View all 159 ReflectionsTooday is a day that our lives were shattered and forever changed. The tie that binded my little family was cut and taken from us in an instant. I remember every little thing about you from the day you were born and counting all 10 fingers and 10 toes to the last day I saw you rushing to mow the yard before you started rotation on Friday the 28th. The same thing I've seen you do many times and I always pulled in that drive but this time I didn't. My heart aches for that one last time to say "be careful and I love you" because tomorrow never came. My first love, first born head strong, tenacious, tender-hearted son was gone. I pray for peace for Tate and Jaxson for they both lost their best friend, secret keeper, deerslaying, mud‐digging, Brother, Daddy and HERO
