Reflections for Sergeant Dario Scott Aponte
Life continues without you and as I reach goals and attain achievements, I yearn for you to be there celebrating as loudly as you always have! I believe you are watching over me, and there have been moments where I just knew you were right beside me providing a bumper of safety, but it's just not the same. Wish you were here! I love you and miss you always.

Hi Daddy!
Reflections! Memories! Wish I can trade them in for moments, traditions... I still find myself waking up and having to deal with the realization that you really aren't going to call me. That you really aren't going to meet your new granddaughter. That you really won't come visit us at my very own home. That you really aren't here to witness all the hard work you put into being the best Dad you could be, be put into play. I'm doing my best to atleast allow you to be at peace as I raise my family in this crazy world.
Miss you always and forever,
Loves and kisses to heaven

I reflect, I remember....but i dont want to! I want...no i need you here! Life is unfair in so many ways, understood, but to take away a huge chunk of my life was devastating. It doesnt get easier, ive just become numb. I know your looking down on me, enjoying the ride im taking through life. My successes are big thanks to you. You see ive followed your heart, and ive found comfort in it. Miss you always. Love you still. I will always be your little girl :)

Ok Scott I talk to you in my mind and when i go to church but I think I mostly I try not to actually believe or think that you really are gone forever. I know in my heart that if we had more time Our family would have come full circle. I also know that when push comes to shove we all would stand united for one another no matter what faults we all have. We all had our share of pain and hurting one another mostly over stupid things but we all knew tat we could count on each other no matter what, I wish I could go back in time and change or at least try to change some of the things that were said or not said and done and things not done but I know that I can't. I know when I pray to God and talk to you that you do hear me. Today Denise said that you would have acted just as I did today with a situation I had with Marcia and we laughed and I said that we were alike in some way. I do Miss you and love you and hope that you are truly at peace. Until I see you again. Love Brenda xoxoxo

Christmas is here, and boy is it still hard. This is the time of year, when no matter what..you got all us kids together. We need you daddy, you were the glue, the voice of reason, the spirit of the holiday. I still cry, wishing you'd walk through my door, hoping this is all a nightmare. I miss you Daddy, I love you and have a merry christmas up in the heavens!

I look at you picture everyday! You sit on my sun visor in my car, just like you used to keep my sis Ashleigh's picture. Something about loking up at you, makes the day a lil more peaceful. I remember you dad, the thick puffy hair, prickly mustache, and me playing like I was alseep when you would come and give me kisses goodnight (I hold tight to those memories). I do the same to JaiMarie and JonMikal every night, hoping when they have children of their own, they will remember me like I remember you!
Daddy keep watching over all of us! myself, Ashleigh, Lil Scott, Brandon, and Andrew need that!! As well as your grand children JaiMarie, JonMikal, and Kristian
xoxo
