4th Anniversary

I can't believe I have not posted here for a year. I guess that is a good thing. I have thought about things to post, but then never have done it. It certainly isn't because I am "over" their deaths. I still think of them so often. I will never get "over" anything. You just move on, I guess.

Today I posted about this day on Facebook. Many people made comments and I appreciate them all. Here are some of my favorites that I would like to share:

Karl Moore You, Joe, John and the rest of the family are in my thoughts today Susie.

Michelle Ingram Sanders I think of your parents whenever I drive out towards Jasper... wishing you many good memories today.

Elissa Mason Wonderful people! You and your family are in my prayers. Hope all is well!

Melissa Gater Pinney Awwww, such a good picture. Your mom was so sweet when she used to call when we had tornado warnings. Such a nice lady. You were blessed to have such wonderful parents. I'm so sorry for your loss.

Sami Ragsdale Seems like yesterday. You were blessed with wonderful parents. Praying for you today.

Meg Padgett My thoughts and prayers are with you! I will always remember your parents as beautiful role models in my faith life.

Matthew Robbins I love you Susie Breidenbach and I'm definitely keeping you and your family in my thoughts today.

Allisong Smith Love to you Susie. They must have been awesome cuz they made you.

Ruth Rauch I'm thinking of you today Susie. I know your parents are still a caring and loving presence in your life.

Mark Breidenbach Rest in peace Uncle Paul and Aunt Betty....

John Breidenbach I paused and prayed for them around 1:50 p.m. This was the approximate time of their death. I am celebrating Mass tonight for them.

Barbara Breidenbach Matson Wow..I can't believe it has been that long!! I love you Cousin and I know they are looking down on you and are so proud of their daughter!! ♥

Trish Frazier Wooten I hope your day is filled with great memories and lots of smiles, Susie. I cannot imagine losing both parents at the same time.. they must have held hands all the way to Heaven.

Judy Breidenbach We miss them so often in the everyday things.

Jonna Dunst I keep their memory alive by telling the girls little stories about their Great Grandma and Great Grandpa when they cross my mind. I showed them this very picture just this weekend and reminded them that they are Papaw's mom and dad.

Christie Deckard Maddox Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Your parents were wonderful people who I am sure gave you many wonderful memories to treasure. Luv Ya

Cheryl Fields and Kim Wheeler again sent cards. They are so kind and thoughtful to remember.

At times, it feels like it happened yesterday. If I let myself think about that horrible, horrible day....I just cannot do it. It is too upsetting. But, I have come a long way and I think they would be proud of me.

I still think of them so often. How can I not? I live in their home which hasn't changed much. Yesterday, I had a woodpecker on my suet feeder and I thought of Mom. That would make her happy. We've had a lot of snow this year. Every time we have an advisory or anything, it reminds me of Mom and Dad. Mom was always watching the weather. Dad was always fretting over the cold weather. He couldn't deal with it. Tonight we're getting down to around zero. He would be worried about the pipes and leave the water on. I was putting clean sheets on my bed tonight. I have Mom and Dad's bedroom suite with bedding included...so when I change the bed, I think of Mom going to Penney's and buying all this stuff.

Sometimes I think maybe it was too hard living here with so many reminders and memories...but I am still glad I am here.

Love you and miss you, Mom and Dad.
