I thought of you today when I drove by your house that I drive by everyday on my way home. Everytime I pass by now I think of you sitting there on the front porch with papaw just watching the traffic going by. I remembered how happy it always made you when instead of driving on bye with a wave or a beep of my horn, I would stop and pull in the drive for a visit. What I would give to be able to pull in today just to say I love you.
I thought of you today when i washed my dishes after cooking supper. Honestly everytime I stick my hands in a sink full of dishes I think of you. I remember being only 6 or 7 and pulling a kitchen chair up to the sink so that I could stand beside you and rinse the soapy dishes you would hand to me. Afterwards you would tickle me until I would jump down and race out of the kitchen squealing with laughter.
I thought of you today when I pulled into my driveway. I remembered the last time you visited that you were able to get out of the car. It was a beautiful fall day last year and we sat in lawn chairs in my front yard along with papaw, mom, Robbie, & Joy. I wish I could remember what was so funny that day, but something you said to Joy got you both laughing so hard...it was a perfect day.
I thought of you today when I read something online that someone had written about the old Tombstone Junction western town. Its shut down now but it used to be just across the Mccreary County Line after you crossed the bridge at the Cumberland Falls. I remember you and papaw taking me there when I was a little girl and I remember stopping by a little roadside gift shop. Me and papaw went in while you stayed in the car & I got a little toy snake that wiggled when you moved it and when I got in the car I scared you half to death with that stupid snake. You were always so scared of snakes & I thought you would be mad forever, but you weren't.
I thought of you today when I was going thru some old pictures to scan and came across a picture of us in Michael's old apartment in Lexington. I used to love going on those little road trips with you and papaw to visit Michael. The trip always meant I got to swim in the pool at the apartment complex he lived in, & it also meant we would probably eat at that neat little restaraunt that was near a river or a lake that had awesome catfish; I don't have a clue where that was at but I loved it there. I'll have to ask papaw about that.
I think of you everytime I look at the sky. I think of you everytime I pray. I think of you every night before I go to sleep. I think of you every morning when I wake up. I think of you everyday of my life. I will never forget that you were my angel here on earth. I love you and I miss you always.
