My Child -

With my eyes - I see you,

With my mind - I think of you,

With my heart - I love you,

With my arms - I reach for you,

With my feet - I walk with you,

With my voice - I talk with you,

With my silence - I remember you,

With my laughter - I rejoice with you,

With my tears - I grieve for you,

With my entire heart, mind, body, and soul-

I long for you.

While you are visiting Terry’s site we would love for you to light a candle or leave a memory you have of him in the Tributes section.
His memory will live on in the hearts of those that love him.



It only Takes a Moment,
for Everything to Change

Your Little Girl, Christmas 2007

My Precious Terry,
I still look for You to come walking through the door, Instead, you walk through my Heart.

"It has been said, 'time heals all wounds.' I do not agree. The wounds remain.
In time, the mind, protecting its sanity, covers them with scar tissue and the pain lessens.
But it is never gone."

~Rose Kennedy~

Our Lives will be Forever Autumn
Because You are not Here

Of the many things that I have heard said about Terry, the one said by my husband shortly after his death has stayed with me and has served as my best description of his life. I can not remember who he was talking to but he chokingly made the statement that Terry was not perfect, but he was damn close! And he was damn close! I have never known a more loving and caring person. From childhood to adulthood, Terry approached every moment of his life with regard for someone else - always putting his feelings and desires on the back burner. My son gave me, and everyone he touched, inspiration and tons of love.

No more loving a man have I ever known.

A few months after losing Terry, my husband and I were dining at a local Chinese Restaurant. We had spent nearly the entire meal talking about my fear of whether I was doing what Terry would want concerning his daughter. As anyone that dines at Chinese restaurants knows, at the end of the meal you are given fortune cookies. I was still questioning myself when I opened my cookie. Within seconds I was crying uncontrollably. Terry had sent me a clear message.

I had never before, or since, received a message like this one.

Terry,
I swore I'd love you til the end of forever
(Really, how could I not)....

When the sun shines or when it rains... in your daughter's eyes....
I see you, my son, in everything.

Don't ask me to forget...don't ask me not to cry....
  My love and my grief will never die.
