It's almost been five years since I last saw you. Five years since we argued over what to watch on TV, Psych or the Michigan basketball game. Five years since the last thing we talked about was the $17 I owed you. Five years without your jokes, laughter and love. Five years of our nieces getting older and a niece and a nephew have been added to the mix.
Morgan named her son after you...so she's going to need a lot of help if he ends up with your goofy personality. Her husband is just as much of a goober as you were.
I miss you. I will always miss you. I regret leaving that day to go to Nashville. I regret not waking you up to say goodbye. I regret not texting you the picture of the cardboard Willie (from Duck Dynasty) they had at Walmart that morning, because I didn't want to potentially wake you up. I wish I could have told you I loved you one more time...I wish I would have hugged you and given you that $17 I owed you. I wish you weren't gone and that the last 5 years could have been filled with more memories with you...instead they have been filled with memories of missing you. Milestones you've missed out on.
But, thankfully I do have the memories of you. I have videos and pictures of times I will cherish forever. I'll be seeing you kiddo.
Love forever & always,
Kymber <3
"As far as I can see, grief will never truly end. It may become softer over time, more gentle, and some days will feel sharp. But grief will last as long as love does - forever. It's simply the way the absence of your loved one manifests in your heart. A deep longing, accompanied by the deepest love. Some days, the heavy fog may return, and the next day, it may recede, once again. It's all an ebb and flow, a constant dance of sorrow and joy, pain and sweet love." - Scribbles & Crumbs
The Broken Chain
-Author Unknown
We little knew that morning
That God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly
In death we do the same.
It broke our hearts to lose you
You did not go alone
For part of us went with you
The day God called you home
You left us with precious memories
Your love is still our guide
And though we cannot see you
You are always by our side
Our family chain is broken
And nothing seems the same
But as God calls us one by one
The chain will link again.
