Girls at HollyWild


In this video is Amanda and her three sister Angela, Amy and April. We're on a Safari ride at HollyWild feeding the animals and having a great time. These are some cool times of our many ventures.



Lots of different kinds of animals at HollyWild. If you've never been there, it's a really cool place to go visit. In this video is April, Amy, Amanda and my daughter Kimberly. They're checking out the Pot Bellied Pigs trying to see who can catch one.



In this video is Amanda walking after a goose as Kimberly watches her and the voice of Amanda's sister Amy. The day is quickly coming to an end and another great memory of Amanda to look back on. I wish my new year could be spent recording more of Amanda. Instead I'll spend it searching for more video's of Amanda to upload and share with everyone.

Bringing In The New Year


Amanda,

I lit a christmas candle for you last night as I sat and watched the ball drop. I took a few pics of the candle burning and tried to get a picture of the ball dropping on TV but the ball fell much to fast. Bringing in the new year just isn't the same knowing that your family didn't get to bring it in with you. This new year will be so different in so many ways. My New Year Resolution is to keep your memory alive, stay intouch with your family, and to continue to pray for your baby girls. Missing you dearly with every ounce of my being, Love you lots, and hope that you still hear me when I have my small talks with you and when I look up to the heavens and tell you I love you Miss Amanda with all my heart.

Amanda



This is a short but cute little video of Amanda. I filmed this video and for some strange reason it's as though I don't recall recording it at all. None the less it's always great to look back on pictures and video's. Amanda was 14 years old here fixing to turn 15 the coming month of August. To see more video's of Amanda check out her memorial website at http://amanda-middleton.last-memories.com/

New Years Eve




This new year will be nothing like the years past. I now know that we really don't heal we just cope with the loss of our loved ones. I have tried so many times to try and heal from the pain of losing Amanda and everytime it seems like I have added pain. So now I just cope from one day to the next. I hope this new year will bring happiness, great health and tons of laughter for your girls and your family. Amy (Amanda's sister) has posted that she's pregnant on her myspace page and maybe that's a great sign that everything somehow is going to be ok. Babies are truly a blessing from God and I know this blessing will be so good for Amy and Rossie and everyone around them. It doesn't matter which gender she has so long as it's a healthy baby, but I really hope that she has a little girl and she's a lot like Amanda. God knows us before we're born and I wonder Amanda have you already seen this new baby, do you know it's gender, have you held it in your arms already?


I'm hoping for all good things to come our way this New Year. I hope that you have a helping hand in everything we do and all that we need help with through this new year. You are a blessing to us all, before your death and still yet after your death. You saved a lot of lives with your passing over to the other side, and they will live a much better life in the new years to come. You'll forever be on our minds, live on in our hearts, and will be thought of on a daily basis.
Happy New Year Amanda!
Love you always!
