Missing you / Brienn Murray (Daughter)
Daddy, last night I woke up with a bloody nose(I know gross!) and when I finally laid back down and tried to fall asleep I swear I could feel you near me. I miss you so much! I'll love you always and forever! -BRIEBEEPS Close
last night we went to irish fest & all the harleys in the motorcycle lot made me think of you. i would give almost anything to see your big, smiling, much-loved face again. i still can't believe you're gone. the shock has been too much at times. please send a sign to season & brienn so they know you're okay. love always,
Today marks the day that nobody wants to remember. One year ago today our family changed forever. It seems like this past year has been a roller coaster of emotions. A year ago today I had no idea how to go on with life, what to do next. Yet here I am, not the same person I was a year ago, but I am still here and have made it through the most difficult year of my life. There have so many times this past year that I needed your advice or handyman skills and I am still not used to not being able to pick up the phone and ask you. I don't think I will ever be used to you not being here. I try to take one day at a time, but it seems like a never ending cycle of trying to get through the day. I don't think people realize how much someone means to them and the impact they've made on your life, until they are no longer here. I miss you and think of you on a daily basis, although sometimes I wish that I could get through just one day without the pain of remembering. Today is going better so far than I had anticipated. I think in some way, even though there is a ton of work to be done at the house, that I feel closer to you and more calm than I would have had we not bought the house. It's starting to feel a little bit more like "our" home, but for the first week or so every room I would go in, I would get a rush of memories from years ago. I know how proud you probably are that the house stayed in the family. I just wish that I could have moved in under different circumstances. Brienn is coming over after work and we are going to bring you up some flowers and balloons. Oh how I hate to spend such a beautiful day visiting the cemetery. Things should be so different. I love you so very much Dad, and hope that I never take anything or anyone for granted. Love Always, Season
I hope that days come easy and moments pass slow, And each road leads you where you want to go, And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose, I hope you choose the one that means the most to you. And if one door opens to another door closed, I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window, If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,
But more than anything, more than anything, My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, And while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish.
I hope you never look back, but ya never forget, All the ones who love you, in the place you left, I hope you always forgive, and you never regret, And you help somebody every chance you get, Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake, And you always give more than you take.
But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything, My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, And while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish.
This is my wish I hope you know somebody loves you May all your dreams stay big
almost a year / Sue Norton (sister-in-law)
dear big al --
hard to believe it has been almost a year. i keep expecting it to be easier but it's not. early, early mornings are the worst, when i wake up too early & my heart actually hurts. i still can't believe it.
season has done a fantastic job with the house. i hope you are are proud.
wish you could see this website . . . the love & support, even from strangers, is humbling. everyone seems to know how special you are.
love forever,
aunt sue (i remember once when season sent me a card that said "anut sue" :-) Close

Well Dad, we did it, we put an offer in on your house and we got it. I'm so happy that the house will stay in the family and I think after I get over the initial shock of living in your house and it being the place you passed away, I'm hoping it will make me feel close to you. I have mixed feelings about the house though, it's the house Brienn and I grew up in and the house that holds some wonderful memories, but on the other hand I dislike the house, since that's the place that you passed away. I'm in the process of packing up everything, and I am sure hoping that if we ever move again it's not for a long, long time. We close at the end of June and I am just looking forward to being done with everything. I know you'd be so happy and proud of me. It's hard to believe that next month will be a year since you've been gone. I miss you more than I did on day one, if that's possible. I love you so much Dad and will never stop thinking of you or missing you.
we miss you so much. i keep thinking that one of these days it will be easier & it's not. there are no words for the pain. it feels like part of the world is missing. your daughters love you dearly. please let us know you're okay. i wish you could be at kayleigh's 8th grade graduatioin party on saturday.
