Ten Months (09.25.08)

They say memories are golden, well maybe that is true,
We never wanted memories, we only wanted you.
A million times we needed you, a million times we cried.
If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died.
In life we loved you dearly, in death we love you still,
In our hearts you hold a place no one else could ever fill.
If love could build a stairway and heartache build a lane,
We'd walk the path to heaven and bring you back again.
Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.

~ Love and miss you brother! Go Blue!

~ Thought of the day Thought of the day: Jason was not the biggest of kids, but he sure was one of the scrappiest I've ever seen. He loved playing sports, especially baseball. Jason was on several All-Star teams growing up and had many memorable moments, but one that stands out the most to me and my family was one night on a Little League ballfield in Longfellow. Jason was playing for the Reedsville Tigers and they were going up against the best team in the league, who boasted two of the leagues top pitchers, Steve Cavanaugh and Mike Youtzy. When you would see these pitchers on the mound facing opponents, it was like David and Goliath. It was a tough game, but one guy these pitchers did not want to face anymore this night was Jason. On this night Jason blasted two homers and helped pitch the Tigers to victory. We still have the game ball from that night and will cherish it forever.
