We miss you, buddy.  But we know you are now at peace with your dad
up there on the playground in the sky.

 

Thinking of Ted

I wish heaven had a phone
     so I could hear your voice again.
I thought of you today,
     but that is nothing new.
I thought about you yesterday,
     and days before that too.
I think of you in silence,
     I often speak your name.
All I have are memories
     and a picture in a frame.
Your memory is a keepsake
     from which I'll never part.
God has you in his arms.
     I have you in my heart.

We Miss You, Bubba.
