Tyme sorry to hear it. But she is in a much better place.

Thanks,Ryan. I guess my plans for visiting the old place had me thinking so much of her today.

I feel your pain man. and I'm sorry for your loss.
I felt the heavy loss of my Dad on Fathers day, we didn't lose him on that day just felt the desire to see him and talk with him. I guess I missed him alot since I had been using alot of his tools fixing my broken stuff around the house and that was his thing. At one point I thought.....man I'm just like my dad!! If it's broke let's fix it.... Those old farm boys were brought up that way.

Yeah,Don, you were sure fixing some washers and such recently. You're father must have taught you good.

Oh, man! That really touched me deeply and I am so sorry your mother is no longer with you.

My mother passed away 4-1/2 years ago and occasionally i will take out another box of her personal items that I haven't seen since we packed them away after her death. I went through one last week and found her well worn Bible. As I looked through the pages, I found a love letter she had written to my dad about a week after he died. I could just feel her pain and sadness as I read it. Then I found another one written 19 days later when my little adopted sister and brother were kidnapped.

I live at the old home place but it's just not the same. Time had taken its toll on the old house and it had to be torn down and replaced. It seems as if I will never stop missing our daily phone calls to catch up on the latest news, to ask for a recipe, or to say, "I just wanted to call and say, I love you."

When I think about almost all my family being dead, I realize that I have more invested in Heaven than I have on earth.

Yep doing that with my Dads boxes of tools or simple things like his knives or guns makes me tear up.
