One year today...March 3

"Hey everyone...it's a day to celebrate a new and everlasting life! ...and here's the shell my mom found on the beach. She was just walking with Jackie and found this one little shell among thousands scattered about! A picture is worth a thousand words! Know I am... just chillin!"

Four little roses...

Here are the roses just after I set them in the Gulf on the eve of the accident. They broke away from each other after a few minutes...

Check out my company!!! He stood by as I made the roses and set up the balloons and candles.

March 2, 2006...one year

This is the eve of the accident...one year ago. I went to Bonita Beach and lit candles and set roses and baby's breath adrift in the Gulf in memory of our Jim as well as four other young people from Meadville, who passed not long after Jimmy. Prayers for Jim, Lenny, Chase, Shawn and Camry! At sunset, I released a bouquet of balloons and set the flowers afloat. Later, after an incredible sunset, I was amazed at the stars that filled the sky...Orion, Jim's favorite was there in all his shining glory!

Messages

"Apparently, the messages that come from beyond
can be swift and delicate
and if we are not open and receptive
they will fly by unseen and unheard,
and will fall to earth,
we know not where.
If we can catch them in their flight,
we will find that peace descends upon us
and we will feel the breeze of an angel's wing

as it gently reaches out and touches us."

This is an excerpt from something I printed last April and for me it has so much truth. For me it is that soft sound of a wind chime when there is no breeze...for me it is just the right song that seems to say just the right thing coming on the radio when I am deep in thoughts of my Jim and missing him so. For me it is the smell of his cologne or hair that seems to brush past me when I'm home alone thinking of him. I ask for just one more hug and he comes in my dreams and gives me what I need. There is nothing scary or spooky...it's just my sweet Jimmy letting me know he's ok. I miss you but I know you're with me always so be well and keeps those little messages coming!!...."Ant" Sue
