It's been awhile, my friend....
Maybe so long that no one ever comes here to visit anymore. I don't know why that makes me so sad. This is not a happy place. This is not a blog like my others...there's no reason to make cute background designs or to change the fonts and colors of posts. There's no real reason to come here to smile...
So why am I here...I'm not sure really. I guess at this point this is the closest I can get to you Brian. I talk to you alot...especially now that I have Abby. I think about what you would think of her. Of what you would have said when we told you we were going to be parents. How much you would have loved her and how fun you would have been for her.
And I watch your sweet Livi grow up. And I feel sad that you aren't here. That you are missing her become this unbelieveable little lady. I know you aren't really missing her. That you are in heaven watching over all of us. That you are helping to bring these wonderful little experiences to us. I know that your life in heaven is so magical now. And you are whole.
But I still miss you....
Livi is really doing great. She misses you and talks about you often. I think you would be glad to hear that. That she will always be Daddy's little girl. In her mind, you are the greatest, the fastest, the strongest, the most perfect daddy ever. She will go through life always knowing you in that way and that is beautiful to me. You have a very special little girl.
So she is here with us for a couple of weeks. I know you know that.... :) she talks about you a lot. And she was telling me that her favorite picture of the two of you is the one that you are holding her in the palm of your hand. And I told her that was your favorite picture too. I remember Jessica telling me that when she brought it to the hospital. And I also think about how fitting that both of your favorites is the one where you are holding her in the palm of your hand....and I think that's just what you are doing now.
She wears your grateful dead tshirt to bed and she hums shakedown street...LOL I know you are proud of that. But most importantly she has such a sweet, innocent spirit. That reaches out and grabs you...and makes you smile. She makes me smile. And I know you are proud of her.
I'm sorry Brian. I'm sorry that you are missing this. I'm sorry you had to experience a difficult ending to a sometimes painful journey on this planet. I'm sorry I couldn't save you. I'm so sorry I couldn't save you....
But I'm glad I knew you here on earth and I look forward to seeing you in heaven one day.
Keep the party going until we get up there!
I love you
Jamie
PS. I'm glad you were there to welcome my dear sweet Brody home. I'm sure he was glad to see a friendly face. And it comforts me (and Livi) to know that y'all are together.
