Today is one year...
Dear Collin,
A year has gone by without you in it....A year that I thought I would have never made it through, but I have. It hasn't been easy. Lots of tears, questions and a lot of anger, but this year I have experienced good things also. This experience has been quite a journey in what love is all about. The outpouring of love and compassion that I have felt from friends and family has been overwhelming.
Steve, the boys and I feel so fortunate that we had the last six months of your time here shared with us. We had a lot of laughs and special times spent with each of us. I believe it was in Gods plan to bring you home to us for that time.
Through this tragedy I have reconnected with people who have slipped to the side. I am thankful for that. I have also made new friends because of your passing, I am thankful for that as well.
My life isn't the same without you...it never will be. I hope you hear me every night when I tell you goodnight, and that I love you and miss you. I close my eyes and I can still hear your voice, as strong as the day we sang all the way to the airport....and i said goodbye one year ago. Your shoes are still by the back door to remind us that you are still close and very much still a part of our family.
Steve and I, Alex and Max are heading to Top Golf on thursday night in your memory, we know how it was one of your favorite places to go with friends and the boys. We will drill out a couple of golf balls and put some of your ashes in them. Alex and Max will smack them out in the field, we think you would approve.
My heart aches for you everyday Collin, I miss and love you my son......

A Gathering for Collin 1-4-09
Steve, Alex, Max and I would like thank all of you for coming to Collins gathering. We are not surprised at the amazing turnout because he was a truly amazing person.
Steve and I read through the memory box and just cried. All the letters and memories were so special. Thank you for sharing and telling us things we didn't know about Collin.
I sit here today and cry for the emptiness I feel without having Collin near. I miss his presence in the house, I miss doing his laundry, I miss kicking his shoes to the side at the back door, I miss his dirty dishes in the sink, I miss his car in the driveway, I miss his laughter, his hugs and his constant "I love you's"
I'll miss him till I see him again.......
