Up early today, just thinking about you. The days seem to be moving really fast towards February 9th. All the hype of the Superbowl reminds me that you couldn't wait till it came here cause you knew you'd possibly could be there with the dogs. You were so excited. Last year you invited everyone over to watch it at our house. It was like you were driven to have everyone here. For most of my family, that was the last time they saw you. Everything you did during the last weeks before your death seem to have led up to it...taking the kids to church that Sunday before, while I worked, and telling me it was the best homily you had ever heard...heading up the detail of George W's visit to the airport the day before....coming home excited about what that day meant to you...talking and visiting with me and my sisters while we colored each others hair the night before....having had the most peaceful morning that we had ever had with the three kids the day you died....you trying to grab me at the door telling me the kids wouldn't see...you leaving laughing and smiling at me...the memories are so vivid, almost like they just happened. I can't believe it's almost a year....I'm missing you baby and loving you, boo.

Denise,
You and the kids are in my heart as the days approach the one year mark of your loss of Mike. I should not call it a loss for the incredible love the two of you shared never dies. I think of your family so very often and know how proud you must feel everyday of the amazing person Michael was to all who's lives he touched. I feel blessed to have known him as well as you.
God bless.

11 months today...I had 2 really great dreams with you in them last night. In one of them you were just staring at me with your straight face and I made a goofy face at you and had started you laughing. I literally woke up smiling. I'll always wish that you could have stayed with us but the memories I have are truly a gift. I'll be thinking of you, remembering and talking about you all day today. I love you, boo.

When I Get Where I'm Going
Sung by Brad Paisley and Dolly Parton

When I get where I'm going
On the far side of the sky
The first thing that I'm gonna do
is spread my wings and fly

I'm gonna land beside a lion
and run my fingers through his mane
Or I might find out what it's like
To ride a drop of rain

Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will shed the sins and struggles
I have carried all these years
And I'll leave my heart wide open
I will love and have no fear
Yeah when I get where I'm going
Don't cry for me down here

I'm gonna walk with my grandaddy
And he'll match me step for step
And I'll tell him how I missed him
Every minute since he left
Then I'll hug his neck

So much pain and so much darkness
In this world we stumble through
All these questions I can't answer
So much work to do

But when I get where I'm going
And I see my maker's face
I'll stand forever in the light
Of his amazing grace
Yeah when I get where I'm going
There'll be only happy tears
I will love and have no fear
When I get where I'm going
Yeah when I get where I'm going

Denise, Kelsey, Josh and Mark-- You are always in our thoughts and prayers. You are an inspiration to us. May God continue to comfort you.
