It's hard to believe it's been 7 years. It feels like yesterday...but then it seems like eternity since I've seen your face. I can't believe I made it this far, but then again, you never really know how strong you are or weak you are until such a huge tragedy overturns your life.

I will always love you and miss you.

Bryan you live in our hearts forever. Everyday, somewhere, someplace, we see the likeness of his face. I never met you personally but knowing and working with your brother. I know how much you are loved and missed. R.I.P.

I miss you....I can't believe it's coming up on 7 years already. I saw some hideous xmas decorations and I just stared at them. I wondered how that time of years will ever feel special again, but deep inside I know that it never will.

Until next time..

Juli, I just want to say how happy we are that you are able to move on now. You never thought you would be able to when you read your passed reflections and the truth is everyone has their own greiving time and you do reach a time that you can move forward and be able to love again. You have moved forward with Bryan tucked away in a special place in your heart that can never be taken away.

If only....

I wrote a poem for you today titled "If Only"....time doesn't stand still and wait for anyone but I certainly can't believe it's coming up on 7 years. Life without you seems to drag on...it will never be like it was. Yet, oddly enough, I've rebuilt my life but it's so strange to think that I will never ever tire of thinking about the way that I felt when you were alive. Time will never change that.

I love you.

I miss you..........

On Sunday, it was six and a half years to the day that you were shot and killed in the prime of your life. I honored you and celebrated your life, but shed tears for so much of what we missed out on together. My life was also damaged the day you were killed. I will never let him win, so I have rebuilt my life. Certainly, even after all of this time there are so many things that are still unclear or cloudy to me...It feels like a lifetime since you've been gone.

I will always remember the way that I felt when you were alive. You made me a better nurse and a better person. Someday, maybe I will be back to that place but it's not likely. Life is full of surprises I suppose, but I know that feeling of love, protection and feeling whole are gone.

I miss you..

Jules,

When most forget your special day, I'm just letting you know that I paid attention and didn't. Bryan made this day the happiest day of your life when he made you his wife. It was good talking to you on Saturday and I hope you're doing well. Continue to hang in there, stay strong, and move forward. Bryan is looking down on you and beaming with pride. One day we'll catch up in person I promise. Love ya Jules!

My thoughts are with all of your loved ones on this special day, Police Officer Memorial Day. Continue to watch over all of your loved ones for I know they carry that special love for you in their hearts and precious memories of you that will live on forever.

Thank you for being the true hero that you are. You have not been forgotten.

B.,

It's that time of year again. Not only is it National Police Week, but it's our wedding anniversary on the 17th. It still seems like yesterday that we were just getting started on our journey as husband and wife. On 12/13, all of hopes and dreams that we had ended. It's so difficult now not to look back on the past and think about that being the best part of my life because in so many ways, it was. Although I have a lot of living left to do, there will always be a hole in my heart that although it's healed, it remains scarred. I never thought that 6 years later, the old wounds and scars can be reopened by the smallest of the small things. You and I really never knew much of where our lives would have been or gone because we were truly robbed of a lifetime of happiness. Now, it's just me alone to carry on your name. I know I have made you proud by returning to my profession and sometimes I wonder what is next. I suppose only time will tell. There is no time line on grief as a friend of mine told me last week. Some of us take longer and since I don't fit into the 3-5 year mold, it doesn't make me wrong, just different. You did know that I was different when you married me, right? : ) I believe you married a female version of yourself and you saw strength and traits in me that were similar to your own. The fact that Braveheart was your favorite movie....well, what is the irony in that? I will always remember our May 17th dream and remember how awesome our wedding and honeymoon was. I am glad I now live in the place where all of our dreams were coming true and we were becoming an "us". I love you and miss you.

Love,
J.

You are never far from my thoughts. No matter how much time goes by, I truly feel that you are my One and Only. I think that it is so hilarious how everyone predicted that I would go on to remarry. Six years later, you are still the love of my life. I would not choose to disrupt the connection that we have, even though many along the way have tried. May we meet again on the Other Side sooner rather than later. I Love You.
