It broke my heart to see you go but you are in mythoughts on a daily basis,everyone tells me the hurt will go away. I hate to tell them all that is not everyone's case.

RIL 1-08-2019

Tomorrow is 5 years dad. I miss you constantly.  I think  about you everyday.  I  am back in the hospital so here I sit.  Thinking about you and the the time you were in this hospital and us leaving said hospital and all the way out the door you telling them how incompetent they were.  That hasn't changed much.  I am hoping that the doctor that has been coming in every morning stays long enough to discharge me.  So far every day he walks out of my room saying I'll see you tomorrow.  I just want to go home, because my sad tomorrow is not anyone else's business.  I love you dad. I miss you more than anyone will ever know.

Wall wish you were here to celebrate the holidays with us. Holidays have not been the same since you went to your final resting place.But I know in my Heart that you are with the people that meant pre than life itself to you.And that was Grandpa and Grandma and Aunt Sally and Uncle Cecil. I hope you are no longer suffering.I Love You and Miss You greatly..RIP Dad happy holidays I Miss You

I'm missing you so much. As I'm sure you know already Robin passed away and as you already know Sonya was diagnosed with cervical carcinoma on May 9th it has spread to her lymph nodes.  She started her second week of chemotherapy and radiation today.  I am so worried about her and Mama. I can't imagine what is going through either of their minds. What I am certain of is I love them so much. Sonya HAS to be ok. You keep watch over her for me please. 
I love you Shramp. I miss you more than I thought possible. 

Good morning Dad I can't believe that you have been gone so long I love you and miss you hope your birthday was great with grandma,grandpa and the rest of your loved one. RIP DAD I love you and miss you so much

Happy Birthday Dad. I miss you more than I knew was possible.  I've needed you so much recently.  I know that you know Robin is almost gone. She was diagnosed with lung cancer last year and it has since spread to her brain.  I did a video the other day. All of her boys made yesterday.  Sonya was diagnosed with cancer last week. She went and had some testes yesterday.  Hers spread farther than they thought. It is in her lymph nodes now. She goes for a pet scan next week. She is living down in Helena. South of Birmingham.  I am scared for her. Could  definitely had used your shoulder the last couple weeks. I love you.  So much.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD.
  I LOVE YOU SO MUCH.  
I miss you. I still get up from time to time and make you a cup of coffee and talk to you as though you are sitting on the couch . Talking about any and everything.  Arguing about weather or not you are going to come to Guntersville and spend the night at the hotel or waking me up before daylight so we can drive the hour and a half  to the venue where Dona is getting married.  I know I'm not alone in wishing you were here.  Telling Dona she is crazy. 
 Kalee is due to have Austin any day now.  Watch over them. 
                                                  I love you dad.

Dad it’s been two year and a lot has happened! I now have a son and his name is Jacob Charles  he was born on Nov 25th 2020 in literally ten minutes! With no epidural! He weighed 7 pounds 5.9 ounces and was 19 inches long ❤️ Skylee absolutely loves him.

What I wouldn’t give to just pick up the phone and hear your voice ❤️
