped the glorious bomb! He told me he was interested in going to school.We are so unbelievably proud of him! Thank you for your help and guidance. Also, tonight at WW, Wayne was saying what a kick you would get out of me going there because you always like to tease us "big girls". He said you would have a blast teasing me about WW. I would give anything in this world if you were here to tease me. I love & miss you so very much.
We went to the funeral home to see Uncle Buzz tonite Nick. I know you will welcome him to heaven with open arms. We are all going to miss him so much. Justin came in from GA for the funeral. He is going to be a pall bearer. He looks great and he looks healthy! I hope and pray he continues to do well in the program. Everytime I go to a funeral home, it brings back so many memories, memories of you and how you are no longer with us. You can be assured that Mom will never let you leave her heart. You are always with me in spirit, my precious Son. I love you so very much!
Here on earth we are put together in families. Our loved ones become inexpressibly precious to us. We live in intimate associations. One gets so close to mother and father, wife or husband, sons and daughters, that they literally become a part of one's very life. Then comes a day when a strange change comes over one that we love. He is transformed before our very eyes. The light of life goes out for him. He cannot speak to us nor we to him. He is gone and we are left stunned and heartbroken. An emptiness and loneliness comes into our hearts. We brokenheartedly say "That the one whom I loved is dead." It is such a cold, hopeless thing to realize. Then, out of the very depths of our despair, comes that marvelous declaration of our Lord: I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. John 11: 25,26
Then we know! We know we have not lost our loved ones who have died. We have just been separated, and as long as we live there will be an empty place left in our hearts. To some extent, the loneliness will always be there. But when we really know that one is not forever lost, it does seem to take away, a little bit, of the sorrow. There is a vast difference between precious memories, loneliness, the pain of separation, on the one hand, and a sorrow that ruins and blights our lives, on the other hand.
Hope these words are of comfort to you my friends. Please, please know that you are always on my mind and in my heart and prayers. My hands are not better yet, in fact the left one is very numb right now, so it is hard to type. But even though I can't write every day as I did before, I think of you every day. In Christian Love, Melissa
Not now, but in the coming years, it may be in the better land: we'll read the meaning of our tears, and there, some time, we'll understand.
Bless your Angel... / Tina Dore Angel Gene Bungay
