Two Years - Missing You Still

Thursday - August 5, 2010

It has been two years since my twin, John, left this world to meet our Lord and Savior. He was a good Christian man who loved the Lord, his family, and his friends. He and I were close. Some say it was because we were twins, and there is probably some truth to that. I love my other two brothers just as much as I loved John. We have all missed John these last two years. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about him. There have been many days when with Dink, Mike, and some of the other family that we tell John stories. He had such a good heart and would do anything for anyone who needed help. He would come up with a solution for any problem that needed fix.

This has been a rough week, and today is is going to be even more difficult to get through because it is the date you left us. Why do these "anniversary dates make us so sad? We know you are with our heavenly family and looking down on all your loved ones. The pictures I have posted are going to be mainly of John and me through the years!!! I love you John, and I miss you so very much - we all do!!!!
