Was thinking about the Christmas Santa brought you the pet monster, which we thought you would love because he was so colorful and playful.  Boy was I wrong!  You were scared of him and so scared I had to place him back in the box he came in and place him up in the closet.  A year or 2 later you wanted him, so we got him down from the closet.  I still have a picture of you with him.  Then as the years went on, you were only interested in anything baseball and watches.  So it wasn't hard to buy for you.  We will miss you so much this holiday.  It will be so lonely.  Harlie and Lukas are so excited.  So that's the only incentive any of us have this year.  I have Christmas presents for them from you and will every year.  That was one thing about you...you always bought their presents before you bought anyone else's and you always put so much thought into what you would get them from their UNCLE CHANCE.  Miss you and love you....Mom

 

If Roses grow in Heaven, Lord please pick a bunch for me, 

Place them in my brother's arms and tell him they're from me. 
Tell him we love and miss him, and when he turns to smile,

place a Kiss on his cheek and hold him for a while.
Remembering him is easy, we do it every day,

but there's an ache within our hearts that will never go away.

It snowed here in Houston today! I was remembering and talking about when we were little in the apartments maybe in the late 80's early 90's it snowed and iced here. You and I got all the clothes we had and all the jackets and we went outside....we would run down the grass and jump off the curb to the parking lot and slide across the ice that was fun and you tried to ride your bike across it THAT WAS FUNNY! No matter what you tried that bike was not going to go the way you wanted it to. I am sad you were not here to show the snow to the kids but I am sure you had a hand in it snowing here. THEY LOVED IT! We miss you so much!!

You must be with us! This morning Harlie woke up and told me that she dreamed about you. You two sat on the couch and watched Cars together. I asked her....did you talk to her she said no we just sat there and watched the movie. I found that CRAZY because I also had a dream that you were in last night. I was driving and you were the passanger in the truck Lukas was in the middle of us. I was on the phone talking about a turtle and Lukas was making fun of me and you were over there laughing at us so hard  it was so neat how real it felt. I am glad you visited us last night! Harlie misses you soooo much! Visit us more often if you can.

 

Our thoughts are of you today and how thankful we were to have you in our life for the time that we did, it just was not long enough...but is it ever?  I will give my greatest thanks the day I am able to join you.  I love you, Mom

Been thinking of you a lot lately and just wishing I could pick up the phone and call you, but I can't. You always knew just the right things to say and the right advice to give and I am definitely in desperate need of both. I have been praying to you though and talking to you every night, I hope you can hear me. I still turn to you for almost everything these days. You were someone I could and still depend on! I miss you so much and can't wait til I see you again.
You still owe me that movie date!! Love and miss you and I'll be seeing you :)

We lost you 9 months ago today, on March the 24th and on a Monday evening at 8:30 pm. The loss of you has not lessened, it actually gets harder. But gives me the push I need to make sure you have justice. I miss you terribly and not a minute goes by that you are not in my thoughts. We will miss you for Thanksgiving. I hope you come visit me in my dreams.

I love you, Mom

Thanksgiving is fast approaching and I am so sad that you are not here.  Just still unfathnable.  We are going to try and get by the best way we can.  At first, we were not going to have Thanksgiving and then me, Mimi, PaPa and Amber decided that is not what you have wanted.  So we will go ahead but it will be spent remembering you.  I know if you were still here you would already have the meal planned and you would be anxiously awaiting all the food.  I see you on the couch already taking a nap because you were so full, only to rise later and eat another full meal.  LOL.  I hope you know how much we all miss you and the loss that we feel. Our hearts have been broken beyond repair and your loss has changed us all forever.  It was just not supposed to have happened this way and was not the natural order.  There is not a day that goes by that I don't wish I could trade places with you.  Amber is starting to have a real hard time knowing you are really gone and Harlie and Lukas have lost their biggest allie and oh how you loved them, but they know you did, and Amber will make sure they never forget you.  Harlie misses her Uncle Chance so much.  I developed some old film and in those pictures were some pics of you and Harlie when she was just 2 years old.  As usual, you were holding her and had your usual adoring look for her.  You loved her as much as a father from the day she was born, and she knows that, and the reason...because you showed how much you loved her until the day you died.  That is why she will never ever forget her Uncle Chance, you were a huge part of her life and her yours.  Not many nieces have 25 year old uncles that would spend so much time, but you did.   But you were that way with all the family.  You loved your family and we loved you.  I know there were times you thought otherwise when some of us were just trying to get you to grow up during that 20-23 year old time frame.  We might have gotten frustrated with you, but never did we not love you.  But with the kind heart that you always had and the emotional person that you always were, sometimes you took things harder than they were.  But we loved you always.  Then we have watched you flourish over the last few years and you had your life finally planned in a good direction and all you talked about was wanting to get married and have kids of your own...you were going back to college and then you were taken away from those dreams.  Just not fair.  Even that day, an hour before you died, remember the conversation you and I had?  You do and I do....and it just kills me that you were so happy and talking of all your plans and excited and you were so happy to be home, even though you had only been gone a day and a half...that's how you were, never liked to be far from home for long.  Then...the last thing that any of us, including you, could have ever imagined, happened and you were snapped from your future, and our lives.  Not a minute goes by of any day that I don't think of you and miss you.  I love you...Mom
