19 Months today!!

[Dottie (Tammie's Mom)]

Well today is 19 months since my Tammie left us. At times I still don't believe it I think it is a BAD dream. Then I realize it is for real and the pain comes flooding back and over takes me.

I still say each day how can this be????WHY? And what will I do all alone without my Tammie as I grow older???

I have been staying busy with my shop and with Project Tammie, but each day as I drive to my shop I pass Tammie's street where she lived and died and I blow a kiss that direction. The pain is etched in my heart along with the void.

Thanks to all of you I am still here struggling my way through each day. Why I still don't know.

Love to all,
Dottie Tammie's Mom

Dottie:  I don't think that any of us will really believe that our precious children are gone.  Yesterday for us was 26 months that we found Jason.  As I pass by his pictures which have been in our house forever, I can't wrap myself around that he is really gone.  I look at him as a baby on our couch and my heart breaks.  I don't have any words of wisdom other than we all understand exactly how you feel.

Dottie I know it doesn't seem to get any easier, but please know we are all here for you.  I hope your shop is a success and keeps your mind busy.  Oh how we miss our "Buddies"

Dottie,

Such a hard day missing  your beautiful Tammie, I'm just so sorry.  Can certainly understand passing her street and blowing her a kiss, I pass the cross where Philip had his accident quite frequently since it is on a major thoroughfare and I always tell him I love him.

Holding you close to my heart and saying Tammie outloud.

Love ya,
Jeanne

[MARTHA(CANDI'S AUNT)]

DOTTIE,
  YOU'RE IN MY THOUGHT'S & PRAYERS. WHEN YOU SAID YOU BLOW A KISS AT THE STREET SHE LIVED ON. I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE THAT DID THINGS.

EVERYDAY I KISS CANDI'S PICTURE & SAY"ANGEL.AUNT MARTHA LOVES YOU CANDI."  I ALSO SAY" ANGEL YOUR FAMILY LOVES YOU CANDI. &  I ALWAYS SAY" MAMA , JOSH LOVE'S YOU" . JOSH IS HER SON.
BEFORE I LEAVE HER GRAVE I KISS HER HEADSTONE. THEN WHEN I'M IN MY VEHICHLE GETTING READY TO DRIVE AWAY I BLOW A KISS TOWARDS HER GRAVE & SAY" AUNT MARTHA LOVES YOU CANDI."

I'M GLAD TO KNOW SOMEONE ELSE DOES THIS ALSO. I HAVEN'T TOLD ANYONE BECAUSE I AM AFRAID OF WHAT THEY MIGHT THINK. I'M GLAD I GOT IT OUT TO YOU.

SENDING YOU HUG'S,
MARTHA

Dottie,

It is unbelievable.  Like you, everyday I think it's just a bad dream.  I can't believe this has happened.  There's is always an aching in my heart that just takes my breath away.  And everyday, I ask "Why"? 

I hope that someday, we all can meet or maybe try to set up a chat.

You will be in my thoughts.

Today is one month for my Dante.  (March 19th, 2007)

I feel your pain.  Today is a tough(er) day for me. 

Someone described it as not the day of his death, but his "angel day".  Makes it sound a little nicer, although I am selfish and wish he was here.

Take care.

Marty (Dante I love you!)

[Dottie (Tammie's Mom)]

Marty,

You are so very new to this journey. I thank you for even finding the strength to reply. You have found a wonderful group of parents who will cry with you and help to hold you up when you need it. We all understand.

Thoughts of your Dante,
Dottie Tammie's Mom
