Eight Years

Vickie Lynn Worth
1955-2000

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.
Isaiah 40:31

Today we came out to visit it you mom. It was a beautiful day and on the drive over I saw the eagle like I always do. Its always good to see them on days like this. I think this is what the weather was like 8 years ago when you left, but the details seem to get fuzzy as time go by. I often wonder how to hold on to those, since there is so much I want to share with Ariel.

Stella has been good for our family since you have been gone. I really don't know what my life would be like without her here. Thank you mom for leaving me your friend, who in turn is mine too.


Nana is always trying to be strong for us all, but I know how much this time of year hurts. We all still hurt, and I don't think that will ever go away. She is so amazing, and I wish that one day I could be half the woman that she is. She will always be Nana to everyone.


There is so much I could say about everyone, but I will just say that we are all happy. Regardless of the struggles in life, we are all so blessed.

Ariel wanted to wear blue today for you, and we brought you some of your favorite white roses. I had to run all over town this morning to find those, but I had to have some for you. I didn't cry this morning... but I am now. There is something about writing you that makes me weep openly. I guess I just miss you...


I love you Mom! I miss you so much... we all miss you. That will never change.
