Six Years

 

Rev. James William Caviness, Jr.

July 2, 1941 - April 5, 2017

From the very beginning 

to the very end,

I always felt like he 

was my very best friend.

I will forever be grateful 

he was my daddy.

I miss him so much.

30 Years

 30 years ago today,

I met my Rob.

A first date

a couple of weeks later

led to a whirlwind of love.

Even though his death 

ended our love story 

a lot earlier than I ever anticipated,

I will always be grateful

that I met my Rob

and that we had as many years 

as we did!

55

Accepted!

 Today,

both of my sons found out

they have been accepted

I am so proud of them both!!!

64

 

Dear My Rob,

You would be 64 years old today.

We went out to eat to remember your birthday

and our kids and I had a good time together.

Anna, Wesley, Luke, and I called and talked with Crystol 

while playing checkers after dinner.

She was playing Mario.

We were all remembering you.

We have all made our own peace with your death

but we all still miss you.

You and I left each other notes on our bathroom mirror

on a regular basis. In fact, when you died, I didn't take down that 

last note until the week we had to move out of the parsonage.

Our Luke leaves me notes on the mirror.

He's been doing it for a while now.

He summed up what I wanted for us pretty well on today's note:

"It would be/is Daddy's birthday today. 

I hope we all have a good day

celebrating the life he lived, 

the ways God used him, 

and the impact he had on us."

And we did.

We had a good day.

And I know you would be happy we did.

Love,

Your Janna

I'm posting lots of photos so the kids and I can all smile at the memories.

Hope they make you smile, too!

I will also post links to what I've written before on Rob's birthdays

in case you would like to read them or see more photos.
