“Life is eternal; and love is immortal; and death is only a horizon;
and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.” – Rossiter Raymond

Three Years Ago Today, You Claimed Victory in Eternity.
You were my first born, the one who made me a Mother!
I know it was a rough ride for you, but you paved the way for your sister and brothers.
I can still hear your voice in my head. “Hey Mama” in that silly voice you would use.
You were on my to do list on the very last day you were on Earth. I have had to resist driving through
the bank drive through just to tell the ladies hello for you. I still find myself wandering through
the polo section at the mall to see which shirt I think you would like. You will always be in my
heart and on my mind. I am thankful that you don’t have to live on this broken Earth, but selfishly
I really miss you! One day I will see you again, but until I do I will cherish every
memory I have of you my son. I love you with all my heart…..

When you left for Auburn, I thought my heart would break. I worried that I hadn’t taught
you everything you needed to know, but it didn’t matter. What you didn’t know you
figured out on your own. Silly me for thinking otherwise. I looked forward to your
graduation. We were so proud of your sister walking for you. We wish you
could have been there, but we held our heads high! I looked forward to you coming
home. I looked forward to your wedding, your babies and all the moments in life that
was left to live. I feel cheated in so many ways, but then I remind myself the
you are right where I have always dreamed of going and where I have prayed
my children would go. There is no greater place than at ” His feet”! You just got there too fast.
You always were one for skipping all the steps with everything you did in your short 22 yrs.
You always went for the gusto didn’t you? I remember you telling me that we had to live
with no regrets. Those words ring in my ears now.
So today I will simply say, ” War Eagle Son, War Eagle”!
So today I will simply say, ” War Eagle Son, War Eagle”!

You will be missed at every family wedding, holiday and meal.
There will be an empty chair at our table, but your presence will be felt.

Our hearts will never be the same, but we are all better for having had you in our lives.
“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on
wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint”
Isaiah 40:31
I know you are having the best time of your life! One day we will see you again…
[siteorigin_widget class=”SiteOrigin_Widget_Image_Widget”][/siteorigin_widget]
But until then…… This one’s for you Walker…

Family is too precious to take for granted…Love them always and cherish all the moments, good and bad, for once they are gone, all you have are those precious memories.
