View all 170 ReflectionsBabe :) I love you and I miss you so terribly :( Life is hard and gets harder and harder every day...but I know you would be so proud (Heck! You're probably dancing with the Father) knowing that Trump won! You were a Family Man, a Christian, a Republican, a Soldier, and a Deputy, yet none of these words truly describe the man you were. YOU were a GIVER! I know you see everything, so there is no reason to put it all here for others to read. We have a wonderful son-in-law, 2 wonderful daughters-in-law, and 6 BEAUTIFUL grandchildren! Our 3 miracle children have created wonderful families whom I get to spend glorious amounts of time with :) I know when I leave this earth and arrive home I will have 3 Js waiting for me: Jesus (My Lord and Savior), James (my daddy who left this earth at 57!), and John (my Husband, my Friend, my Favorite Person)! Until we meet at the Pearly Gates, watch over us all and protect us! YOU ARE LOVED BEYOND ALL MEASURE!!!!!
