April 8, 2012 I Want! Five Years! How can that much time pass and it only seem like yesterday. I want so much to touch your face, so that you can tell me, "Mom please, you are invading my personal space". I want to smell your hair so you can say, "Mom, and lean away". I want to see you roll your eyes when I ask you to do something, and then you walk away like you never heard a word I said. I want to see you stand in your bathroom fixing your hair. I want to walk in your bedroom so I can hear you say, "Can you knock?". I want be able to tell you turn the radio station, because I don't care for that music. I want to be able to tell you to be home by a certain time. I want to be able to give you a hug. I want to be able to give you a kiss. I want to be able to tell you I love you face to face. I want to be able to talk to you about the party you went to. I want to be able to just sit and hold you in my arms and never let you go. I want to go shopping with you. I want..... There are a lot more I wants, but they will have to be only I wants. Because 5 years ago today at 10:25 p.m., you were taken home to be with Jesus. I know the things you are experiencing is nothing compared to what this earth as to offer us. I long to be with you in heaven. But, for know I have to forfill the purpose God has for me here. I will have settle for the I wants and sweet memories that is in my heart of the wonderful daughter you were. I miss you more than words can ever say. I love you! Mommy.
January 19, 2012 I wanted to say thank you Baby Girl for letting me and your dad know that your presence is still with us. When we went to Tampa, in front of the hotel was this beautiful piece of art in the shape of a heart and on top of the heart was this beautiful butterfly. Then we arrived in Cozumel, Mexico, and as we were crossing the street from their version of a Wal-Mart, in front of us flew this beautiful butterfly. Why is this so amazing people may ask, and the reason is, the butterfly was the only thing flying around except for the cars on the street. Dad and I love you and miss you.
December 7, 2011 I have finised the memory quilt I was woking on. I will post the pictures to the photo section. I know Tori would have loved it.
September 16, 2011 Hello Baby Girl, I wnated to let you know that Norma and I are making a quilt with your T-shirts and a few other things. I hope you will like it. I know that it will bring dad and I comfort and keep the memories we have of you in our hearts, as if those memories would ever fade away. I miss and love you. Mommy. August 12,2010 As we all can see is that another birthday year has passed us by. It is hard to believe that you my Pooh Bear would be 18 years of age this year. I am sure you would be planning on going to college somewhere, and that decision would have been yours to make with Daddy and I giving you gudiance. Daddy and I don't celebrate birthdays anymore. Daddy says, if Tori can not celebrate a birthday neither am I. I can completely understand his thinking and point. I know you are having an awesome time in heaven, but I ask that Jesus will allow you to show your presence to us. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABYGIRL!!! Love Mommy and Daddy:)
July 24, 2010 Hey Baby Girl, I heard a song today that reminded me of you. The song reminded me of the day that you were taken from us. The song brought comfort and peace during the raging of the storm . I know that this song will always remind me of you, and always brings me comfort and peace. The song that I am writing about is Priase You In The Storm, by Casting Crowns. There are a number of sounds that will always remind me of you. I miss and love you so much. Love Mommy.
May 27, 2010 Well Baby Girl, it is nine o'clock on Thursday night. I think of how you would have walked across the stage to receive your Highschool Diploma all dressed in your cap and gown. I want you to know that me and your dad would be so proud of you. Daddy and I miss you and love you so much. Love Mommy.
May 11, 2010 The third annual "Tori Asbell Spirit" Award was presented tonight to Brunswick High Freshman, Jessica Jenkins. Congratulations Jessica!
May 1, 2010 It is so hard to beleive that it has been three years now since you left our lives. I have missed you so much these past several months. I have thought a lot about, with this being your Senior year, of what type of dress you would be wearing to the prom, and where you would go to have your makeup done and of all the things that should be happening this year. I think. I am starting to see rays of sunshine after several years of darkness, and I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for that. I have herd a new song recently titled "Save a Place For Me", the song is so meaningful to me that it is hard to beleive that I smile and cry at the same time when I hear it on the radio. The smile is for knowing where you are and the tears are for sadness that you are no longer with us. I trust God and the promise that he has for me and know that the sadness that I feel today will not compare to the joy that is coming. I miss you and love you so much. Mommy.
January 1, 2010 Well it is a New Year without you. Even though, we are reminded that this was going to be your Senior year of highschool. I know that we would have loved nothing more to have you hear with us, but instead we will have to keep you in our hearts and do everything to keep your spirit and memory alive, which I don't think that is going to be a problem. I pray that we will be able to gather the strength to make it one more year, and hope that we will be able to smile with the memories that we have in our hearts. I know there will be times when tears will fall and that is okay, because I know that those tears will always fall. Whether it will be day by day, week by week, month by month or even year by year, those will be tears of missing you, joy, comfort and peace. I know that everyone will not see it that way, but I know that you are at home with Jesus and the visions and dreams that I have been given is comforting for me. Things are not the same and they will never be the same, and we are going to have to figure out the best way to carry on with life even when we don't think we can go on. Please remember that we love and miss you so much. I pray that the Lord Jesus Christ will always be with us to guide us to do what needs to be done so that we make it home to see you again. Love Mommy.
December 16, 2009 Hello Baby Girl, I was so comforted to know that the Annual Staff at Brunswick High dedicated a page of the Year Book in your honor. I know that you will never be forgotten, because you were lived by so many people and friends. With love, Mommy.
December 3, 2009 Hello Baby Girl, I wanted to let you know that Daddy and I have missed you a lot this Thanksgiving and Christimas coming up, but you know we miss you everyday. The holidays will never be the same again. I know that you are not here with us, but you are in our hearts forever. I hope that you will be looking down on us from heaven. I know what the true meaning of Christmas is and that is what I will be remembering the birth of my Lord and Savior that came into this world as a little babe. Love Mommy.
October 15, 2009 Hello Baby Girl. Daddy and I found out Tuesday night that your name was among the Top 10 in the Homecoming Court for BHS. It made Mommy feel proud, but at the same time it made me sad. I can just picture us going out the week or weekend before to find you a gown to wear for the event. Then we would go and have your hair, nails and makeup done Friday before the game, because you would have gotten out of school early. I think how our Mom and daughter relationship would have been different by know. I know that Daddy was thinking how he would be walking you across the field that night. I think of you often. But, it is moments like this that makes me want you hear with us and to know how things would have been for you in high school. I see things everyday that in some small way reminds me of you, and the picture of you that appears in my mind is your beautiful smiling face. With all my love, Mommy.
October 7, 2009 Daddy and I thought of you two football games ago. Ms. Carol the lady that use to cut our hair was sitting in front of us at the footaball game. Her nice was sitting a couple of seats down from her. Daddy lend over and said, "Look at the girl down there, from the side she looks just like Tori." My reply was yep, you are right. And the funny thing is that in the face she did not look like you, but from the side it was so true. I know that that is Gods way of letting us know that you are still with us in spirit, and for always in our hearts. I wanted to share this with you Baby Girl. Love, Mommy.
August 12, 2009 I thought of you this evening, because of the thunder storm that we are having. I know that you loved it when it would rain. I know that you are riding the rain drops. August 11, 2009 I hope you liked the balloon that I placed today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Baby Girl. Love Mommy. July 3, 2009 Hello Babygirl, I remember having this wonderful dream about you last night. I don't remember to much about it, but you were about 3 or 4 years old. It was a good dream, because you were dressed in a costume and laughing. And then, I remember waking up with a smile on my face. Thank you. Love Mommy. June 19, 2009 I just wanted you to know baby girl that I thougt of you this week. I was smiling, because I know where you are and the kind of life that you have there. Please know that I will never stop thinking of you, and you will always be in my heart. I want to say thank you for visiting daddy in a dream. I know that it made him sad, but I know that you came to him to give him comfort. Thank you for not forgetting about me and daddy while you are away. I love you and miss you. Mommy. May 12, 2009 The second annual "Tori Asbell Spirit" Award was presented tonight to Brunswick High Freshman, Kristen Brooks. May 8, 2009 I have missed you a lot this past week Baby Girl, which is always a ongoing pain. I think that is the fact that Mothers Day is near. I have thought about the last Mother's Day card that you gave me. No matter what anyone may say, Mother's Day will never be that special day for me any longer, because you are not here for me to see the kind of mother I was to you. I would love to see your smile. I love and miss you so much. Love, Mommy.
March 25,2009 I watched a short video of you last night. I needed to see your face and hear your voice. And as I looked at the video, the grief came to the surface as I remembered the night that you were taken away for me and your Dad. I think of you often and I know that will never change, but I smile because I know the place where you have gone and I feel joy because I will be with you someday. There are days like today that if I even think of you or look at your picture my heart aches and the tears start to fall. You will never leave my heart and you will always be with me. I miss you so. Mommy.
February 26, 2009 I thought of you today baby girl as I was coming back from lunch. There was a girl crossing the street that had your color of hair and it reminded me of what you may look like today and it made me smile and sad at the same time. I love you! Mommy. January 17, 2009 I thought of you often today baby girl. My heart broke when Daddy and I where in Wal-Mart today. I realized that Valentines Day is getting near because I noticed that Wal-Mart is getting all their supplies out. The heart shaped pillow brought back memories. I remembered that I always gave you a stuffed animal or pillow for Valentines Day along with candy. There are still days that this does not seem real and then reailty sets in and once again my heart sinks with pain. I do miss you so much. I will always love you. I cannot wait till the day when we meet and spend the rest of our lives in heaven together forever.
December 29, 2008 Thanks be to God we were able to make it another Christmas. The trip to Las Vegas was not what we really expected, but I don't know how much you can expect from a place that is referred to as "sin city". The part of the trip that was most memoriable was the Rocky Mountains and seeing the Grand Canyon as we flew out. This trip seemed so odd. We both said that Tori would not have enjoyed it because there was nothing that she would have been able to do. This Christmas and christmas past has felt not like a holiday. It is hard to try and find ways that you can move forward with new traditions. I know that the holidays will never be the same . I can say that I know the true meaning of Christmas. The little baby boy that was born that night in the manger. May God's blessings continue to be with you all.
December 19, 2008 I must say that this Holiday season has been the hardest yet for me. I have come to the conculsion that it is part of the reality that has set in. The holidays will never be the same and there will always be a void that can not be filled. I have missed my "baby girl" more that ever since November to the present date. Christmas time is hard, because we always had our routine of going out to IHOP for breakfast on Christmas morning every year. We have not put a Christmas Tree up for two years now. I don't know if I will ever be able to again. The decorations for our tree symbolized our life as a family. Rob and I are trying our best to start new traditions. Last year at Christmas we went on a cruise. This year we are going on another trip. I know that God will be with us always to give us the comfort and strength that we need each day. I hope everyone that reads this entry will have a very Merry Christmas.
August 10, 2008 Well baby girl this is the day before the most wonderful day of your life. The big Sixteenth Birthday. I wanted to let you know that Mommy had big plans for this day. I wanted you to have the most wonderful birthday party ever and I was going to do everything in my power to make it happen for you. I wanted this birthday to be a day for you to always remember, and it is very hard for me to know that you are not going to get to have that special day or even be able to remember it. I will always love you and you will forever be in my heart. I know you are having a glorious party in heaven one that is more wondeful than the one here on earth but it would be even better if you were here with us on this day. Happy Birthday!!! Mommy loves you.
It will be only a few days till the one year anniversy of the loss of our "baby girl". There are days that it seems like it was yesterday and then there are days that seems like it has been forever. We are trying to find a way to adjust to our new lives without filling guilty for doing so, but we have no idea of how to adjust because it is so hard to even think of doing so. Things in Tori's room are still untouched, and I don't know when we will get around to doing anything with it but I do know that we will take our time and we will know when the time is right. There are times that I know that Tori's is still with us, because I can go into a room and her scent will be there and whenever it rains I think of how she is riding the rain drops and jumping for one to the other. We miss her more that words can say. I do thank God everyday because He has provided me and my family with comfort, peace and strength. I'm anticipating the day when I see Tori again face to face and give her the hug of a life time and never let her go and when I get to where I am going (to my heavenly home) that will be a day like no other. June 7,2008 I wanted to share with you of a way that God and Tori let me know that she is still with us. I was standing out in my drive way about two weeks ago looking up at the beautiful blue sky and feeling the cool breeze blow. As I lowered my eyes from the sky there right in front of me flew a beautiful solid white butterfly. I all my years living in the south I have never seen a solid white butterfly. As it pasted in front of me I said "thank you baby girl and my Lord and Savior". June 8, 2008 I had the most wonderful picture shown to me by God. I was out in the front yard admiring my rose bushes, and there was this black butterfly not a whole lot of color along the bottom of its wings. The butterfly went from rose bush to rose bush as if it was looking for nectur. On the new rose bush that I had bought on Saturday the butterfly has opened it wings and on the bottom part of its wings was white and it looked like angels wings. I know that was God's way of letting me know that Tori is an angel in heaven with Him. July 5, 2008 Me and Tori's dad has not been in a very good place for several days, but we know that those moments are going to happen from time to time. This 4th of July was not a complete on as all of our holidays are not complete, but thank God that He faithful and get us through them. We went over to a neighbors house for a cookout Friday afternoon. As we were sitting there watching others as they took their turn at karokoke, I saw this wonderful butterfly come by and it made a smile come to my face, because I knew that was my baby girl letting me know that she was near and in an instant I felt a moment of comfort. Tori is not with us here on earth but she is with us in spirit. I thank God on the days that He sends signs little as they may seem to me when I need them the most. God is awesome!
