No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

From Timmy's Auntie Kerry on his anniversary

Do You Remember Me?

I can't believe after all this time, I can't get over you,
I guess a love like ours is one of a kind, a love that is true.
It's been nine years since you left me to go to God & heaven's immensity,
Do you still remember me?

It's like a bad dream that plays over and over in my head,
Of things I wish I'd done or words I would have said.
There's not a day that goes by that I don't think of you,
Even after all this time, what am I going to do?

Maybe this is the way mommies are supposed to feel,
Perhaps our wounds are never intended to heal.
If I could ask but one question why,
How is it God could need you more than I?

Kim...it is easy for the rest of us to forget your loss...but the reminder is a blessing to hold one another up in prayers and thankgiving every day. The Mother's Day before Timmy left us, I was in Dillard's and ran into Timmy (with Roger) picking out your Mother's Day present. Timmy was so cute and so serious about finding the PERFECT thing to give his "Mommy". I hold that picture in my mind and send it on to you.... :)

Hi Linda H.!

I am so very thankful for you sharing this memory with me. It warmed me from head to toe! That boy was one serious shopped, I will have to share more about that with you. That's the way I want to think about him, not as an 18 year old boy/man. Always a five year old to me.

Thank you again for your comment!

Hugs,

Kim
