Linda Carol Taylor

Dear Linda, I miss you so and think of you so often.  This was so silly, but the other day I started crying telling Doug why I bought an assortment of "hot chocolate mixes" because of you.  I know Angie will remember the year you and I went to Pittsburgh to visit and shop with her.  We bought an assortment of flavored hot cocoa's, you couldn't wait until be got back home to have some, then in your own silly way could not decide which flavor to have!!!  Every cup of hot choolate I drink I will be sharing with you.  The simplist things we shared were the happiest times with you.  Lots of love to you and all our loved ones in Heaven, and love to your family.

Morning Mom.  Just thinking of you! This time of year is so difficult.  I miss you so much!! Miss all our crazy Holiday traditions!! Cocoa & "Soggy" toast!! Ha!! ..Decorating the tree!! You & I arguing over hanging that darned tinsel across the living room!!!  Shopping & you complaining while I'm a shopping machine!! Ha!! So many fun times full of laughter & fun.  You take for granted that they will always be there, and then life takes such a terrible turn & what was something you thought you'd always have is gone.  If anything Mom, losing you, I know I appreciate "life" and just the every day routine that sometimes would otherwise seem so pesky & bothersome, now I feel blessed to have.  I enjoy the wildness of the kids, the total chaos of managing the 3 of them and our handful of animals... because they are truly all blessings.  So Thank you for that gift, ..giving me the opportunity to realize that although at this time of year I carry such sadness in my heart, that there still is so much I have to be thankful for, and I know you are with me.  .. Always!!

I miss you so much!

Angie

I miss you so much!! ..always will!!
Me!

 

Grandma Belle, I stayed over night 2 nights at Papa's this weekend, but you already know that I bet.  You were with us!

I wrote a song for you & I sang it to Papa.  He really liked it.  Then I sang it to Mama and she said to write it on your website, so here it is.  Be sure to listen to me, when I'm singing it to you.

I love you & miss you so much!
