A Heart Of Gold


Your heart was full of love and kindness and so so precious! A heart trimmed of gold - filled with giving. This world - full of givers and takers and you were always giving of yourself. I miss you so much so that it still hurts today hardly feels like I've healed any at all. I know the pain that your family feels from the loss of you, and the not being able to see their grandbabies at all. Some people think they're in control and boast on what they think has put them in control, when in the end they are far from being in control of the things that they think they own all rights to. There will come a day and a time when all this will change for one doesn't stay in control for ever. We all had a great time this past Saturday at Kim's bridal shower only one person missing Amanda and that was you. I know you were there in spirit though and that helps me to make it through each wonderful event without you there in person. Just missing you terribly and wishing that life in some cases didn't have to be so unfair.

Happy Anniversary In Heaven Amanda!

Shine your light down on Kent on your special day let him know that you're with him and watching over him! Happy Anniversary In Heaven Amanda... I would have been here sooner but you probably know where I was at earlier today and what was taking place. So know that I hadn't forgot about you or your special day. I love and miss you always!

No one home!

I took a drive and ended up at a place you know all to well. Nobody was home! Had you on my mind today as I do most everyday. This old world seems so different now, sometimes I hate changes!

My Friends and New Angels

I posted this back in January

I learned some time back that a dear friend of mine has cancer. He went through the treatments and was on his road to recovery when he learns that his wife now has cancer. She too went through all the treatments and was on her road to recovery when they learn that her cancer has spread to her liver and possibly other organs. It's always hard when just one person has cancer and I know God won't put more on one than they can handle. I have to wonder how often does and why is it that both husband and wife have to have such a illness as these two people have.


They have a daughter 25 years of age, how hard this must be on her as she just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. No time to brag or show off the precious baby as she's busy running back and forth to doctors appointments with both her parents. For all the people that believe in prayer I ask that you pray for this family as they need all our prayers, and please continue to pray for Amanda's three babies also, as they still miss their mother as they always will.


Update on this post.
Another angel gaines their wings, Amanda please greet Susan at the pearly gates.


Well it's been a long rocky road but it has come to an end. Susan was transferred to the hospice house last evening around 5 and passed away tonight aroung 7:50. Her condition decline was much faster than I anticipated but she left us in peace and in no pain. She gave the grandbaby a kiss on the cheek around 8:30 last night... Lied down and never woke again. I'm not sure I've fully grasped the magnitude of the loss but I'll get thru it. Thanks for being there and your kind thoughts. It meant a lot to me. Talk to you soon.

Our Butterfly Angel



I was reminded of our Butterfly Angel this morning as I saw this awesome butterfly just emerged from it's coccon. I quickly ran into the house to get my camera and took this awesome picture that reminded me of you. It stayed on the sidewalk until it was stable enough to fly off. I watched it's every movement until it flew out of site. Thinking of you Amanda on this beautiful day!
