Cemetery

[Diana Ferree]

Hi everyone,

It is so hard to believe that it has already been six months since Brian has left us. I miss him so much. I think about him every day. And I go to the cemetery about 3-5 times a week. For some reason the last few weeks have been the hardest for me, I don't know why but it is really finally sinking in that he is gone. I don't think that I really believed that he was gone, until his marker was placed at the cemetery. And I just lost it when I saw it there.
For those of you that don't know it. his marker is there and it is absolutely beautiful. thank you so much Cheri, Jaime, Jenny, Steve, Tim and Effie, you all done a wonderful job picking it out. He would be very proud as Dad and I are. So anyone who hasn't been out there you should go out and see it. Again, I want to thank everyone for their love and support during our loss.

May god bless you all!!

Everyone,

Well, 12 months later... how is everyone doing? I've been waiting for today (as a milestone) to see if things were "feeling" any different. While it is true Brian as been away, it is funny, but I still think of only him in many "friend type" situations. What this tells me is that Brian was really unique and not able to be replaced... even one year later. Perhaps it is a gap that I choose not to fill... that is for my heart to decide. Just the other day I needed to have a really good chat with Brian (which I still had, just not on the phone...). It wasn't exacty like the old days, but somehow I knew the answers Brian would have given me... and that gave me what I was looking for.

Anyhow, I hope everyone hangs in there!

I ALSO CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT IT HAS BEEN A YEAR. I SAT OUTSIDE THURSDAY NIGHT STARTED THINKING THAT LAST YEAR AT THAT TIME WE WERE ALL IN THE HOSPITAL.. I ALSO SIT AND TALK TO BRIAN FROM TIME TO TIME OR THINK OF WHAT HE WOULD SAY IN CERTAIN SITUATION HOW HE WOULD REACT TO THINGS THAT I HAVE DONE OR HOW HE WOULD BE HAPPY FOR ME IN THE THINGS I HAVE ACCOMPLISHED. I LAID IN BED YESTERDAY AND JUST HELD ONTO THE CANDLE THAT WE RECIEVED ON THE DAY OF HIS FUNERAL. I CRIED. I ALWAYS WANT TO CALL HIM WHEN I START FEELING SAD BUT OF COURSE I CAN'T. I STILL LISTEN TO HIS VOICE MAIL AND I COME ONTO THE SITE DAILY HOPING TO HEAR FROM ANYONE. GRANTED THAT TODAY IS ONE OF THE HARDEST DAYS BUT THEN AGAIN IT IS ONE OF THE MOST MEMORABLE FOR YOU THINK BACK ON THE TIMES YOU SHARED. HOW YOU MISS HIM IN SO MANY WAYS.. AND HOW THE THINGS HE HAD DONE WILL MAKE AN IMPACT ON THE REST OF MY LIFE.

Who would have ever believed that a year is already here. Brian has been on my mind very much the last week. He done amazing things for all of us before that day God took him home. He brought his family very close. He left very good friends with the confidence that they could accomplish whatever they set out to do as long as there faith in God was strong, whether it was a small task or a big one. He made us all stronger in so many ways. We all have him to thank for a lot of decisions that we have made in our lives. He was such a wonderful person in so many ways, always looking out for the ones that he loved. Even though he is gone in body, he will always be here in, our hearts. I hope that everyone has had a good year. Because he would not want us to be wondering what if? You know that he is smiling down on all of us from some wonderful place and waiting patiently for us to join him in the future. So, smile and be happy, for that is what Brian would want for all of us.

God Bless all of you!

I think Brian has been on all our minds more in the past month. I think of him often and it still seems unreal. He was a courageous soul and a model for all the rest of us.
I am so thankful that Brian believed in God and I belive had accepted him as his saviour. So, many go their whole lives without God. I am sure he gave Brian the strength he had to be strong for everyone else. Brian is at peace, healthly and happy now. We can continue to look forward to seeing him again.

God bless and comfort all of you during this difficult time.

Love, Aunt Janet
