Merry Christmas 2010

It's been a wonderful, exciting day from the moment I woke up! It was a white Christmas and you would have loved it. I awoke laying in bed, wondering if there would be snow outside, yet deep in my heart I KNEW you would bring it and you did. We celebrated X-mas here at home. We got you a candle holder, X-mas candle and poporii dispenser. We even taped a X-mas sticker to your picture. It was an all around amazing and fun filled day and I knew your spirit was here with us every step of the way.

You're still here with us buddy. I feel you in everything I do and everything I go through. True, I miss your phsyical presencee, but knowing and feeling your spirit every step of the way leaves no room for sadness. Glen is more emotional than I am. We both miss you soooo much, yet you're here with us in everything we do and for that I thank you more than you could ever know. My love and heart are with you every day, every hour and every minute. Merry Christmas son!! And thank you so much, from every part of my being for keeping close in my heart, mind and soul. I'll be seeing you soon.

Loving and thanking your always,
Popz

My dearest Korey,

One year ago today you left this world and all the turmoil behind. Theres no doubt in my mind that all of heaven opened their arms and welcomed you home. I recall driving down the road, asking Poppie to watch over you and to protect you (it was also his b-day), little did I know that he was there welcoming you home. How ironic! This past year has been painful, very painful in many ways, but through it all, I always knew that you are still with me. You're spirit has given me so much strength and encouragement. I also know that you've proctected me in many ways as well. I don't mourn you much anymore, for how can you mourn the loss of someone who is still with you? What I can say is that I miss your physical presence. Your cocky smile and attitude, but most of all your loving heart and spirit that has now blessed heaven. You're in my thoughts and prayers, every day and every hour. LIVE in peace and harmony wherever you are, and know that my love is and will be forever with you.

Missing and Loving you always,
Popz

Birthday Party

So I made it through the day and talked to you often. I glanced at my watch at exactly 12:02pm. I thought it was going to be hard. Painful in many ways, but it wasn't. I felt your presence with me all day, and your voice saying "keep going popz, I'm doing great". So when Glen said we should have a cake and party for you, I reluctantly said "ok", knowing that your birth into this world and into my life is indeed one of the greatest reasons to celebrate. So I went to the store, bougght you a candle, a card and a santa hat for you to wear. It was indeed a happy moment, and in my heart I saw you smiling. How short the days are, and shorter the years. I only hope and pray that every parent will truly treasure and value each and every minute they have with their children. My time with you will last a lifetime and beyond.... Popz

Happy Birthday My Nephew

Today is the day that hurts me the most
I look up and see your face along the coast
I miss you dearly
This kills me clearly
You are my nephew
You were my bestfriend
I will never ever forget you
You will remain in my heart till the end
Today is important
Just wanted to let you know
I never forgot you
As I keep continuing to grow
HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOREY
I LOVE YOU ALWAYS!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KOREY

I remember this day like it was yesterday. Watching you emerge into the world brought such a unique and unbelievable joyful feeling to me. You would have been 22 years old today. Although I know you're in a incredibly loving and beautiful place, I wish you were here with me. I know, thats selfish on my part, but my soul cries out for the joy and love you brought me. Whereever you are and whatever you're doing, know that I will never forget how you touched my heart and enriched my life. Today I will light a candle and I pray that somehow, someway you'll see that light and know that you will always shine brightly in my heart. Happy Birthday son. Popz
