i miss you so much / Mom
4 years ago today, I woke knowing I would be bringing you home only to know you would be leaving me again, this time it would be forever. My heart was heavy then and is also now, I miss you more with each passing day, you are never far from my thought and are always close in my heart. The last few days we had together are burned in my memory, I will never forget how the house was filled with so much love, sometimes I think if not for all those people, I would have never gotten thru it, your friends have been a gift from you that i treasure every day. I will never forget the smile on your face as you realized you were really comming home, when you felt the sun on your face as you left the hospital or the joy in your eyes as daddy placed you in your bed. i love you baby and my heart is broken without you. Close
my words to you / Kory Rhodes (brother)

I WROTE THIS FOR YOU BABY! / Mom (I MISS YOU!! )
MY WONDERFUL SON
You were so brave, you fought so long All you wanted to do was come home. We honored your wish... for one last time. Your friends and family surrounded you.. You slept in your bed; I held you close in my arms. The bonfire was lite, your dad carried you to the backyard and set you in your chair. Your smile was bright as you settled outside Your family and friends gathered round. People came from everywhere, simply Wanting to see that smile and to say goodbye.
Good-bye to a young man, who was admired by all. To a special person who would leave whole no one could ever fill. The night was over; we went to your room I held you in my arms as your friends gathered round. We talked thru the night, your friends and I, You picked at my arm, I held you tight, You once said to me, "Mom, when you hold me, You make everything right." I pray I gave you some comfort that night. We must have fallen asleep for the next thing I knew Aunt Glo shook my foot, "Hun, I think he's gone." where the words she said. And so you were, our shining light gone, Please know in your heart, our love for you lives on. We will remember you always and miss you each day.
just wanted to wish you a happy easter, we are going to see everyone in mich, it is times like that, when we are all together that you are so very missed baby, this year is hard for me, i seem to say something like that every year, they say it gets easier, i say they are crazy, watching the boys move on with life, i wonder so much where you would be at now, who you would be with,would you be married. still at home??? living somewhere with kory? i would give anything to have those answers, i love you so much you will always be in my heart.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY baby, I miss you so much, Me and daddy came out to see you last night, I brought your candy hearts just like i do every year, talk about things changing! i was not able to find the kind i used to get you so i had to make up my own, guess that is just one more thing in the long line of things that have changed since you went away. seems like you have been gone for an eternity, too much time, too many changes if you have time, please visit me in my dreams again! i miss you so much!
