God gained another angel...

07/17/1952- 01/28/18

It's with a heavy heart I announce that God gained another angel. On Jan 28th, my precious mama gained her wings. My heart is broken. I can't even imagine my life with out her. It was sudden and unexpected. We are all shocked and devastated. Please keep us in your prayers.

I'll See You Again Someday...

In Memory of my lil brother "Bryan".

One year has come and gone.
One year ago our lives were changed forever.

Today there was a candle light gathering
around your cross
and a balloon release in your memory.
RIP Little brother.
We sure do miss you every single day.
You may be gone but you will
never be forgotten...ever.
As long as I'm alive you will
live through me.
I will never let your memory die.
Memories are all we have left now.
The memories of Nanny, Robby, and you
 are our sweetest treasures.

 The only thing that gives me hope is I knowthat I'll see you again some day.   
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,and he will direct thy paths. ~Proverbs 3:5-6

Happy Heavenly Birthday...

I hope your 1st birthday in Heaven

 is the best birthday you've ever had.

Life is for sure not the same here without you.

I miss you.

Thank you for being the kind of Nanny

that left behind only good memories.

Thank you for being so good to me.

I will ALWAYS love you

and I'll never forget you.

Until we meet again.

Love, Sandy

I really don't even know where to start with this post...so it may be scattered.

On April 27th, storms ripped across the state of GA and during those storms we got the call that my younger brother Bryan went home to be with the Lord. It was just his time to go...that's the only way it can be explained.  It's something we will never understand and it's something we will probably never get over.

Today's Monday. When I woke up this morning, I thought to myself, this is the first day of our new way of living. Today, we are suppose to move forward and get back to school, work, and every day life just like everyone around us ,but that's easier said than done. Our world has been rocked and this new way of living hurts....really bad.

However, this hurt is not new to us. We've been down this road before when we lost my brother Robby in 2005. It was devastating, just like this. Robby left a hole in our hearts that we still haven't gotten over and I guess we never will.

I just never imagined something like this would happen and that my parents would have to give up another child. No,not again and not the "baby" of our family. Bryan was still young. He had his whole life before him (we thought). He was laid back and humble... both of my brothers were very laid back, more so than I am.

Bryan, he lived a simple life and it didn't take much to make him happy. You never saw Bryan without a smile on his face. He never said much ,but he always wore that smile that everybody knew him for. He never walked in the room without giving me a hug and saying "Hey Sis" and " love you"...he was just sweet like that. I was blessed to be his sister.

I was for sure Bryan would outlive us all ,because he was in perfect health. He was active & full of life. His life consisted of  fishing, sports, biking, scrapping, and spending time with our family & friends. His dad was his best friend and his life revolved around both of our parents. He still lived at home with them and spent almost every free second with them. So as you can imagine my parents are lost without him.
Watching my parents go through this has been the hardest of it all for me. It's really hard to be around them right now because I just can't stand seeing them hurting and knowing I can't say or do one thing to make it any better. But, It's also hard for me to leave them because I know they need me now more than ever before.
I've been asked several times, "What can I do?", over these last few days and my answer has been the same. There really is nothing anyone can do except keep our family in your prayers. Just knowing that people are thinking of us and praying for us means more than anything.

This song makes me think of the relationship between my mom and Bryan. Mom waited a long time after me to have another baby and when Bryan came along he was just as the song describes "The Baby" of our family.

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,and he will direct thy paths. ~Proverbs 3:5-6

We Thought Of You Today

We thought of you today,

But that is nothing new.

We thought of you yesterday,

and will tomorrow too.

We think of you in silence,

And make no outward show.

For what it meant to loose you,

Only those that love you know.

Remembering you is easy,

We do that everyday.

It's the heartache of loosing you,

That never goes away.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You Will Never Be

 Forgotten.

Suicide is not a joke.

It's one of the most devastating things

 a family can go through.

I pray noone ever has to go through

what our family has been through.

When someone dies in an accident

or from an illness, you can explain that.

But when one dies young from suicide,

it can't be explained.

The pain it leaves behind on the family,

never goes away.

The "why" and "what if"

are with you every day.

If you need help,

Please don't be afraid to ask.

There are people out there that

 do care, and are willing

to help you through this time.

Nothing is worth taking your life for...

NOTHING.

Forever In Our Hearts

Life Is But A Stopping Place Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what's to be,
A resting place along the road,
to sweet eternity.
We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way,
We all were meant to learn some things,
but never meant to stay...
Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some the journey's quicker,
For some the journey's slow.
And when the journey finally ends,
We'll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the lord
~~~~Thank you GeGaw for all you've given us.We miss you & we love you for always.Until we meet again...
Brent, Sandy,and The Kids

A Million times we've needed you,
A million times we've cried.

If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly,
In death ,we love you still.

In our hearts you hold a place,
No one could ever fill. ~~~
