This site is dedicated to our daughter who left us to go to heaven on July 16, 2008. She is so missed and will never be forgotten. By coming by to visit us you are remembering a very special angel who has touched so many lives and will never be forgotten.
I sit here in my comfy cozy recliner at about 1am. I sit here thinking about Mari and knowing that when I wake up in the morning it is Mother’s Day. I have dreaded it all week. All it does for me know is remind me that I am a mom without her child on this earth any longer. I feel childless.
I dread going to church tomorrow morning because all they will do there is wish all the mother’s a Happy Mother’s Day. I mean, don’t get me wrong. I think it is an important day. However, . . . → Click Here To Read More: The Tears of Mother’s Day

Keith got home last night after being gone for the last week on a business trip. I really missed him. Our dogs really missed him too. They like to act all goofy and nuts after he has been gone for any length of time. To be honest, they drive us crazy, especially our female boxer. Even though they drive you nuts you love them anyway.
There is only one week (technically 6 days now) till our 17 year anniversary. It’s hard to believe it is already that close. Before you know it, you blink and it will be . . . → Click Here To Read More: He’s back…

Keith leaves on another business trip tomorrow. He will be back on Friday. It’s not too bad. He will leave again a week after he gets back on another one for another week. He seems to usually go for about 2 weeks every month to different places all over the country. I think he likes the scenery but is getting tired of the traveling.
It’s hard to believe he turned 40 today. For almost half of our lives we have been together. When you really start to think about it that is a very long time. Over 95% . . . → Click Here To Read More: Going on Business

Today is Keith’s 40th birthday. He starts a new generation today. The last generation has had some of the biggest bumps and bruises he’s had in his life. Those bumps and bruises have slowly been healing but they will never go away.
We both continue to live our lives on a path neither one could have expected or wanted yet here we both are anyway. I like to tell people, “It is what it is.” What I mean by this is can I do anything about the path that has been laid before me? No I can’t. However, . . . → Click Here To Read More: Keith’s 40th
Today ended up starting as a good day. I felt good about it. I went to work like I normally do. I was putting away my freight and I had these Justin Bieber backpacks I was putting out. As I am putting them out I start to think of my dearest friend Shelly’s daughter Lexi. Shelly tells me how much Lexi loves Justin Bieber.
Then I got to thinking about how Mari would be the same age as Lexi. Not that Mari would have ever gotten into Just Bieber or anything. It’s just the thought that . . . → Click Here To Read More: Justin Bieber

I sit here in our car driving. Today is December 29th. For most people it is just an average day. For some it even brings the special privilege of being their birthday.
This day has always brought about special memories for us. Howeve now it just brings sadness and tears to my eyes.
Today Mari would have turned 11.
I was getting so frustrated with drivers and yelling at them over stupid stuff. Then the tears just started to come down. I had to pull over with the ache that is there in my heart.

I sit here at home recovering for a simple surgery for the last couple of weeks. I am sitting here playing my favorite game on Facebook and I have the TV on in the background. I finished watching this Christmas movie and they announced The Martha Stewart Show was coming on. Of course I have no interest in her show. However, they were saying this 10 year old prodigy was going to be on her show that was found in the show America’s Got Talent. I had never heard of her before but she is known for her . . . → Click Here To Read More: Jackie Evancho
You might be asking, “But why does July suck?” I mean, after all, July has so many good things about it right? Like the 4th of July and celebrating our nation’s birthday. The fireworks you can either do together with family, friends and acquaintances or to go see one of those big fireworks shows that the cities or military installations put on for us. It’s summertime. It’s warm. People are going on vacations. Everyone seems to be having fun (or at least trying to ;;) ). There are places to go and people to see. And . . . → Click Here To Read More: July Sucks!
All I can say is, “Boy what a night last night.” Keith and I typically go to bed, what might seem for most people, rather late. It seems like if we are starting to get ready for bed by 11 o’clock or midnight that it is an early night for us. We both are such night owls as we usually are going to bed around 1 or 2 in the morning and sometimes even later.

It is hard to believe that as I sit here typing this that 6 months have gone by since Mariana passed away.
Sometimes I just sit here and wonder how this could be. I mean a year ago at this time we had just moved into our new home. Keith had finally gotten his orders for the Oak Lawn recruiting station to become a station commander there. We were getting ready to have both Keith’s and Mari’s 8th birthday party together here in the next couple of weeks. She was in her new . . . → Click Here To Read More: 6 months have come and gone

I sit here on our flight from Hawaii back to Chicago. It amazes me how quickly this past week and a half went by. We had Christmas in Hawaii. For the first time in my life I was not excited about the holiday so many people always love and cherish. For me, it is just a reminder of what I am missing and how much I miss her. I sit here on our flight just trying not to cry. The pain is so deep and still so fresh. I know it has been over 5 . . . → Click Here To Read More: Back from Hawaii

I sit on our flight to Hawaii and think about our beloved baby girl Mari who left us in July to go to heaven before her time. I know some people will say that it must have been her time because she is gone. In my heart, and my soul, and my mind it was not yet her time. Her time would have been after daddy and mommy were gone and not a day before.
Daddy and I are going to Hawaii today because of a dear, loving uncle of mine who gave to us . . . → Click Here To Read More: On our way to Hawaii

Everyone talks about how the holidays are so hard that first year. I can honestly say that you just do not even look forward to them what so ever.
Thanksgiving is literally right around the corner; only three days away. When I think of Thanksgiving I always think about how you are supposed to be thankful for what has happened in your life in the last year.
I am sure there are things that I should be thankful for in the last year but they are so overshadowed by the obvious. How can I be . . . → Click Here To Read More: The holidays…
