Those we love remain with us
for love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade
because a loved one's gone...
Those we love can never be
more than a thought apart,
For as long as there is memory,
they'll live on in the heart.
We can't believe it's been a year since you left us. We love you and miss you more than anyone could ever imagine. Our hearts are still broken and tears still come often but we know you and Grandpa are looking down on us everyday. It's been hard lately, I just want to talk to you. You always understood some of my struggles and you were always there to give advice. Today Willie went to the vet to get a check-up and to be groomed because we know that would make you happy; you both spoiled him so much:) I am making roast, mashed potatoes, rolls, salad and corn on the cob for dinner tonight because that was a meal you always made so wonderfully and we enjoyed so many times with you. My mom is bringing an apple pie for dessert and although she swears she can't make the crust like you taught her, I'm sure it will be delicious. Know that we are thinking of you today, just as we do everyday. We love you.
My little artist Madi painted her pumpkin complete with a picture of Ga, her cat and Willie-not a good picture but I didn't want to expose the poor thing too much. We opted to save their shirts by taking them off before we started; as you will see from the next picture this proved to be a good decision. 
Case in point, Grace. More paint on her body than on the pumpkin and apparently she likes green.

No, you are not seeing things. Yes, this is my van, and yes, it is the ONLY car in the Chuck E Cheese parking lot. I had to take a picture knowing that it may never happen again.
