Your Memorial - Your Paradise

I miss you. Period. What did you think of the places we spread your ashes? I know you were watching over us. I hope you liked where we decided. We also planted a tree, in your memory, in your favorite place. It's beautiful. There's just 1 thing wrong with it...it's a memorial. I am truly saddened at the realization of all of this. My heart is broken. To think I will never see you again, never see you riding your Jeep in Lake Wales, never see your truck in the Publix parking lot, never see you rolling around on the living room floor with the kids. I'm broken. I sat on the back porch with Mom in Lake Wales and we talked. I'm sad you never got to sit on the back porch. You would LOVE it! I know you're here with us in spirit, but this is just crazy. I hope you are pain free in Heaven. Meanwhile, back here, we miss you like crazy. Your memories are all we have left, so we are memorializing them. I hope the tree grows to be big and beautiful, like your soul. Please send Mom and Dad strength. They need you. PS - thank you for helping with the weather at the kids party yesterday. It was a tough day without you there. They will all be tough days without you there.

Love you forever, Brother. Until we meet again...
