Hello Son! How was your day? It's so good to hear your voice! Will you and the family be able to stay for long? I hope so I've missed you all so much. Wow Jr is growing up so fast! He's really got your eyes and I can't believe the baby is crawling already, my Lord how time does fly! I bought some steaks for the grill tonight. Tomorrow how does pizza sound? Oh, not for you! Sorry, we thought we'd take the kids and let you take the wife out on the town. We don't get to see them nearly enough and, well I'm sure you two would love some time alone yes? Yes, Caitlyn and her husband will be in sometime this evening. He had to work late. Maybe the 4 of you could do something together tomorrow! She really should get out, she's not going to have that chance for a while once the baby comes. I know! Next Christmas is going to really be something isn't it! With all the little one's running around! :) Oh! I forgot! JT and Mia are coming for New Years! I thought we'd all go to Capt. Jacks for dinner then to the Pier for the festivities. Then I talked to Molly two houses down. As long as one of us can drive them back, she and her best friend will watch the kids after the beach ball drop. They can stay all night if needed and the kids love them.
So what's this big news you've been going on and on about? Why do I have to wait til Cat gets here?! You're really enjoying torturing me aren't you! lol (later) WHAT! The two of you are starting a business together here! Does that mean I'll have all my family together in the same place!? Both my children working together!? When did this happen? Do you need any help getting started? It sounds like you've been planning this for a while? How did you all keep this quiet! I'm so happy! When will all of you actually be moving here? I know it will be successful, when the four of you put your heads together it's always successful...
WHO'S EXPECTING AGAIN!!!???
Dreams..
For the most part, although embellished lol, the above is what and why a "normal" person looks forward to the holidays. Time with their kids, their family and all that comes with that. What I'd give to see his face and hear his voice again. Just to have everyday conversation with him and watch him interact with his sister and close friends. See where life would have taken him. I'd be extremely excited about the Holidays too if they went like the above! Shoot it doesn't have to be a holiday...any old day/weekend...I miss my son. I miss having my family whole. I miss days like today when he'd be in here already with his Colts Jersey on ready for some football...let the SMACK begin...first game-two good friends, opposite sides. In this house though it's chili and the second game that we are most interested in. Others would likely start pouring in to eat and watch with us. Now half of those guys, his football brothers and best friends then don't speak to each other and I barely ever hear from many of them. Many I have not heard from since his passing. Could one young man have such a huge impact on so many lives? And yet so many just forget about him in just a mere three years? Of course I don't expect others to put their lives on hold or to be as crushed as me but it seems as if he's been completely forgotten by 98% of those who he loved completely and gave so freely too. Is this what happens? Is this why we have relationships? And if someone who loved as strongly as Andy can be so quickly left in the past what about the rest of us? Wow...I'll be lucky to have anyone even attend my funeral! They say we live on in the hearts and memories of those who love us. So many times I've asked for those who loved him to share their memories and few if any have spoke up Is this how little our lives mean?
