Miss you TyTy


A Star In My Pocket
Hope draining from my soul
a hole in my heart
This day four years ago
my life fell apart

Singing from my lip
fear eating away at my core
Your lips turned blue
you weren't breathing anymore

Numbness in my skin
tears in my eyes
I laid you down
and said my goodbyes

Misery falling out my pores
denial in my every day
I slowly packed your things
and sadly put them away

Sadness in my soul
smiles on my face
Pictures on the shelves
provide your only trace

A star in my pocket
a hole in my heart
An angel in my ear
only heaven and earth apart

It was only a dream


Last night I looked over at my night stand ... it was you. You were a little taller than the night stand and you were playing with my Strawberry lotion and my candles. I looked again and you said Hi Mommy. You had blond hair and it was floppy just like my brother's eight is enough hair when he was younger. You looked like a young dennis the menace lol you were so cute. You were the age you should be right now. I was half asleep I looked twice you were there I looked again and you were gone. I must of drifted the rest the way off to sleep and then I had a dream about you. You were a baby and me and Dylan, and Brandon rode a bike of all things to Iowa City to see you. We were gonna get to take you home. Ruth was waiting in the lobby to take us up so we could take you home. We talked with Ruth in the main lobby for awhile and then we headed up and then I seen you and you were six you said Hi mommy and I looked over at my night stand and you were there again. I must of woke up and it was like a movie I was convinced I just had a nightmare you had died and when I woke up I would come downstairs and you would be in your room. I ran downstairs and opened what used to be your room and Brandon's red and blue walls hit me right in the face. I just down and cried. You were really gone. :((
TyTy it hurts so bad this year. So bad. I miss you and your rough feet. Your laugh your smile. Looking at your huge eyes look at all of us as we talked as if you could understand every single thing we said by your reactions. This year is tough TyTy. It's been four years and although I function better when I feel like this it still hurts so bad I don't feel like I can get the will to go through the next few days. I don't know how without crying every minute of the next two days.
I want you to be with me tomorrow.:(( I don't want the memory of you on my last birthday to be deciding to put you on the vent just to see if there was any last thing we could do before we let you go.
I know you're with me in my heart but I guess I'm selfish because I want you in my eye too.
Tyler I miss you so much. I love you so much.
You must be with me really strong right now. I would hold onto you as best as I can but I just wish you were here. The hole is huge right now.
No momma should ever feel this and it makes me sad so many of us do...
I love you TyTy. I miss you:((
I thought you were here... I could see you so clear.

Someone Is Missing At Christmas

Someone Is Missing At Christmas


Someone is missing at Christmas
Someone I loved all my life
Someone I played with and laughed all night long
Someone I think of when I hear that song




Someone is missing at Christmas
Someone has left me alone
Someone so close even though we’re apart
Someone who’d finished the sentence I’d start


Someone whose love is my favorite gift
Someone whose presence is my Christmas wish
Someone who always was here
Someone is missing this year



Candlelit snapshots of Christmases gone by
You in your favorite chair
Memories like snowflakes melt in my eyes
I look and you’re not sitting there




Someone whose love is my favorite gift
Someone whose presence is my Christmas wish
Someone is missing at Christmas
Wait… someone is touching my heart…




Someone has heard me and answered my call
Someone I love is not missing at all
Someone is with me at Christmas Someone’s right here in my heart
Someone I love is with me this Christmas
And will be each Christmas to come!


The picture below is framed on my counter. Every time I made cookies you were there, every time I grabbed my puppy chow, (you loved so much) you were there, every time I fixed an ornament at the counter, you were there, every time I turned on my Grinch soundtrack in the radio, you were there. It was the only way I could feel like I did that night you kids sat at the table with the music playing, me cooking, and you guys just being you. Merry Christmas Tyler. As I sat here crying looking through all these pictures, I realized dang TyTy we had a rough couple years, but we really did make the best of it TyTy. We did. These pictures and memories show it.
Merry Christmas Tyler. Mamma has been walking with you so wrapped up in her heart this year. I love you TyTy.
