"Time is the only thing that eases the pain..."

 (Tress at my grandma's (Christan Community Home) with a pumpkin my mom painted)

Thinking of Tress a lot today. I had an english project to do so I took out some of the art supplies of Tress' that I have. I miss her so much. She was always so encouraging of my artistic talents (which I dont have many, haha) I really miss her support today. In April it will be a year... man how time flies. Some days it just doesn't seem real. But time is easing my pain. 

I miss her kind smile, her caring  personality, and her loving heart the most. She was always there if you wanted to talk, or take you to a Jonas Brothers Concert. (: She was one special lady that I will never forget. I hope heaven is treating her well, she deserves it after all she went through. I love thinking of all my memories with Tress. But sadly as time goes on the memories  become vague. I wish she would just call our home phone to talk to Twi, just so I could answer it and hand the phone to Twi. I would do anything to just to have a few short words with her. Basically I just don't want the memories to fade...

Love, Gabes

"And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation." -Kahlil Gibron

Hello everyone! Sorry its been awhile. I haven't had much to post recently. Yesterday was two years since Gig (My grandma, Tress' mom) passed away. I can't believe it that its already been two years. Time does fly.

Last Sunday the Packers won the Superbowl! Tress would be so proud, she was a big Packer fan! Go Pack Go!

FFA has kept me really busy. Februray has been a really busy month so far. Lots of preparing for Spring. I'm excited for Spring, especially summer! I'm sick of this cold weather! It was -13 degrees today when I arrived at school... BRRRRR! Hmm... well that's about it for now. I hope all is well with everyone! I will write again soon!

Love,

"Cause country strong hard to break like the ground I grew up on you may fool me and I'll fall but I won't stay down long because I'm country strong." -Country Strong, The movie

Hello Everyone! Sorry its been awhile. I haven't really had much to post about. My FFA conference last weekend went really well! I met a few new friends! I had an act prep class today, and I did some more community service for my FFA State Degree. That's about it. I have finals coming up this week, ick! I suppose I should study for them, but we'll see about that! I am excited though to start a new semester and start fresh! And there is a lot of good things in the spring to look forward to. Like spring break and prom! I'm really excited for prom especially! I went last year and it was a blast! I've already started looking at dresses online! (:

I still miss Tress like crazy. I've noticed that as time goes by I don't cry as much. I'm really really starting to accept it now. It will be one year in April. When you think about it, time goes by slow but then you look at the calender and its already January 15th 2011, crazy. I will try and post again when I have more to write about!

Love,

Gabes

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven; A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance." Ecclesiastes 3:1,2,4

Hello everyone, I'm sitting in class and I felt the need to post. I know time is what heals grief but some days are way harder than others. I love to read inspiring quotes about anything. And I always try to find a good one to attach to a post. And I thought this quote was pretty neat. I am a quote stalker. (: It's one of my favorite things to do in my spare time!

I was also wondering how many people are keeping up with this blog? I don't get comments hardly any more! And I really enjoy reading the comments. I love to hear from ATCSFORALL so if your reading this please post a comment how you know Tweety, because this blog was mainly a way for myself to keep in touch with ATCSFORALL. Since they wouldn't allow me to post on their memorial fourm. So how many of you ATCSFORALL followers are out there? Please let me know! Thanks!

"You can't go home again"-- isn't necessarily that places change, but that people do. So nothing ever looks the same... -Before I Fall

 

Happy 2011 Everyone! I'm very saddened that my Christmas break is over! :( It went by waaaayy to fast! I was not ready to leave my bed this morning! One more week of break would have been wonderful and much needed! I guess now I start looking forward to Spring Break in early March! (And a new niece as well!)

I hope 2011 is a good year where I don't have to grieve over a loved one. 2009 I lost 2 loved ones, and 2010 I lost Tress. No more loosing loved ones! I miss them every day, more and more... Other than that quick update not much else has been going on in my life. So I'll try to post again soon!

 

Happy 2011,

Gabes

"There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go." ~Author Unknown

Hello Everyone! I hope your holidays were great. This year Christmas didn't feel like Christmas. Our traditional thing would be to go to Tress' and celebrate at her house. But this year we went to my uncle Brian's house- we've never celebrated there before, so it didn't feel quite the same. Overall though it was a good Christmas.

I've been enjoying my Christmas break and I don't want it to end! So much to do, so little time. Yesterday I celebrated my one year anniversary with my boyfriend, Kody. We went out to eat in Stillwater. Today I was at school with my FFA advisor and a few team members working on some of our personal projects. I had a very productive day working on my State Degree. (Its the second highest degree in FFA you can hold) I just have to figure out some small details and check all my spelling then its going to be revised by another advisor of another FFA chapter over a conference I'm attending in Stevens Point January 7-8th. Then after I make more changes I send it in to our Section State officer so she can revise it and so on. To some it up, its a long process, if you couldn't tell, haha. And now I was working on my semester project for my Meteorology class. Overall it was a VERY productive day! In a bit we're going out to eat with our neighbors!

That's pretty much all I've been up too, just enjoying my Christmas break! I don't want it to end! Well I better wrap up my project, I will write soon!

Love,

Gabes

"It's your first birthday in Heaven..."

It's your first birthday in Heaven

I know you're happy there
It just doesn't seem possible
Time has gone by so fast.

You're surrounded by those loved ones
Who left you so long ago
And you're watching over those you left
Smiling down from above.

It's your first birthday in Heaven
It doesn't feel right that this is so.
You should be here with your friends and family
Who all miss you as we do

Time stands still when realization hits
You've gone on to a better place
You're healthy and happy again...
But you're presence on Earth can never be replaced

It's your first birthday in Heaven
The first of many more yet to come
And though you're gone in body
Your spirit will forever live on.

Today will not be the same without you, the festivities haven't even begun and the tears have already been shed. Everyone will be thinking of you tonight, I hope you have a wonderful birthday in Heaven this year.

Love,

Gabes
