Reflections for Sergeant Michael Allen Scarbrough
Happy Birthday Mike!
January 2, 2006
Happy Birthday baby. Today you would be 40. I can't help but remember last year on your birthday you kept saying that you couldn't see yourself turning 40. Did you know? Did you feel it? You know I always felt that we wouldn't grow old together but I thought it would be me and not you. Maybe we both had that same feeling and that's why while we were together we had it all and didn't waste time with the little things...I thank God that we truly appreciated each other and felt blessed to be so much in love. I have the best memories of us together and feel comforted that you knew how much I loved you and I knew how much you loved me. Your mom and aunt Anna and me and my family are going to have a little celebration today to honor you and remember you. Just know I'm still loving you, boo.

Happy New Year, baby. We just got home from celebrating it with Jeff, Linda, Cheryl, Theresa and all the kids. I wasn't planning on staying until the new year but time got away from all of us since we were talking and laughing and just having a good time being together. What a wonderful group of friends we have. I pray to God that this year brings more healing, good memories and a better year all together. We continue to think about you and miss you but most of all love you, boo.

We had to put Cinn down yesterday. That was one of the toughest decisions I had to make. We knew when we took her 2 years ago that we probably wouldn't have her long. I know you jokingly told her to go to the light and I always told you she couldn't see the light and she couldn't hear you telling her to go. She'd been going downhill for the past 6 weeks and I prayed we wouldn't lose her before Christmas. That prayer was granted but when we returned from vacation she was really bad. She just couldn't stand up anymore. I called the vets and they told me to bring her in. One good thing, though, is that the kids and I got to say goodbye to her. There were alot of tears and some laughter too. Marky said it was a good thing and a bad thing. He said it was bad because we were losing her but it was good because she wouldn't be in pain anymore and that she would be with all her puppies, Poco his guinea pig and especially you. We talked about how we weren't able to say good-bye to you but we were given that opportunity with Cinn. I think alot of the tears were for you too, baby. Losing her just brought the grief back to them. Marky also wanted her ashes so that we could take them down to North Carolina and bury them with Calvin, her pup. He has such great ideas for coping, thank God. I truly hope that you and she found each other and that you both can be together watching over us. I love you, boo.

Take care

Just got back and couldn't wait to come here to connect with you. We had a great trip...the weather couldn't have been better and geting away from here was a good thing. I made sure I kept up with the kids energy and did all the things you would have done..... like going swimming at 9:00 at night!...like going back into the park even after we had a full day.... just to get a little more fun in before we had to leave. I missed you during all these moments...I missed you while watching all the families there together....I missed sharing the laughter with you...I missed watching you be a kid let loose....but, the kids and I did have a wonderful time and added a new memory....a joyful one...I know you were watching over us. I love you, boo.

Merry Christmas, thinking of you on this day

Merry Christmas big brother.
Thought of you alot today, as in everyday. Layton got up this morning at 2:30'ish and said "Hey Mom and Dad, I'm up" Whoa kinda early huh ?! Needless to say, we told him to go back to bed and wait just a bit longer.. ha ha. I know, I know, You were always up first. You always took great pride in being the first one up on Christmas morning, and then having me or Matt go wake up Mom and Dad. (dirty pool Mike). Anyways, just wanted to drop a note and say Merry Christmas and to tell you that I miss you so much it hurts. I love you Mike.
Love,
Your brother

HAPPY HOLIDAYS
December 25, 2005
Can you believe I'm up before the kids? I remember the last 3 Christmas mornings when the kids got up by 4:00 a.m. and me convincing you if we got up with them then, that we could catch a nap later. Yeah right! They've still got that same energy and enthusiasm. Some days, it takes everything I've got keeping up with them but I'm so thankful that I have them. God truly gifted us with the three of them. Please be with us today and know how much we all miss you and love you. I'll sign off for now since I'm waiting to hear their footsteps any minute ....Merry Christmas, boo.

I've just finished getting the last things under the tree for the kids. Mark wanted the camcorder out so we could film tomorrow morning. The last thing on the tape is from last Christmas. I watch you open gifts and hear your voice and the next thing on the tape will be just me and the kids and our first Christmas without you. How surreal this all feels sometimes. Tomorrow will be busy since we'll leave for out trip early. Please watch over us all. I'll be thinking of you all day, missing you and loving you, boo.
