Well friends, it’s been a long week! Finally made it out to Holy Trinity cemetary to see Garett’s headstone, today! It is very true, that seeing it in stone, brings a wave of emotions! We talked, I sang to him, and let the tears flow. Missing him, not in sadness, but with complete gratitude! Knowing full well, many others didn’t get 23 years, 7 months, and one day with their child! I treasure every moment spent with him, and always will!! Counting down the days until his birthday, and fully anticipate it may be a tough day! But every opportunity to celebrate him, brings love and family near! And I am blessed with family that always shows up! ♥️

For those that know my dad, Fred, please say a little prayer for comfort and healing. He hasn’t felt very well this week, ended up in the hospital, and it’s hit all of us pretty hard. I stayed with him a couple of nights, and woke up to him talking to Garett in his dreams. Which brought a smile, and also a loving reminder that our loved ones are always with us!

I say this often, but it never hurts to remind everyone to hug their babies, dads, and loved ones a little more! Time is precious!

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Happy Thursday friends!! It’s been a beautiful couple of days!! Warm weather, sunshine, and nature is starting to bloom! 🌷🌱🌳 and tomorrow is the Spring Equinox!!! 🎉🥳

Garett has been showing nods our way! Logan told me yesterday, he received a Snapchat request from Garett’s number, someone named Ramos. Right after, Noah called to say he got a FaceTime suggestion, call GARETT!! 😂 When we joked about haunting each other, after death, Garett always said he’d reach out, and we would definitely know it was him! Just one of those rare moments that brought warmth to my heart, and a smile! I tell you this, to also share the following! Very interesting! 😉

Traveling back 5,000 years ago (c. 3000 BCE) , we leave written records behind and enter the Neolithic period. This was the age of the great megalithic monuments, and the spring equinox was likely a time of immense ritual significance, tied to survival and cosmology.

Here is how our ancestors probably understood it:

· The Resurrection of the Land:

In practical terms, the equinox meant the end of the hunger gap. After months of surviving on stored food and slaughtered livestock, the melting snow and lengthening days signaled the start of the growing season. It was a literal rebirth of the world from the dead of winter.

· Alignment with the Dead:

Communities invested enormous effort to align their monuments with the sunrise. The most famous example is the Loughcrew Cairns in Ireland (circa 3,200 BCE). On the spring equinox, the rising sun illuminates the inner chamber’s carvings. For the builders, this light piercing the darkness likely symbolized the triumph of life over death or the coupling of the sun (male) with the earth (female) to fertilize the land.

· The Battle of Light and Dark:

In their worldview, the year was a cosmic battle between light and dark. The equinox was proof that the light had won. It was a day of cosmic balance that validated their understanding of the universe and renewed their hope for the harvest to come.

So, 5,000 years ago, the equinox wasn't explained as a tilt of the axis, but experienced as a profound spiritual event where ancestors, the sun, and the fertility of the earth converged.

It doesn’t matter what you believe in, spirituality, religion, gnosis, or maybe nothing at all. Most cultures, even religion saw the equinox as a time for cleansing and renewal. (Around 1000 years ago) So get up, get outside, and welcome spring with the sunrise! ☀️

Such a fascinating time in history!! More connected than ever! Without the wires and wireless! 😂

Happy Equinox Eve!

For fun, equinox times per timezone, and I pic of Garett and I, 7 years ago today! ♥️♥️

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend!! Get out, live life, create memories, spend time with those you love in laughter! Make every second count, because each of you matter!!

Thinking of our sweet boy today, with a grateful heart. Knowing we are lucky enough to have a love so deep, so real, that at times the grief is simply devastating!! Although the last 2 years were an adjustment, mostly for G, we remain eternally grateful to have walked every step beside him!! Crying through the tough times, celebrating the accomplishments he made, and always remembering to love each other, even through the pain and sadness. Simply thankful!!

So, next time you trip over your child’s shoes, get upset with them over chores not done, advice not taken, or maybe frustrated with his/her attitude, please remember to be thankful. Thankful your child is around to make a mess, catch up on chores, ask for advice or not, and make you smile or cry with their words!! Thankful to love someone so deeply! Because the deafening silence after they’ve left this world, will definitely make you see those things differently! ♥️💯💫

Happy Love Day, sweet boy!!

Today, we honor the love you carried, and shared with so many! Holding love through pain, grieving the loss of a future you dreamed of, and still remembering to thank every heart that ever helped you, is an amazing display of love! Proof that it is still the most precious currency, in this life! Miss you and love you beyond this life! ♥️🥹 You are our JAM! 🎶🎵

Also, happy love day to our friends, family, and all souls! Know you are worthy! ♥️

Happy Sunday, friends!!!
We hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! ♥️

The last couple of months has truly been a blur, a fog, a whirlwind of emotions! The first emotion I can remember experiencing, other than the stress, was shock! Shock that this is the new reality, and that Garett had truly transitioned from this life. The shock of it all, didn’t last long, but does resurface, at times! As if it needs to clarify things, to make sure this is reality. Of course, flowing through the shock, is the sadness, confusion, loss of purpose, and the loss of part of your identity. All of these emotions and thoughts are very real, very natural, and processing each one, will ultimately lead to healing for us. The mind has to rationalize what the soul already knows. Sometimes that looks like frustration, sometimes happiness. So you learn to have more grace with yourself, and others!

We know, without a doubt, this was Garett’s path, his soul’s journey. I’ve mentioned honoring the life and the lessons, even through the grief and the pain, but what keeps popping up, is that he was very, very sick. He was suffering daily, and when I look back through pics, I can see the decline. We become so involved in the day to day, it’s sometimes surprising when we look back. After the tragedy passes, the visitors leave, and the dust settles, our perception changes some, each day. We see things from a different lens. From day one, I knew Garett would not be in that chair forever. I knew between natural healing, and other advancements, he would walk again. And, I was right, at least about the healing/walking, just didn’t realize it would be like this!

So, although grief is still present, and sometimes I still cannot think straight, I know that Garett left this earth, wrapped in love from so many! (Even had several hospital staff, tell us, they had never seen so many loved ones present! How amazing is that??) I see the struggle he endured, after the accident, and have immense respect for the fact that, through it all, he still chose to hold love, and he always found a way to make us smile. I thank him for never giving up, and for every memory, now cherished deeply.

Also, wanted to share with you a proof of his beautiful gravestone. It is ordered!!Sure was tough, to see it in stone, so final.

Much love, my sweet boy! 🥹♥️

Happy mid-week friends!!

Just a couple of days ago, we celebrated Logan’s birthday!! Today, as I was sitting in the silence, watching Aurora sleep, my thoughts instantly drifted to Garett.

Today, I realized that it’s so strange, to celebrate holidays/birthdays, while grieving! Part of me celebrating, another part missing G, grieving. Smiling and laughing, with the grandbabies. Later, crying briefly, at the most random moments, when the best memories float into my mind! Sometimes it’s a phrase in a song, that somehow hits differently, now. Sometimes it’s something new that Aurora does, and I think, “Garett would have loved this”! 🥹 And sometimes it’s a hospital memory, that wrecks me to my core, for a bit. 😱

But, I know, the tears are healing me. Releasing pain slowly, and allowing me to live and focus on the present. Not just in the past, or stuck in the memories, where Garett lives, now! Day by day, the fog lifts a little more. I’m allowing grief, joy, pain, happiness, and love to all exist, simultaneously. And I know, without a doubt, he is always with us, and watching over his sweet baby!

There’s not a set list of instructions on grieving, each path is unique, but I know in this moment, that I AM healing. The one thing you don’t realize, is that you never return to who you were, before losing a child. It changes you, and the person on the other side of the healing, is forged through that fire and that darkness, of loss.

Throughout, all of this, I’ve had the best support from Logan, the kids, our families, and some pretty amazing friends!! I know that I am loved, and I am grateful for each of you!

On that note, this afternoon, my Mama gave me a couple of sweet surprises! Honestly, she does this pretty often!! So, today, I wanted to share my gifts, and give her a shout out! You ROCK, Mom!

And if you haven’t checked out Conscious Items Spiritual Jewelry, online, you definitely should!! ♥️✨

Update: Emery Jo has made her appearance! Healthy and hungry, weighing in at 6 # 1oz, and 19in long!

Today is a fantastic day!! 👶🥳🎊🎉

Our oldest, Macy, is in labor with baby number 4, Emery Jo!! We are over the moon, and so excited to welcome this sweet girl, into this crazy world!

It is our duty and responsibility to create a safer world for our children and grandchildren! To protect, love, and guide an innocent soul, is an honor.

So please join us, in praying, for a healthy birth, for mama and baby! And we know, without a doubt, Garett has hugged and kissed on her, already!! 🥹♥️🥰🪽

Note: I personally upscaled this little outfit for our sweet girl!!

We cannot wait to meet you, precious one!!

Well, we finally got our last Christmas gifts, to Logan’s dad and bonus mom! We only had a couple of weeks to get prepped and ready for Christmas, and making it to Missouri to celebrate, just wasn’t in the cards for us, this year! Fortunately, Papa Tim was close by at wrestling tournament, and we were able to meet up!! Sure missed seeing G-ma Tammy!

We decided to honor and include Garett, during the holiday, and we wanted everyone to leave here with something very G! When Macy had the first canvas made for me, I decided everyone needed one!! It shows his fun, silly side perfectly!! Then my brother, Justin, gifted us the beautiful, handmade crosses, that he made! We decided to order a couple more, as gifts! Memorial gifts will break you and the bank! 🤣🤣😅

This was literally the toughest, yet most heartfelt, and beautiful Christmas! We’ve always known G was the kid that loved everyone, enjoyed his family and close friends, and that, for us, the quiet void without him, would be vast!! It brings warmth to my heart, knowing that he impacted our entire family, friends, and strangers, just as much as he did us! We raised a phenomenal young man, and even though our earthly time was cut short, we respect his journey!

So, it heals my heart to see his pics, journal to him, and to talk about him. I realized quickly, that most people would like us to package our grief into a small pocket of our lives, adapt, and appear normal. But the brutal truth is this, normal doesn’t exist anymore. Not in the way we knew it. So while we adapt and share stories or thoughts about our son, be patient! We will adjust, but we won’t ever stop talking about him! Doesn’t mean we aren’t healing, in fact, once you look past the grief, you may just understand that all of this is very healthy and normal!

And last, of course, here’s our pics from Christmas!! 🥹♥️

Missing you intensely today, my son! Some days the quiet is healing, other days it gives way to the tears. But the tears are okay. They flow and release tensions, thoughts, grief.

Most days, I think of you and smile, but every now and then, a memory or thought flashes, a song you sent to me plays, and the physical loss of you, hits. There may be smooth sailing, no tears for days, then it’s a hurricane of emotions.

Honestly, though, I never lose the positives. It’s not depression, it’s simply a void. Finding constructive things to do, spending time with the babies, and talking about you, all help. Aurora smiles and I see so much of you!! That’s a gift, for sure! I am thankful you are healed, unchained, and whole. You, son, are free!!

I’ll be seeing you, kid! -Maa

While I’m on the discussion of thankful, I have to give credit where it’s due. I’m so thankful for Logan! Most don’t realize that he had to get up and go to work daily, while we were stuck at the hospital. While I was fighting to get proper care, he was worrying, and trying to function. Then driving back to OU most nights, simply because I needed him there. And he was the only one, who stood present, when they removed Garett’s breathing tube. He never left. Allowing myself, and our family, to not have to carry that memory, after such a hard decision. So, while he may not have been there, the day he took his first breath, he made sure, to be there, when you took your last!

So, thank you to my husband, for being an amazing soul!! Thank you for being the best bonus dad, and loving all of us, equally! I see you, I feel your heart, and I love you!!

Garett,

This evening as many are preparing to celebrate the new year, I realized something. I realized that although our ending, for 2025, was tragic in every way, it was also the last time we heard your voice, your laugh, felt your hugs! The last call, visit, talk.. simply the last. It will always be the last year of memories made with you, present! And that hits hard, tonight!

We miss you so much, sweet boy, but we know you are present in spirit, connected to us through love, and you’ve received the ultimate healing!! No chair, no pain, and no body that has betrayed you, anymore. You have been freed of the weight, and chains of this life! And for that, we are eternally thankful.

This year we won’t have your funny responses to quiplash questions, or your sighs, as you lose a hand of Up & Down, or any of the other crazy games we’ve played, but we do have the memories. So many precious memories! And tonight, we are choosing to focus on the good times. This video is one of my favorites! ♥️🥹

So while others are out tonight, enjoying the festivities, we’ll be here watching a movie and holding back the tears. 2025 was rough, but meaningful in every way. We will always cherish getting the chance to be with you, daily! And just as Christmas was bittersweet, with one less name, seeing the chapter called 2025, close without you present, physically, feels very much the same. Bitter and sweet.

Happy New Year, G!
Love you, Maa!
