MOONLIGHT MADNESS!!!! I think that was the highlight of the summer...Mom and Dad would sit on the porch and drink beer and watch old ladies fight in the alley...i remember trying to convince Dad to let Mom narrow the alley...that would have made things more interesting...I remember Mom calling into K105 so they'd play Jose Cuervo for me...and everytime I hear that song, I think of Moonlight Madness and how much fun we had watching the chaos and carnage...old ladies can get evil over some pork loin...the day in the church parking lot when Mom Dad, and JJ were trying to teach me to parallel park was so funny...I also recall JJ hanging out the car window and screaming....(it wasn't as bad as he made it seem) but I also remember Mom yelling at a truck full of guys that I was a bad driver....Dad was getting a little frustrated with me, but he kept laughing at all the "Ashley's a bad driver jokes"   I hadn't thought about that in a long time...

Do you guys remember Dad and Jim Barringer's "walks around town" doing "stuff"? I couldn't have been much of a "health walk" because Dad would be smoking a cigarette and Jim would be drinking a Pepsi?

Oh mom, Moonlight madness was soo much fun.  We would always get soo excited for cars to almost crash.  I think that was the only day that you two stayed up passed 8 oclock.  I remember rolling in at 11 or 12 and think oh my goodness mom and john are still up and i was supposed to be home 2 hours ago.  You guys never got mad at me though.  Oh those were the days.  I sure do miss them too.  I think about it everyday.  It easier though and I think that everything turned out okay...for ALL of us and I know he is watching us and helping us along the journey.  Love!  520 rides on the ships of heaven...

He loved "Doug & MaryAnn" on K105.  I remember he'd go to promotions and talk them out of t-shirts.  And there was the time we called to have them play Jose Cuervo for Ashley to hear.  He'd always call in to the contests, and won a couple of them.  And we loved to watch people crashing in the alley during Thornes' moonlight madness sales...he'd never let me go move blocks to make the alleyway more narrow. And remember us "trying" to teach Ashley to drive and JJ hanging out of the car window and making John & I laugh while Ashley drove in circles. And everywhere he went he'd try to finagle a hat. Oh,  how much I miss him.

I soo remember when John made that guy fall asleep at the bar and yes I remember when we hit that pole.  Mom you are too cute!  I do remember that no matter how many beers John had in his...he could always hit the bullseye at least once when playing darts.  He was always so good at that game.  Even when we were at the eagles he still kicked ass!  He was a very talented man and yes he did love those teeth!!  Much love!

I just thought of another one...when ever i would go to the vets...or the lounge...or any bar for that matter with Daddy...he'd have a beer or two...then somehow it turned we would play the "one more then we"ll go"  game for about and hour or two....finally, he'd run out of quarters to give me for the touch screen thing then we'd have to go home....

 

remember when Daddy talked joe to sleep at the bar???

I do remember that day we hit the pole in the s-10...i actually have a picture of him after we told him...i thought it was cute how he tried to be mad but he just couldn't yell at us....i always enjoyed how he couldn't even go on the front porch without putting his teeth in...i remember Mom and I had to take him to get a battery for the buick and he had to go back into the house to get his teeth....God forbid that man not have his teeth...he hated my tongue ring too...i would stick out my tongue and he would flash me his teeth...oh, how i do miss him....

 

520 FOREVER!!!!

I remeber the sign about turning the gas on, and mom..you were too cute as the deer in headlights!  I remeber John making up his own words, i can remeber any of the except matt Kensmith, haah!  and when we used to yell Sterling stay in your car, and how john would fall asleep in the brown recliner in the living room to the weather channel.  Oh how he made us all smile.  I miss him so much guys, i know its hard for all of us.  I always think though, that he walks with me and when im alone in the car...hes in the passenger seat..watching me and making sure im safe.  Never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly.  Love!  520 forever!

Do you girls remember when we had to go out to his worksite to tell him that I had backed the S-10 into a pole at the BP station?!  I hadn't thought about the signs we made for him and the motorcycle in a long time.  How we loved to tease him...and how he loved for us to tease him.  Like the day he got cornered on the street by Donny Latine and Bobby Dinger...and he talked THEIR ears off!!!

Well Daddy, I just wanted to let you know that I'm doing ok...I have a man in my life that I love almost as much as you. You will always be the #1 man in my life...Please continue to stay by my side. I needed you back then, and I still need you now...I love you Dad!!!    Love, your Short Shit, Ashley

 

 

520 FOREVER!!!!

 

 

PS  Tell Grandma and Grandpa I love them and miss them...

With my tear stains on my hoodie sleeve (maybe some snot too) I'm writing this to thank Casey and Mom for putting this together...I love you guys so much and include you both in my prayers everynight...Always remember that Daddy is watching over us and is always with us....

 

 

520 FOREVER!!!!

I'll never forget the day Daddy got Ms Harley...he took Mom for a ride around town...it was so cute to see them on that bike...(even though Mom looked like a deer in head lights)... We had to make a big sign to remind him to turn the gas on so he wouldn't run out by the time he got to the stop sign....  I miss you Daddy and I think about you everyday...There's not a day that goes by that I don't thank for you being with me protecting me and guiding me through this crazy thing we call life...and I want to thank you for sending Mike to me...I know you chose him for me because I can't imagine a better man to take care of me...other than you...

 

520 FOREVER!!!!

I remember that Daddy had a way of creating his own words...and you couldn't help but look at him and think he was the cutest thing in the world...and his impressions of people he worked with always made me laugh...I miss you Daddy...and you were, are, and always will be my hero....I love you.....

 

 

520 FOREVER!!!!

 

Casey, this is for you from John...remember how good it felt when he wrapped us up in a great big bear hug... He would know how bad you felt losing Lucky, and would hug you.  "There must be a heaven for animals we love, They are not human, but they bring out our humanity... Each day they teach us little lessons in trust and steadfast affection, Whatever heaven may be, there is surely a place in it  for friends as good as these."

Just thought of another story.... to sir with love.  That was a funny day.  Mom and Ashley and JJ know what that means but i will swear to this day that I did NOT leave that for John to find, not did I write the note.  Noone believed me though, but thats okay it was just too funny!!

So I had a hard realization today, It's 2007 already.  It had almost been four years...four, very very long years.  And you know what, there has not been one day that I have not thought of you John.  Ashley and Mom and JJ think of you every day too!  Its not always sad, i just think of funny things or different things that you have said.  Its funny because I will randomly remember a day like five years ago that I havent thought of in years and I will remember it because you either said or did something funny or silly.  Sometimes though I just can't help but miss you and have a couple of tears drop.  I hope your okay, love you...so much...
