Well today is my birthday, along with my twin sister... we both shared our day with our mom. What a birthday gift, twins.
This is for you mom, with all my LOVE and remembrance.

"ALWAYS REMEBER JACKSON"

April 9, 2008 - June 23, 2009

Tomorrow is going to be a very tough day, Jackson will be gone

1 year...my heart still aches. What can I do, the suffering goes on.

I watch my son and daughter-in-law how they grieve in silence.

We can only live one day at a time. Jackson,

we all love you and that will never end.

Joel's Birthday

So Saturday was Joel's birthday so we drove down from Crystal Springs to head to another pool, Roy Aquatic. As you can see Joel got a lot of neat stuff and everyone went swimming, for us it was more swimming. OWell we had a great time and Crystal made the best cake.

Mom and Joel opening gifts.

Seth looking on.

Dad in the center, boy this is his element. LOL

Taylar looking as grandma, what a ham.

More presents........

Wow mom I got what I wanted...

Nice job Crystal decorating Joel's cake, it tasted AWESOME !!!!

Crystal Springs

We took the weekend to go to Crystal Springs, haven't been there in many years. Hasn't changed much but Seth and Taylar spent Friday night and we have a ball at the pool.

What a husband I have, everytime we go on vacation I have to take a picture of what he is pulling. CRAZY.......

Birthday

As it gets closer to your birthday Jackson I can't keep you off my mind. I wonder how you would react to presents and all the hoopla, I wonder how you would enjoy your cake and ice cream, and I wonder how the smiles on Mom and Dads face told the entire story?

You would have been two and I can only imagine that you would be talking up a storm and giving big brother a run for him money.

I will keep you in my soul and never let you go. My heart if filled with Jackson except for the part you took to heaven with you. I feel the pain each and every day.

Love Grandma Beano (Thackeray)

Jackson

Thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new. I thought about you yesterday, and days before that too. I think of you in silence, I often speak your name. All I have are memories and a picture in a frame. Your memory is a keepsake, with which I'll never part. God has you in his keeping, I have you in my heart.

IN MEMORY

It has been almost a year since my last blog, and life has handed our family some serious trials and devastation in the worst of ways. June 2009 I lost my youngest grandchild Jackson S. Thackeray due to a tragic accident....

Sometimes I wonder just what the lord has planned for us or why we are tested in such ways.

This truly amazing 14 month old little boy was a gift from GOD, full of smiles and love.

Through Jackson I have grown a stronger faith, life is short we need to live it to the fullest.

On that June day I lost a corner of my heart and gained an ANGEL in heaven.

I will see Jackson again and when I do we will have a joyous reunion.

My heart now is with my son and his wife (Sharee), they need our support and understanding.

THIS IS FOR JACKSON for we will see you again.
