Memories of Momas

I may not have been there in body last night...

But I was there in spirit, dad.

I'm sure you've read a lot of the diaries from my pals at the bridge about how we love to watch our people. It's one of our favorite pass times.

I always watch the Husker games with you, and last night was no exception. I put on my Husker collar, grabbed some snacks (a bully stick, some smoked hooves! YUM!) and I sat down to watch you, and the game.

It sure didn't start out so hot, but wow, what a finish!

I know you missed me really bad last night... How much you wanted to celebrate the TOUCH DOWNS with me, and maybe play a game of football fetch in the back yard if the rain let up long enough. Someday, years and years from now, we will. Until then, I'll always be there in spirit.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention... You don't still think it's a coincidence that Atley's lucky Husker sweater is a hand me down from me, do you dad??? ;-)

Love,

You boy, Momas.

From Dad

From the moment we bonded over that football you found in my closet, you were my prince. We helped each other grow, and made each other better. I loved every second I had with you, and wish there would've been many, many more. It's been a year since you went to the bridge to wait for us. I know you and Winston are having a high old time, making new friends, and watching over us. You were my angel when you were here, and you're my angel now.

Nothing I type here will do justice to your memory. Just know that I miss you, and I always will. I love you, and I always will.

Love, Dad.

From Mom

I've tried off and on all day to write somthing about this day. It's hard realizing it's been a whole year that you crossed the bridge. Your passing came to quickly, you were only 10. As I sit here and fight back the tears, there is so much I want to say but can't bring forward. So, I'll just say that I love you, I miss you, and you are thought of each day. Sissy Bailey still misses her Brother, and Sophie is doing well, thanks to your kindness. So, with that, I'll leave this note, and in time write more of my memories. For now, you were gone too soon, I hope and pray when you left this world you left it happy and in no pain, and knowing how much you are loved.

I miss you.

Mom
