When my grandparents passed away I was lucky enough to be by their bedside to help them move on to say my goodbyes to hear there last breaths… How I yearn to speak with my dad one last time… The last words I ever spoke to him were I love you dad, and thank you for the tree (He gave me tree the day before he passed). I am so thankful for that Sunday dinner the night before the accident. Most of you do not know this; I was pregnant with what would be Kevin and I’s first baby we had not told anyone besides my mom and dad, (we were trying to figure out the perfect way to tell the Pickett’s and actually planned on telling them that coming Wednesday)… Well Long story short I ended up miscarrying that Thursday (Aug 5). So that Sunday we had a dinner in our babies honor and we all were able to come together as a family one last time (Its amazing how the Lord works). I was able to sit down and talk with my dad just him and I. He spoke to me so candidly told me things he had never told me before… During that conversation he told me “Jamie don't worry I will never leave you and your brother” I know my dad loved us so much he would have done anything in this world for Justin and I.
Today is the one month anniversary from the last day that I saw and spoke with my dad… Be sure to tells those that you love… You love them every chance you get because you never know it may be your last (Well at least for awhile).
I love you dad more than words could ever express my heart aches for you, to have one of your amazing hugs to here your laugh… I love you and I need you. ~Your Daughter

Beautiful reminder to us all how fragile life really is.
James, I love you. I'm so sad that you have to go through this. I don't think anything can be said to make you feel better, but just know that so many love you and are here to support you (I'm one of them ;)
I'm always here for ya!

Jamie, I am so thinking of you and praying for you and sending you my love! Gus and I are in CT now waiting to move into our apartment in MA but if I could I would come and visit you and give you a big hug and let you cry on my shoulder if needed. Love you sweetheart! Gus and I miss you and Kevin all the time. You were the best neighbors!
Jamie, Hold to the memories of your dad. They will help you. If you need to talk, please don't hesitate to call/email/text/whatever me!! Love you!!
Jamie,
I have thought of you a lot in the last month. I hope you are doing ok. This was such a sweet post, with having a miscarriage too so much more bittersweet. I'm so sorry for all that you have been through.
Jamie,
You and Kevin will be in our hearts for so many reasons. We both think about Charlie often when speaking to other RV'rs. He is truly missed by all. I know that Charlie is always looking down at you and Kevin and sending lots of love
