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!

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!!
