Thursday, November 20, 2014

I know this may seem strange or sound really dumb, but today I stood and leaned over the back of my sofa staring out the front window for what seemed a very long time, waiting and dreaming of seeing Jimmy walk up the front yard to the door and swing it open to yell a resounding heeeearroooow...... HAAAAPPYYYY BIIIRRRTHHHDAAAAYYY MAW; the only way Jimmy can. :)
Makes my heart sad and happy at the same time.
Sad, because I miss him so much; and happy because he gave me so many great memories! I miss this boy so much that it is painful. My heart aches to hear his smartass comments. His humor was a match for mine- I miss that terribly as well.
I can't wait until I get to see him again!

 Love you boy!

adventure

Yes Cheryl, Jimmy was all about the thrill of living. I am so VERY glad that he did live a very happy and exciting life for the time that he had here with us. And it is awesome to see the friends and family that are still taking Jimmy with them in their travels and adventures. This is awesome in part because of the words in Jimmy's last letter. His desires were to be spread out as far as he could go. Each time I go away somewhere I make sure that I have some of his ashes to take with. (happy and sad moments)
Jimmy LOVED the yearly trip with Brianna. He looked forward to it. I loved that they stayed close for so long too.
 So, close friends and family- bring on the adventures!!

Niagra Falls

Well, it has been quite a while since Jimmy's spirit and some remains went over the falls thanks to Clare, aka "Jeff's Mom". Jimmy has so many people that loved him while he graced the Earth and they continue to love and cherish the memories that were shared, while making more! Jimmy has been taken to so many parts of this earth with the help of friends and family. The most recent being with his sister, Shelley. She went to Las Vegas and did a base jump from over 900 feet in the air. She wasn't allowed to carry and release so she wore her necklace, which was not allowed either but she tucked Jimmy near her heart and did it anyway. She was terrified, but knew that Jimmy would be with her and this is something he would have LOVED. Thank you to all who still continue thinking about Jimmy and following through with his last wishes to be spread as many locations as possible. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THE LOVE WITH US.

end of an era

Today, I feel Jimmy is right by my side- I have been at my job for 16 years and I will be leaving at 4PM today for the last time. It was a HUGE decision, but losing loved ones proves that life is short and we all need to live up to our best selves and never sell out to be someone that you would never want to be. With Jimmy's strength, I will be fine. It would have been MUCH better to have him here in another form of course, but I am feeling his strength......

July 4th

Jimmy always loved this day- he was always going to different states to purchase some kick ass fireworks to share with his family. The bigger the better he always thought. He got some pretty GREAT stuff!!
 Jimmy, we all miss you so tremendously - it hurts very much... I can't really explain how I feel most times.... I am in a daze, a crazy vortex of untruthfulness, somewhere a parent never wanted to be. I know that you are all around, but dammit, I get very selfish and just want to see you, talk to you, hear your smart ass comments one more time. I sometimes find myself praying for the day that I will see you again to come soon; I know that a parent and grandparent that has others to love and hold should not be thinking this way- but it can't be helped sometimes. I do apologize for the thoughts to the rest of my family.
We love you James- Dad misses you very much too. We are leaning on one another - I know you see this and it helps. Damion talks about you a lot. Zen does too--- we  keep you alive in our every day discussions  so that they will be able to know you! <3
So many words left to say---- can't wait to see you again....

Grey Fox,
I do remember  - - - and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity with the donation.
Thank you for your kind words of Jimmy... He sure was ONE OF A KIND and at such a young age to have touched so many, makes me fill with pride. I know that he fills a bigger purpose now- but that doesn't mean that it still doesn't suck... right?
He will NEVER be forgotten and that has been proven by soooo many people and their loving words for my son.
Thank you again for keeping Uncle J-Bird alive in your thoughts!!
Marie ~ Mother of one of the best beings ever!!
