Two Years, Seven Months

Though of Jason a lot more this month as we celebrated Corey & Kim's wedding. Corey had a special "Ocho Uno" jersey made up that we sat on a chair at the wedding and reception. We toasted to Jas, had a moment of silence and talked of him often. Love and miss you brother. Go Blue!!

Two Years, Six Months

Two and a half years of pure misery. Baseball season is in full swing and I often think of how we all use to play nonstop in the yard. From dusk to dawn, we were playing ball somewhere. Those were some of the best days and I will cherish them forever. Love and miss you more than ever. Go Blue!!

Two Years, Five Months

Time flies by so fast, it is just so hard to believe that it has been this long when it seems just like yesterday. We are still trying so hard and will never give up. Love and miss you bro! Go Blue!!

Doesn't get any easier

Almost 2 1/2 years have gone by and I still constantly think of Jason. I miss him so much. What I wouldn't give for one more minute with him. I have so much to tell him that a minute wouldn't be long enough, but I would tell him how much I love him and that I am glad to have had such a great little brother. I'd hug him and never let him go. Miss and love you brother more than ever. Go Blue!

Two Years, Four Months

I know I say this over and over, but it still remains true. I just can't believe Jason is gone. I still think of him constantly, wanting to reach out and give him a call or send him an email as we often did. The emotions are always one extreme or the other, I'm either crying or laughing. Every family birthday party and get together, I look up to the sky at some point and tell him that I know he is there with us. It just isn't fair that you were wrongfully taken away from all of our lives. Love and miss you little brother. Go Blue!

I Can Only Imagine

Heard this song today and of course it reminded me of Jason up in Heaven. What a great song, really makes you stop and think. Love and miss you brother.



I Can Only Imagine – Mercy Me

I can only imagine what it will be like, when I walk by your side…
I can only imagine, what my eyes will see, when Your face is before me.
I can only imagine.
Surrounded by your glory, what will my heart feel?
Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of you, be still?
Will I stand in your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing ‘Hallelujah!’? Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine! Yeah, I can only imagine!

I can only imagine, when that day comes, when I find myself standing in the Sun.
I can only imagine, when all I will do, is forever, forever worship you!

Oh, surrounded by Your Glory, what will my heart feel?

Will I dance for you, Jesus? Or in awe of you, be still?
Will I stand in your presence, or to my knees will I fall?
Will I sing ‘Hallelujah!’? Will I be able to speak at all?
I can only imagine! Yeah! I can only imagine!

I can only imagine! Yeah! I can only imagine!!
I can only imagine, when all I do is forever, forever worship you!
I can only imagine.
