my dearest jim
it has been almost a month since you left me and although they say it will get easier it is not and they are wrong it never will. you were my life and now i am so lost without you, words cannot express the pain my heart feels. i miss you so much. thank you for being the best thing in my life and for being the best dad in the world to our girls. they truly miss you as much as i do. i am truly grateful god brought you into my life when i was 17 because from that day forward i truly know what it felt like to be loved unconditionally. i miss you jim!
NO WORDS I WRITE CAN EVER SAY HOW MUCH I MISS YOU EVERYDAY. AS TIME GOES BY THE LONLINESS GROWS AND HOW I MISS YOU NOBODY KNOWS.
I THINK OF YOU IN SILENCE – I OFTEN SPEAK YOUR NAME. BUT ALL I HAVE ARE MEMORIES AND PHOTOS IN A FRAME.
NO ONE KNOWS MY SORROW- NOONE SEES ME WEEP, BUT THE LOVE I HAVE FOR YOU IS IN MY HEART TO KEEP. I’VE NEVER STOPPED LOVING YOU AND I’M SURE I NEVER WILL, DEEP INSIDE MY HEART YOU ARE WITH ME STILL. HEARTACHES IN THIS WORLD ARE MANY BUT MINE IS WORSE THAN ANY. MY HEART STILL ACHES- I MISS YOU AND I NEED YOU SO. THERE IS A PLACE IN MY HEART THAT NO-ONE WILL EVER FILL I LOVE YOU AND I ALWAYS WILL. TODAY IS MY FIRST BIRTHDAY WITHOUT YOU HERE, AND THE TEARS JUST WONT GO AWAY. I WISH I COULD TALK TO YOU AND HEAR YOU SAY EVERYTHINGS GONNA BE OK. I MISS YOU MORE EVERYDAY.
JIM WAS A VERY CARING AND GOOD PERSON HE IS GREATLY MISSED BY ALL WHO NEW HIM. I KNOW JIM IS AT REST WITH THE ANGELS AND SUFFERS NO MORE
Cheer up Angie he’s in a better place and he wouldn’t want you to be sad.
love you
Angela and girls we are so sorry to hear that jim has gone to be with the lord. just know you are in our thoughts and prayers. if you need anything you know where we are. we love you all. God bless you all . love aunt lois and uncle bobby
jim we are going to be grandparents, sure wish you were here for this. i need ya but most all stacy wishes you were here now but she knows you are watching over her. ki think the reality of you being gone has finally has caught up with her, at first she was mad that you had gone now she is so sad. please help her to be ok from heaven and i will do my part here. i i miss you and love you.
i think this has become my own personal diary to you jim, but writing on here seems to help me. last night jim stacy had a miscarriage, she is devastated, i sure hope if you are watching over us it is now. please ask god to help heal her heart, she is hurting so bad and she is still just a baby to me and it kills me to see her so upset, sometimes i hate having to be the strong one, taking care of everything noone sees that i feel like im dying inside. i i sometimes wonder how i make it through the day but then i remember the sound of your voice and just imagine you saying i love u angie, its always been just you and me and we always get through things together just like you did when you were here. i love ya jim and i miss ya and i sure as hell wish u were here.
well its me again. its still not gettin any easier, i never thought about what it would be like to not talk to you anymore, let me just tell you it is devastating, i often find myself thinking u will be waiting at home when i get off work- but ur not and its just a lonely miserable night every night. friends and family have been a big support and alot of help – but they just cant compare to you- nobody can. you were a part of my life that i just didnt want to be over. i miss you honey. the girls are good they are growing up so much. you would be proud of them. i love you jim thank you for all the wonderful memories the girls and i have – you truly were the best part of our lives. i will talk to you again soon. god bless you.
well it has been a little while since i wrote to you, but that doesnt mean you werent in my thoughts daily. i’ll probaly just write to ya about the important things that happen that you should be here to share with us.stacy got her very own apartment yesterday. she is moving in this weekend. you would be so very proud of her, i know i am. who would have thought our little baby would be 19 and own her own. you and i taught her well and she sure remembers alot of the lessons you instilled on her. shes already yelling turn the lights off i have to pay for that now. isnt that so funny! we are going shopping for furiniture this weekend and in that aspect she is like me wanting expensive and nice things that she cant really afford right now. she has a good job and is working everyday. you did a great job raising her right jim, and i know she will turn out to be the wonderlady that you hoped she would be. she will make you proud. we love you and miss you.
Good morning. Today is Stacy’s 19th birthday. she thinks im not doing a party for her but i am it’s just a surprise. wish ya was here cause its not the same without you. i just cant seem to accept the fact your not here with me. everybody says it will get easier everyday, well their all damn liars cause it isnt easier and it wont get that way. but thats ok. hope your looking down on stacy today and you are proud of her. i wll let her know everyday how proud you would have been of her. got a busy day at work today so i will write again soon. i love ya and miss ya so much.
well jim you always said chelsey would be the athletic one of the bunch. she has joined cheerleading. cheering for the pinellas park t-birds and she is good jim. the coaches are real happy with her. and she is so excited about being on the team. brittany is getting ready to sign up for softball, she is excited about doing that. she said she wanted no part of the cheerleading, she would rather play ball so thats what we are gonna do. i think i have stacy talked into signing up for some college classes at night since she has a full time job. she is still doing good in her apartment. she still needs to work on the driving cause she is not good at it and lords knows i dont have the patience to get in the car with her driving, that was your department. gary is taking her out quite a bit to drive and trying to help her. she said the other day she wished you were here cause you didnt care if she drove bad you would still ride with her. ha ha. well thats it for now will write again soon. you are in our thoughts every waking moment of the day and we truly miss you and are eternaly grateful that we had you in our lives. love your family.
good morning jim. i find myself realizing more everyday how hard it is with you gone. school has started back and it is quite hectic. brittany has fresman orientation tonight, can u believe it another one in high school already. and chelsey started middle school. they seem to be liking it so far although i think they miss the pancakes and sausage for breakfast that you used to make for them just about everyday. stacy is doing great in her own place, she is working everyday. now if i could get her to enroll in some college courses i would be happy. i think i have almost got her talked into goin at night. help me out with that one will ya please? i’m thinking of leaving the house jim, i just cant bear to stay there. it has too many memories, all good memories, but i cant get out of the depression i am in living there. it is way too heartbreaking and i feel like i am dying at times. i hope you wont be disappointed if i decide to let that part of our life go, just know it is too painful for me to be there, but i will not forget what wonderful times we had there and all the fun we shared there, and even the bad times too, because looking back even the bad times were good. i love ya and my heart aches for you everyday. i miss ya jim.
well jim today is 111109 it has been almost a year since you were taken from us. it has been a rough year to say the least. i have been trying to stay busy so the pain is not overwhelming. chelsey started doing cheerleading you would be so proud and just like you said she would be she is outstanding at it. they have had 2 competitions in the past couple of months the got 4th and 2nd place. she is loving it. brittany got her lerners permit and is wishing you were here to help her drive cause as you know i dont have the patience for it, and now i have a 5 speed and she said she needs a prndle car (park, reverse, drive , neutral and low) isnt that so funny!her and chelsey are both doing good in school, hope that you are proud of them. stacy is turning out to be a very responsible young adult jim, you did a great job at teaching her some great morals and values. she is putting them to good use. she says she dreams about you every night and she feels that you are with her but it does not scare her, just makes her feel like your right there with her in all she does. we are still sad you are not here but know that you are in a better place. you are in our thoughts and heart daily. love you and miss u.
well the girls are on their way home from north carolina, shawn took them on vacations there to see snow, and boy did they have a great time. they have called everyday that they have been gone to tell me about their adventures. they got alot of snow there about 19inches, so you know they are having a blast. me and stacy didnt go we had to work, but maybe next time. she is doing great , except you would not like her boyfriend you would think he is a lazy ass just like i do. maybe she will the see she is better off without him soon. tomorrow is new years eve, hard to believe another whole year has gone by without you here. and no it is not getting easier. you were the one who loved me the most, and that is just hard to let go of, so i choose to hang onto that, no matter how much heartache it gives me. i better get some work done now.i love you and miss you.
today is my 40th birthday, and you are in my thoughts today as you are everyday. no-one cooked me breakfast today, that was always what you did. the girls made cake and dinner last nite at lisa’s but it’s not the same without you here. i miss ya everyday but birthdays and holidays are the most difficult times, because you made them fun. i have got to get some work done in my office today. so i write on here more later. i love you jim.
I know its been a while since i wrote, this has really become my own personal diary. Things are ok. Brittany is giving me a little bit of trouble, but nothing i cant handle, i’m hoping its just a phase. She is sometimes very angry, and i cant figure out why. But she is smart and in time see what is the right way to act. as for chelsey you know she is just like always the most loving and caring child ever. she worries about everything. brittany found out she was allergic to cats and now sad cause she has to get rid of hers. Stacy is still working everyday, sometimes on the weekend with lisa too. Not much say about her except so extremely proud of her. As time goes by she is getting more respectful and back to the loving daughter that i remember when she was little. I have really missed that. But things are looking up. I can never write on here without crying, so the tears are starting to come so i will write more later. wee all miss you and love you.
Good morning, i havent wrote in a while. So i thought I would catch up on some things.All of the girls are wonderful. They get smarter, wiser and prettier everyday, you would be so proud. I found out that I have a tumor on my brain, I try to not let the girls see that I am worried about it, because it only would make them worry more. I will be going to the neurosurgeon next week to learn more about this. I am pretty scared. Sure wish you were here, but I know that in a way you are. I hope this turns out to be nothing serious, cause I dont think the girls could take much more heartache after all that they have been through. I will say a prayer and hope that everything is gonna be all right, I have to be strong for the girls, but sometimes I feel so helpless and weak and you know weak was never a feeling I ever had, nor helpless. I miss you more than ever and I sure wish you were here to comfort me, cause you are the only one who ever just loved me for me unconditionally. I love you and I miss you, I will write more often as it makes me feel better talking to you, some people would probaly think I am crazy, but thats ok , they wouldnt understand. I love you!
Well it has been awhile since I have wrote to ya, sorry about that but as you know I talk to ya everyday. Just been trying to keep things afloat, but it is difficult at times. The girls are doing great. They are growing up too fast. Keith has been at the house for a while now, and Im sure glad, he has been a big help to me and the girls. I am thankful to have him back in my life. I have been so lonely since you passed away. To spend everyday with you and then you not be there has about killed me. Just like in our favorite song–my life has gone to hell! Its almost Christmas, and I hate it! Its just not the same without you here. I miss ya so much Jim! Cant wait to see you again. In the meantime could ya take away some of this pain in my heart. Love you will talk to ya soon.
Wow.It’s been almost a year since I wrote to ya. This may take a few entries to catch ya up on. Ok so my tumor is still there, but good news not cancer yet. They will recheck in 9 months to see if its grown and decide on surgery. The girls are getting so grown up..21,17 and 14 now. Brittany got her drivers license, Chelsey is on the cheer squad just like you always thought she would be. And a couple of weeks ago we found out Stacy is having twins! Can you believe it? Iam excited and scared all at the same time. Please send some more help and patience my way if ya can.And please let Stacy and these babies be healthy. Please dont let God break her heart again. Britt got a job at an Ice Cream shop..I think she gets that love of ice cream from you..hehehe..and she does an internship at a bakery, boy wouldnt you be happy with all the stuff she brings home from work! Chelsey is doing so well in school, honor roll all the time. Iam struggling with tryin to keep everything together for them and boy they are really testing my patience alot. I pray they learn to respect me more and realize I love them more than life itself. Always have. Maybe you could put some more compassion and love in their hearts for me..I will go for now, I promise it will not be long before my next letter to you. Its been 3 years this month you were taken from us, and it still hurts like it was yesterday. The pain doesnt get easier and the tears dont stop flowing. There is a hole in my heart that will never heal. I love you and I miss you terribly Jim!
