I'm struggling. Struggling with so many many things. We're coming so very close to that fateful day when we lost you. I'm dreading ti and wishing so many things were different. Wishing you were here to encourage me and tell me things will be ok. Tell me that you'll help with whatever needs to be done. It feels like the world is crashing down on us as a family. Just this last weekend we had the van break down and now Katie's car needs work done. It feels like we can't catch a break. Stacy Blackstone says its not been friendly fire at us but a full out machine gun fire. Bullets hitting us so fast and quick we can't dodge them. I'm struggling to see God in any of it. In my heart I know He's there - its just Satan trying to discourage me - it just doesn't feel like that in my heart. I've realized through all this I'm a fixer. And this is something I can't fix. I can't fix my broken heart, or Abigail's or Dads. I can't fix the hole you've left in our lives. I guess I've been trying to fix it by myself and I can't. The burden of what I'm carrying is too much and I need to give it to God. Stacy says piece by piece - day by day or moment by moment. Mandisa passed away last week and it's brought up loosing people way too early in life. It reminds me of how unfair it all seems to those left behind, we're just trying to make sense of is but in reality it doesn't make any sense at all. I don't think I paid too much attention to her music but it's very truth telling. I'm listening to He is with you.. some of the lyrics are: He is with you when your faith is dead and you can't even get out of bed Or your husband doesn't kiss you anymore He is with you when your baby's gone And your house is still, and your heart's a stone Crying, God what'd you do that for?? He is with you. So I'll continue to trudge along and keep looking forward to seeing you again and I'll try to keep my focus on God. I miss you my son.. so so much

I've been doing this each month on the 29th as a tribute as time is quickly passing. Some people ask how have we gotten this far in this journey. How can we keep going with such pain and heartache. Most days I don't have an answer. The world keeps turning, life goes on and unfortunately we go with it. We try to make the best of days. We try to move forward. I have lately described grief as a shadow. It's always there... sometimes it's small but other times its huge and overwhelming and it never fully goes away. It's always there - reminding us that you aren't here. We celebrated your Gotcha Day 3/18 without you. It was hard but we tried to find some joy in it and remember the years we were able to celebrate with you. Five Guys doesn't taste quite the same. Oh, how you loved Cheesburgers - no cheese - as we would say. Easter is this weekend and I've been walking past your favorite truffles. I bought you some because if just felt wrong not too. Maybe we'll all enjoy one and think of you. And your 16th bday is Wednesday. The thought of facing it is unimaginable. I wish so many things were different. I wish you were planning on getting your license like your friends or looking forward to Prom - who would you ask? I know Maddie regrets not going to HOCO with you last year. You would have made such a wonderful couple. Your bright smile and laugh is so missed at the house. I even miss your stinky socks and clothes. Sometimes I think you are just sleeping upstairs and that you'll bound down the stairs for breakfast and school. I miss you so much it hurts and a piece of me is missing. Since Feb your headstone was installed. It's as beautiful as those things can be. Such a reminder that this is final. I think you would like it - simple but elegant just like you. You were always the sharp dresser of the family. I'll spend the rest of my life missing you my son. You're the first person I can't wait to be reunited with. With much love - Mom

Oh my sweet sweet Will. Some days are so so tough waking up and realizing you are gone. 9 months ago today we woke up and didn't realize it would be your last. How I wish we could go back to May 28th and just stay there forever. Not a day goes by that I don't wish you were here to love on, hug, kiss, snuggle and eat chocolate with. How I long to hear the basketball on the drive way again and know it's you out there playing and not Isaiah. The boy fun of our house is gone. No more trips to the church rec field. No more stinky uniforms that never get washed. Your dining chair is painfully empty as is your seat in the car. Oh how I wish so many things were different. My heart is broken and I'm not sure it will ever be completely put back together. A piece is missing, the piece we gave you when you entered our lives. Having you was one of the best things that ever happened to me. I just wish we could have held onto you longer. I so wanted to see you get your dream car, a wife and a few crazy kids. Seems like forever but it will be a blink and then eternity in Heaven. I can't wait to see your smile again. I love and miss you so very much my son.

Oh my Willsie Wills. How very much I miss yelling that up the stairs to wake you up each morning. You see it's the little things that are so very hard with loss. Abigail and I went to Costco today and when I saw orange juice it reminded me of that being your favorite breakfast drink. I never buy it anymore because no one else drinks it. And I stood in the aisle at Costco and cried. Cried because of how much my heart breaks that you aren't here anymore. I can't see you, hug you, smell you, kiss you, talk to you, do your laundry, take you to practice or games or take you to your favorite hamburger joint. People say it gets easier, but in reality it doesn't - you just get better and supressing your emotions. Things have been really crazy here at the house - Roxie has been really sick in the hospital for almost a month which meant our Christmas tree has just come down. It was just as hard to take it apart and see all of the ornaments that were for you. There are some really funny ones - Minions and there's even a Jaws one (because you loved sharks so much). We added a bunch of sports ones this year. A basketball, a glove and baseball and a soccer ball. I always said sports was your love language. We're all doing our best to honor you and your memory every day. I know several of your friends that often say how much they miss you. When I see them at church it makes me wish you were right there in the midst of them. Your monument will be up soon at the cemetery. It has a basketball hoop on it. I visit often to make sure you have fresh flowers. One day we'll be reunited again and I count the days my son. I love you forever and always. Mom

Seven months today. Seven months ago since i held your hand or kissed your handsome face. Seven months since you took your last breath here on earth. Still feels just like yesterday and like forever ago as well. Christmas was 4 days ago. We decided to do something different this year and went to Aunt Joni's tiny houses in Keaton Beach. Everyone came, including Poppy, which moved in with us in the beginning of December. You always wanted another boy in the house and now we have one. You would have loved having him here with us. You were so compassionate and caring - you would have taken such good care of Poppy and you two would have become so close. Because he moved in we had to move bedrooms around and Brooke moved upstairs so she could have her own bathroom. We had the difficult decision to paint over your blue and white stipes and take down your Sharknado posters. So so so hard. I couldn't bring myself to do it. It felt like erasing you completely from our home. We got a new tree this year. I also picked up several new sport ornaments that remind me of you. A new basketball one and a glove with a ball. We also went to Glory Days for dinner and while I was watching all the sports on the TV's I was reminded of you and how much you loved sports. I always said Sports was your love language. Each and every day without you is a day closer to being reunited with you. I know you'll be waiting for me at the gate with open arms. I can't wait to see you again. I love you my son.

The holidays are quickly approaching and you aren't here. Thanksgiving was your Dad's birthday this year and that made missing you so much harder. See, you aren't missed on your special days, you are missed every day. EVERY DAY!! I've been playing this Rich Mullins song over and over again and there's a part that says,
If I stand let me stand on the promise
That You will pull me through
And if I can't let me fall on the grace
That first brought me to You
And if i sing let me sing for the joy
That has born in me this songs
And if I weep let it be as a man
Who is longing for his home.
You see with you being gone, Heaven is so much more real to me. i think about how you're up there not dealing with depression, thoughts or even a care of this world. The Lord healed you from the inside out and you aren't looking back wishing you were here with us. Our life is moving forward but with a huge hole in it and that hole can't be fixed this side of Heaven. I won't be the person I was before you left us. But I have that hope.. and for that I am thankful. So I long for Heaven while on this earth and I know you'll be at the gates ready to run into my arms when it's my turn. I love you my son. I miss you and I so wish I could hug and kiss away all your pain. You'll always be my boy and I'll always be your Mom.

4 months.. seems like forever and seems just like yesterday. Oh, how I wish I could hug you, kiss you and hear your voice one more time. The house seems so empty without you, your seat in the van and your dining chair longs for you body to fill it. It’s so difficult to continue on without you. I know we have to continue on with our lives but it’s so hard to do so. Life will never be the same without you, my son. Part of me died with you on the day back in May. Can’t wait to see your handsome face again.

My son.. no words can ever express the deep pain at we are feeling without you here. Your smile, your voice, your daily presence at our house is so deeply missed. Nothing will ever be the same without my Willsie Wills and a piece of my heart has a hole it in that can’t be fixed. I miss you terribly and can’t wait to see you on the other side.

There are many many pictures of you on my phone, but this is one of my favorites. Our little kitty, Fiona loved you so much when you would sleep over at our house, she always seem to find her way to you. I really don’t know where to begin except to say that my life will never be the same without you. You were taken far to soon from us and some days, I’m not sure how to go on. Your mom, dad, and sisters are finding it hard to live without you in the house. I feel so eternally, grateful for all of the time we spent together, working out, eating burgers, listening to music, staying up late and so much more! Thanks for an amazing 15 years Will, I will never ever forget you!
