We Love You Brett

This picture was taken April 2009.  Lukas was 11 months old and it was Easter time.  This is/was Grandpa Brett.  It's been 2 years today since he has passed away.  While we all are finding our way in this world without Brett the loss of him not being here just never goes away.  My Mom will shake her fist at the sky when she is frustrated sometimes "you're supposed to be here!" she will shout!  It's true.  He was taken away from us way too early.  He didn't get to see his son Eddie join the National Guard, Eddie soon graduate high school, be with my Mom for this good stuff, see his second grandchild Megan be born, see just how much snow he had wished for the year he passed away (it was alot!), see his great nephew Aldous be born, watch Lukas grow into the great little guy he is, and be there for when Prancer (their family dog) passed away this last summer.  He may not have been here for all of these things and he has missed more things than I can even list, but I feel he is here in... and watches over us.  He is still with us in our hearts and you can feel it.  It's funny how the smallest things remind me of him.  The warmth of the sun (he loved warmth, grew up in California), a neatly kept yard, a purple heart, a yummy new recipe (Mexican or grilling), Harley Davidson everything, Jose Cuervo, and many many more things.  He was such a neat and unique person!        

We love you Brett and we will always miss you!  Always and Forever!♥
