Almost 2 years

20 years ago

I haven't been here as much as I used to but every once in a while I'll come & see how everyone is doing. It's always sad to see new people...

The last couple weeks have been especially hard for us as it's almost 2 years since Bryce left us (June 10)...It's so hard to believe it was that long ago already.

I've been feeling a little down lately because I feel like I'm forgetting little things about him...Like his contagious laugh..I would give anything to hear it one more time or feel one of his hugs again..

On a more positive note...The twins are about 3 1/2 months old now & growing fast..I talk about Bryce to them all the time..They will grow up knowing all about their big brother, who I'm sure is & always will be watching over them.

Hope everyone is doing well...

Hi Brycesmommy,
It's such a sad date to have to even acknowledge, but I know how you feel. I was the same on my birthday, April 2, since that was the last time I saw Erica alive, and her birthday was May 14, and then her 1 year anniversary is coming up soon, close to Bryce's, June 4th. I will be thinking of you on June 10th. Erica would have been 19 this year. I'm sure she's looking over Bryce, as she always small children. Bryce will always remain alive in your hearts, and I am glad you talk to the twins about him. With twins, I wouldn't expect you to be online a whole lot, but it's good to hear from you, and that the twins are doing well. I know what you mean about forgetting little things, and that worries me. I hate it. But I'll never forget her love, as you will never forget Bryce's. Their footprints are forever on our hearts. Hugs...

My first Monarch in almost 2 years!

It's a male (at least the first one is). I can see those little scent glands. He's so beautiful! I see them sometimes, but not as often as I'd like. Usually I see them in the fall, so they must pass through here on their migration. I've seen them fly over the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway before during the spring and fall.

Hi long-dead city in Italy, If you send me a bill relating to service that you gave me from a month to three months or so ago, I'll probably pay it. If you send me a bill relating to a service that you did for me darn near two years ago - I'm going to be pretty persistent in my request for full information about what that bill covers. And if you get my back up about it - I'll quite likely get *really* persistent about your treating me fairly!! I no get'um de account - you no get'um da money!! If, after a lot of toing-and-froing, without your giving me satisfaction ... ... I'd probably send you a cheque. Unsigned. When you contacted me about the problem ... ... I'd ask you for full particulars. If you didn't provide them - you couldn't cash the cheque. If you try to damage my credit rating - I'll dispute, saying that my records show that I sent you a cheque. If you get testy, I'll probably tell you that I've mislaid the cheque that you sent back for signing. I think that my son may have it in his luggage. He's gone to Australia, India, etc. and I expect him back in ... ... probably somthing like a couple of years. I should be able to send the cheque to you about then. If you contact me to ask me to write a second cheque - I'll tell you that I've already writteen a cheque to cover that bill, and am not in the habit of writing two. It takes a bit of ingenuity, patience - and a bit of humour - to beat them guys at their own game. Good luck - in persisting until you get satisfaction. Why let their inefficiency ... ... and refusal to honour your legitimate request for clarification ... ... possibly cost you money ... ... that you just might not really owe??? Have a great weekend - what's left ot it. ole joyful

BM paint advice/suggestions... please...

I would get the bedding 1st and then pick the paint colors by putting the swatches on the materials and looking at them. If you go the other way and paint the walls you could well "paint yourself into a corner" bacause it can be REALLY hard finding a material that will coordinate. Speaking from experience...Good Luck and welcome back !! Caroline

When Christin first left us, it was hard to live from minute to minute. Now, I can't believe that it's been 8 years. I can understand how you feel. As time goes by, it's frightening to me when I feel that I am slowly forgetting things about her and her life and feeling a distance from her, even though I still love her so very much and miss her also. I guess time numbs us to so many things. It's hard to explain, but those who have gone many years without loved ones, probably know what I mean.
What a blessing for you to have your two little babies. Bryce is definitely looking over them, and always will.
I hope that they will help comfort you on June 10.

So glad you checked in Brycesmommy. Good to hear the babies are doing well. You must be so very busy...very little time for the computer, I'm sure. Take care.

Hi...it's so good to hear from you. Glad to hear the babies are doing so well. I'll be thinking of you June 10; our "heaven date" is June 17, and it will be three years since Dave and Millie died. I'm so glad that your little ones are learning about their precious big brother. We mention Millie often to our granddaughter who's almost 3. She was born 2 weeks before we lost Dave and Millie, and without her, I don't know where we'd be. How blessed you are to have your little ones.

Dear Bryce's Mommy. I am glad to hear from you. I remember your angush and pain. I am glad it has lessened. Today is July 4th, my Father's birthday. He's been in heaven now about 4-5 years. I quietly said "Happy Birthday Daddy" this AM to him. I'm sure my family would not understand. AM

Hi AM..Thanks for the message..I still have moments that are more painful then others (that will never change)..But we have found ways to get through the days while celebrating Bryce's life at the same time. Not a second goes by that he isn't in my mind..I know he's with me in my heart & with our family..I miss him terribly. I hope you have found peace & know your father is with you as well..Take care.
