I have had you on my mind all weekend. I just keep remembering how we started each summer Memorial Day Weekend at Salt Lick. I sure have some awesome memories of our camping trips. Those memories put a HUGE on my face. I miss you soooo much. I want you in my life soooo much. I also wish I would have had Mom in my life longer. Yet, I realize God has his reason for taking Mom when I wa so young. I know that you & Mom are both Courtney's & my Guardian Angels.
I have put a memorial for you & Mom in my front yard. I found a solar U.S. Navy Solar Rock that holds 2 flags on each side. I put a cherub in memory of Mom. Right now I have some white roses in the middle for both of you. I have pink roses on Mom's side that I put on Mother's Day. Now I have some red, white & blue flowers on your side for Memorial Day.
Next to that I have a sign for Courtney's college and some purple & yellow pansies around the bottom of the sign that represents her college colors. I have 2 more solar lights that shines on the complete area every night. It is very pretty.
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" / Sue Hi Dad, I am thinking of you on your birthday. It sometimes seems like you just left yesterday, then other days its seems like forever. I still and always will miss our Sunday phone conversations. There has been many Sunday's I really needed you. I don't think I will ever accept the fact that I can't just call you when I just want to say hi and here your voice or when I need to talk to you.
Today for instance, Courtney has been home for her Christmas break and is leaving to go back to TTU today. She still loves that college so much, because it reminds her of our camping trips, and all the good times she got to spend with you in Jackson County. I have been so happy to have her with me. She has filled a void I have in my life. Yet, she needs to be attending college and you would be so proud of her. I have been blessed with an awesome daughter. Some of that comes from the time you spent with her and some of the things you taught her. She has so much of you in her. That makes me very proud. Still to this day she has a picture of you in her pick up truck.
I Love You & Mom and miss you both bunches. I wish Mom could have got to meet Courtney. Close
Today would have been your 86th birthday. I will eat a cupcake in your honor although I'm sure it won't even come close to tasting as good as any cake you made.
It doesn't seem like you've been gone for almost 4 years already. The smallest things remind me of you every day - like seeing a black squirrel or hearing a Johnny Cash song.
I miss both you and Momma. I am happy you are with her. I know how much you always missed her.
Sharing a special moment in my life with you! / Sue Read >>

Hey Dad Just letting you know you have been on my mind. Missing sooo much. Your sister is now with you resting in peace. I will miss her. Today is Mom's birthday. I wish I could have got to know her better. Love & Miss All of You Bunches. Sue
This has been a long week for me. I've struggling with several things in my life right now & I wish I could talk to you. I miss you & Mom sooooooo much.
Missing you / Sue (Daughter)
Well, I haven't written for a while but I know you are my guardian angel watching over me and you know what has been going on with me. In church a few Sundays ago the preacher was talking about Luke and he said that we all have guardian angels that smile down on us and it made me think of Mom & you. So, just keep watching over me because as you know I really need you right now. I know you were proud of Courntey going to the cemetery. She needed to make peace with you for not staying for you funeral. She also really enjoys making the flowers for you. She puts her "heart" into it. She was so excitied that Seth & her were able to take there vacation and be in Akron. I am looking forward to being at the cememtary with both of you this weekend. I Love you & Miss you bunches.

Thinking of You / Sue (Daughter) Hey Dad, Here it is another Sunday missing being able to have our weekliy talk. Courtney had her "Senior Prom" last night. She was beautiful. She wore a lime green dress that had a train on it, with silver sequin on it. With her beautiful red hair she was beautiful. She had her hair pulled up in knots. I must say Seth was rather shocked when he saw her. Tom even got teary eyed. Graduation is the 18th. I can not believe it is here. Time sure has gone by quickly. She will be 18 soon. She has sure grown up to a very beautiful "woman". She has a good head on her shoulders. She will go a long way in life. She has goals set & I can see her succeeding at her goals and going very far in life. She will go off to college Aug 24th. I am so proud of her and I know you would be too. We both love you and miss you bunches. Close
Needing You / SUe Hey Dad, I am really sad today. My heart was broke this morning & I know if you were here I could lean my shoulder on yours and cry, and you would hold me & tell me that I will get through this. I MISS YOU SO MUCH. Close
Good Morning Dad It is a beautiful Sunday Morning. I had my cup of tea outside so I could watch the finches on the feeders. I couldn't even begin to count how many I have. They sit in the tree chirpping until one moves off the feeder and quickly another one gets on. I haven't seen any hummingbirds, yet it may be a tad too early. It became Spring here early this year. I found some petunias!! I got a white one and a purple one. They are in hanging baskets. I stopped at a yard sale last week and bought myself an old fashion bike. I put on weight since I was sick & I'm trying to get it off. I'm walking everyday before work. So now I have a bike to ride (if I can pedal it up the hills)Ha! Ha! I am feeling better it will just take time for me to get my strength back.I got me a hooly hoop yesterday. Courtney thought I was nuts. But that might help the stomach. I can not do any type of ab exercises because of my spine. I am starting a pilates workout with a ball today to work on stretching which should tone, trim & firm me up.(Hopefully). I feel so fat. All my clothes are tight. I bought a couple long skirts to wear to work. I firgured after I took the weight off I could put darts in them & still wear them. Luv & Miss You Bunches!!!!
Sunday/ Sue Hey Dad, Anohter Sunday has gone by with out you. I had a rough day yesterday but has been better. I am starting to feel better. It will just take hard work, patience & time.
I cleaned out my flower garden today. Because I am so weak it took me all day but it is beautiful. My panies survived through winter since it was a mild one. I potted some Dianthus & Verbena. I could not find any nice loooking petunias. You always liked them. I laid black mulch, it looks real nice. My finches keep my feeders empty. I put my first hummingbird feeder out. It has been warm all week. Too early for the high 80's. Hope that doesn't mean summer will be extremely hot. But I'm in the south, what do I expect. I hung up all my chimes. You & I always loved the outdoors. Luv You & Miss You Bunches
Hey Dad, It is the first day of Spring and it is beautiful here. I wanted to dress springy since the sun is shining & it will be 75 today. I wore a sleevless pink sweater with pink roses with green leaves on it, then it has a long sleeve button up sweater that you wear on top that matches. No, I didn't wear a dress!! I was going to wear a skirt but my toes are not polished! I didn't feel like fooling too much with hair.I got it cut real short last summer. I can wear it in many different styles. Today, I just put gel on it and wore it real curly. I looked at myself & realized how much I look like momma. Give her my love. Luv & Miss You Both So Much. I wish you both were here I need you two so much.
Hey Dad, I was watching the weather forecast this morning and "Billy Goat Mountain" will hit a high of 71. I remember when you would tease me & say I lived on "Billy Goat Mountain." Then, you actually sent me a letter addressing it as "Billy Goat Mountain, TN instead of Whie House, TN & I recevied it. Missing & Loving You Bunches.
Hey Dad, Here it is Sunday Morning Again and Missing our Talks. Just when I thought all my medical problems had been solved,I go back for a doctors appointment on Tuesday and find out I have osteoporis in my spine, right in the middle of my back and it has turned my spine to the left side of my shoulder like a candy cane. Just when I thought everything had already been found. The doctors say it is too dangerous to do surgery. They have put me on celebrix and skelaxin. They wanted to put me on sterodis but I ask them to try something else first. My left leg is 1" shorter than my right leg. They are making me a shoe insole for the left shoe. I had a bone density test last year & knew I had osteoporosis in my hips. But I have managed ok. They told me if I wasn't diagnos with this now that I would have been in a wheel chair in 6 mos. I have taken it very hard. I didn't even go to work Wed, Thurs. or Fri. I didn't have the heart to call Marlene. I knew it would upset her. Don @ work was very helpful for me when I returned to work on Tues. I have come to terms with it now. I called Dobbie & went to her farm. I knew the farm would be the place for me to deal with this. in my mind. She was very supportive. Don also stopped by everyday and called me to check on me. I have come to terms with it now. I realized that I can take medicine, walk & do the exercises they have given me to do. At least my spine will get stronger just never straignt again. Apparently when I was born the 2 bottom veribers grew together. I also have something abnormal at the top of my spine that the doctor said was also a birth defect. The doctor said that when I was dealing with losing you and going threw the divorce that when I lost all my wwight then put the weight back on later, my spine couldn't take the change of the weight loss & weight gain. I go back to the doctor Wed morning. I've been having trouble with panic attacks which is making my heart beat to fast. They took an EKG and my heart appears to be fine. I will for for sure when I return to the doctor. I just have to settle down my nerves to keep my heart rate down. They also took blood work and done an exray of my chest. They called Fri and said the results of my lood work was back & my cholerterol was high and my white blood count was high. I asked if that meant I had some kind of infection and she said the doctor will talk to me about it on Wed. Of course I am thinking the worst, that I might have some type of cancer. I am trying to keep that out of my mind, but it is hard. I am scared but I know God is with me and he is watching over me.
