Tommy,

Just wanted to say I love you.....We are really getting things packed now.....We only have a couple of days until the move....We cannot wait......The new place will be good for us.....I know you agree.....

Our sunset

The kids are excited about moving....They do not like it where we currently live...But how could they....The missing of you has done it for us here.....But I know you understand that and want us to move from here...We know you will be with us on this journey and you will like it there too.....

We shared good memories there in Payson....you and me.....we were there with your dad and we all loved it.....so I know this is the right thing and you also confirmed that in a dream....

For you, My Tommy

Shae loves it for sure because no more scorpions......I know that made you laugh.....Thank you for the love you gave us and still give to us.....We feel your presence and we know that you love us as we love you....
That will never change......

Love you forever....
Your wife and kids,
Melinda, Shae, & Erik

Tommy....The sun rose you.... were on my mind....Nothing new just wanted to share it with you......The time that we had here on earth was amazing.....If people only new the magical love we shared from the time we met all the way through and I know it still continues today.....

You are a man that stood for what you believed in......You never judged anybody until they gave you reason....Your love for the Mother Earth and all the animals were amazing.....Then there is the love you had for us.....A love unconditional, nothing could touch.......Not even death......

We know you are here and you guide us every day......We know the move will be one of many memories that you will share.....Just because you are in the spirit world does not mean anything.....You still hear, feel, and know everything that goes on here.....I know you hear my words of how much I love and miss you.....

Well I guess until tomorrow......My love will be shown to you today and every day.....I know you will be with us on the holidays and I will be speaking to you a lot....

With all our love......

Your loving wife and kids,

Linda, Shae, & Erik

Tomorrow will be a month since you have passed over into the spirit world.....It does not get easier, it gets harder....Tommy, our precious daughter wrote a definition essay and she wrote it to you......So today's post is very special....I am posting the note she wrote to you....It is so beautiful.....

Shaelee:  Daddy's Girl

The love of our life

 My definition of a dad

          A dad is always protective, supportive, and loving. My dad was this way toward me. My dad passed away October 4 unexpectedly and it has been devastating for my family. I miss him but he filled the shoes of being the best dad in the world by providing the protection, support, and love only a daughter needs. 

        My dad was protective of me. He would have given his own life to protect mine. He quit work when I was born to make sure I would never be harmed. Now that is a good dad, the best. He put me before his own needs.

        No matter what, my dad supported me in everything I have ever wanted to do, even if he did not approve of it. He would explain the reasons he did not approve but left the final decision up to me. I understand why he done this. He wanted me to make my own decisions and pay the price if it was the wrong one. He taught me a lot and I am stronger for it, but even if I made the wrong decision, he would be there with his hand held out to me. 

        The love my dad showed me was unconditional love. No matter what, my dad loved me. I was and still am, "daddy's girl." He showed me what true and unconditional love means. I will never ever forget how he loved me and my family. He was the best dad you could have. 

        I miss my dad and that will never change. I love him more than anything. I know he is with the Creator and waits for me, my mom, and my brother to one day join him but until then I will hold all the protection, support, and love that he provided me inside my heart. We love you dad, forever.

                                                                                                                          Your loving daughter,

                                                                                                                                Shaelee

Daddy's Girl

Its early morning the time that we would set and talk....We would share the day's tasks and decided what we would have for dinner....The smallest things come back to me....If time could only be redone I would go back in time just to see your face...To hear your laughter...To hear the words "I love you Linda"

Our sunset

I hear the echoes of your words...I know how much you loved me....I loved you and always will.....

Dedicated to my sweet husband, Tommy 

The launch of "Journey to Christmas Creek" started yesterday...It is dedicated to you as all my books going forward will be.....You were and are the shining light of everything I do....You always encouraged me and I will never forget that...Just as I will never forget the love we shared.....The love will last forever.....Until we meet again....then the rejoicing will be so good.....

Our sunset

I share this sunset with you as we always shared them holding hands...Love you 

Your daughter wrote a beautiful essay yesterday......I will post it soon....It is titled: My definition of a Dad....Love the title.......Wait to you hear the essay itself.....Beautiful and the love of a daughter...

Yesterday I received my author's copies of "Journey to Christmas Creek" I was so pleased with the cover...
Dancing with Bear Publishing is the best publisher in the world.....The cover turned out great and the kids loved that fact, as do I, that Tommy is in the sky looking at us....I know he see's the book cover and is smiling down....He loved the fact of me writing....He encouraged me to write because he said, "Your writing is beautiful and always write."

The book cover

I love writing but now I understand what he meant....Writing can take you to another place....a wonderful place...I am currently writing a book about our lives together...I am dedicated to show to everyone what a wonderful, caring, and loving man Tommy was and still is...

The title was going to be "Soul Mates: Spirit Mates" but now Tommy has let me know that something was missing from the title so I am going with the title he sent to me in my heart and it is  "Spirit Bound: Journey of a love that transcends all time"....I was having a hard time coming up with the title but I looked up and ask Tommy to please help me decide..so now this will be the title and I love it. It fits so well and it just like him to help me name the book...I know it was him at work because he always said we were soul mates no matter here on Earth or in the spirit world......

So I would to thank Dancing with Bear Publisher, Marie MsGaha and R Jeffreys for all the hard work they do...They are amazing people and are part of my family now...We greatly appreciate everything they have done and are doing for us.....Tommy is smiling down on them for taking us and making us feel like family...

I also want to thank my wonderful kids, Shaelee 13, and Erik 23....They are my life now and I have to be strong for them....But remember kids I will have my days where I will cry for your dad...Its only because I love him so much....I know you understand...

My beautiful baby girl, Shaelee

My handsome son, Erik

Next I would like to thank Tommy for always being there for me....even now that he is in the spirit world I still  know and feel his presence....He made me who I am today and I know he loves me more than anything in the world and he will wait for me to join him....I love you my dear husband more than anything......

My loving husband, Tommy

I also must thank the Creator for allowing me the time I had with my Tommy.....I want to thank the Creator for blessing us with our kids....I want to thank the Creator for always being there for me.....and loving me unconditionally...I love you Creator with all my heart and please walk with us on this path and help us to heal....Amen.....

Our loving Creator God

Well I wanted to share with you all my blessing......

Love always and forever.....

Your wife and kids,
Linda, Shae, & Erik
