12/20/04 - Well, it's Christmas, again, my precious baby. This was always our favorite time of the year, wasn't it? The lights on the tree, sparkling, the gifts under the tree and watching the light in your little eyes always made this the most magical time of the year. We always had such a wonderful time on Christmas morning, with you and Poppy coming in to see what Old St. Nick had left for you the night before and Mamma and Daddy scurrying around trying to get your pictures. I miss you so much, my precious baby and hope you have a wonderful Christmas with Poppy and all your friends there at the Bridge. Don't forget to look in on us on our special day, as we will be thinking about you and your little brother and all the happy Christmases we had together. Merry Christmas, my precious baby, and just know that I love you now and for always, throughout eternity.
12/24/04 - It's Christmas Eve, my precious baby, my third one without you here with me. I know that you are here in spirit and in my heart always, but I miss you being here under our Christmas tree and watching your little eyes light up as you look at what old Santa brought you on Christmas morning. I pray you will have a special day there at the Bridge with Poppy and Minnie and all the new friends you have made and that you will look in on us as we go through our Christmas day tomorrow. Just know I love you and always will, my baby. Merry Christmas!
1/4/05 - Happy New Year, my precious baby. Here, we have a whole new year to try to make it through without you. I know that at the Bridge, a year is like a breath; but here, as you remember, it can be a very long time. However, as the years go by, they seem to move a lot faster than they used to when we were younger. I pray that you are happy and having a good time and that you are keeping a close eye on your mamma so that you will be ready to meet me when it's my time to be with you for eternity. Just be happy, my baby, and know that your mamma still loves you with her whole heart and always will. Make this a year of fun and frolick with your baby brother that you loved so much and don't forget your mamma who loves you and will be with you, again, some day. I love you, my precious baby, for all eternity.
1/5/05 - Hi, my sweet, sweet baby. I just wanted to tell you how much I love you and miss you and that you are always on my mind. I also wanted to tell you, even though I'm sure you already know and I guess it's kind of silly, but when you were still here, remember we were on E-Bay a lot on the computer? Well, this morning we finally got our No. 100 and a green star. Remember, we said that some day we would reach 100 and get that green star? Well, we made it, Baby. I love you, sweetheart, and pray that you are happy and enjoying your stay at the Bridge. Watch for your mamma to arrive so you can help me find my way to you and little Poppy when it's my time to join you for eternity. I love you, Baby.
2/11/05 - Hi, my sweet baby. I don't really have anything new to tell you. Things are pretty much normal (whatever that is) here at home, or as normal as they can be without you and Poppy being here with us. But that would be back to our wonderful life, not just normal. But, then, you already knew that, didn't you. Tomorrow is Mamma's birthday, baby, the third one I've had since you left me. You always enjoyed my birthday cake, didn't you, baby? So, tomorrow, you have a piece of birthday cake with Poppy and celebrate Mamma's birthday together, just as you used to do here with us. I love you, my sweet baby, more and more as each special occasion goes by. Have fun with Poppy, my precious, and peek in on your mamma once in a while just to check on how things are going. But above all, remember how much I love you, now and forever.
2/14/05 - Happy Valentines Day, my precious little baby. I pray you are receiving all the love and devotion you so rightly deserve and that your little face is glowing and happy every single day. Your mamma is doing okay, Baby. Daddy made sure that I had a wonderful birthday and today, Valentines Day, has started out great, too, as I'm sure you know. But you just remember how wonderful Daddy is to Mamma and know that we both love you and miss you like crazy, but also remember we will be with you, again, some day. And you know how wonderful that will be for all of us. Until then, my precious baby, be happy and take care of little Poppy and know we love you so much and will throughout all eternity. Until we are together again, my baby, just remember how all of Mamma's kisses and hugs felt to you when you were still here in my arms and know that they will be yours, again, when we are all together for eternity.
3/27/05 - Happy Easter, my sweet little baby. I hope the bunny rabbit is there for you and will fill your basket with all kinds of goodies that you love. Remember, the Easter basket you used to have when you were here with us? Of course, you do. You always loved it, just like any little child would. And that's what you are to me, my baby. You are and will always be my child and my sweet, sweet baby. Until we are together once again, my sweet one, just remember how much I love you and how happy you always made me. Happy Easter, my precious baby. I love you and miss you every day and will until the day we are together again. Enjoy all your chocolate bunnies and eggs that you could never have when you were with me. I love you, my sweet baby. Happy Easter.
8/22/05 - My precious baby, it has been four months since I have been able to come and visit you at the Bridge. But I know you know that you are and always will be in my heart and on my mind. I am so glad to be able to see your precious face and talk to your sweet soul once again. I love you, my baby, more every day and I know the day we are reunited at the Bridge will be a special day for all of us. Until then, my sweetheart, have a wonderful time, watch over Poppy for me and never forget how much I love you.
8/28/05 - I can't believe it's been three years since I last held you in my arms. It seems like only yesterday that we were sitting in there in the den, you in my lap, with me brushing your shiny fur and you with that big smile on your face and in your sweet eyes. I will love you for all eternity, my precious baby. Until we are together again, never forget our love and how it felt for you to be in my arms. Next time, Baby, it will be forever.
