I miss how it used to be I hope your up there happy and flying free I will always wish you were still here with me I miss how it used to be This is not how I envisioned your life to be You were never supposed to go before me I miss how it used to be You missed out on the things you wanted to see It still doesn't seem fair to me I miss how it used to be I can only imagine what you’d be like at 24 But, instead your forever 16 I miss how it used to be You didn't get to finish being a teen Im sorry for all the times that I was mean Hope you've forgiven me I miss how it used to be You being born was the best thing to happen to me The day you left was soul crushing I miss how it used to be Forever missing a piece of me I pray to see you in my dreams A glimpse of you would be so sweet I miss how it used to be You were such a blessing to me had the coolest personality and turned out so wonderfully You were growing into a young man so beautifully I miss how it used to be Tyjai and Jayden work together now wish you were here to see You have a sister now and her name is Avery Im sorry you didnt get to meet I miss how it used to be I still think of you everyday and miss you in all I do silently I picture the day we are together again in harmony that to me that will feel heavenly I miss how it used to be All I can do is wait for that day patiently To be back together as a whole family Like how it used to be I miss how it used to be I hope your up there happy and flying free Make sure to save me a seat until God calls for me
Let the memory of Jordan be with us forever.
Jordan was born on 11/11 and passed away on the 11th. 11/11/11 he turned 11 and at 11:11 he had an alarm set in his phone that said “make a wish”. The number 11 symbolizes the spiritual messenger. When you see the #11 it is said to mean that its a message of blessings from your guardian angel. It also means to focus on positive thinking and make the most out of every season in your life. That, I can say Jordan did!
Jordan was very loved and here are some things his friends and loved ones said about him…
“He knew what life was about” “Jordan knew how to touch everyones heart” “He was amazing” “Everyone liked him” “He was a good boy, a good young man” “He was a very likable guy who made everybody’s day better” “He was the type of person everybody wanted to know” “His affection toward everybody made everybody feel better” “His smile got everybody” “He was close to so many people” “He pushed me and I pushed him” “For him it was about getting better in weight training and in football” “He was a hard worker” “Jordan was the type of person you would strive to be” “He was a good friend of mine” “He was always there to talk to” “He was someone you could have deep conversations with” “He was the type of person you couldn’t stay away from” “He was like sunshine in your day” “He was always excited when he hit a new max weight in weight training” “He was amazing” “He was very beautiful” “He really had the most gorgeous blue eyes ever” “He knew how to touch everyone’s heart” “He connected with everyone” “He had a great personality” “He was always smiling and kind” “One of the guys everyone liked” “Friendly to all” “Sweet soul” “He was a high quality best friend” “I miss Jordan and our crazy adventures” “Jordan was a sweet soul” “Thank you for blessing everyone’s lives and touching everyone’s life the way you did.

It’s not just birthdays or holidays that hurt It’s the moments in between them too Everyday you think of your child. Everyday, no matter how many years have passed you will always wish they were still with you Family vacations arent the same Your heart skips a beat when you hear their name Staying up at night thinking of all the things you missed out on Listening to music especially their favorite songs Wondering who they would be today What you could have differently to change what happened that day It’s glancing at their room and expecting to hear their voice Knowing the angels are lucky to have them hoping they rejoiced It’s holding onto their hoodie because it still smells like them Keeping your mind busy so you dont go insane Watching their siblings have a broken heart and no clue how to be there for them Hoping that no matter how young they were when they left that they will always remember them It’s hearing a song on the radio that triggers you especially one that was played at their funeral It’s scrolling through old photos, torn between smiling and breaking down Wondering if you let them down while they were still around It’s leaving their room exactly how it was, because moving anything feels impossible Wanting to join them as quickly as possible It’s pretending you’re “fine” when the world asks how you’re doing Remembering their happiness from every Thanksgiving It’s the ache of realizing time moves forward, but your child stays the same age The only way you can visit them is by going to their grave Its wishing desperately that you had more time with them, wishing you could still help all their dreams come true Wondering do they miss us too Hoping for signs from Heaven or a dream with them in it Knowing they were angels before they were Heaven sent Searching for them in the clouds and stars, wondering if they know how much they are missed and deeply loved Changing out flowers on their headstone On days thats its even freezing cold Seeing their friends grow up and have families of their own Being happy for them but we miss out on so many milestones Its a hole in our heart where laughter and love once lived They had such a bright future but their life was short lived Mom shame of not being there enough when they were still alive Memories of teaching them how to drive Knowing that driving a vehicle also claimed their life The early days after their loss is a blur and then as the years pass by it feels more real you just miss them more and more You have to come to terms that they arent coming back although you would do anything if they could Loving their heart because it was just pure good Feeling guilty when you have your first laugh after they left No matter how good of Mom you were you still live with regrets The silence from their absence is deafening Always missing their special thing Feeling selfish because you just want them back Fantasizing about what Heaven is like Anger at God because why my child But also knowing Jesus is your only ticket into Heaven so one day you can be reunited Our lives were forever changed the day our child was called home but the world still carried on Id rather be anything other than a grieving Mom
I sure do miss my free spirited, curly headed, blue eyed and sideways smirk having, music loving, star gazing, sunrise and sunset watching, athletic, handsome, people loving, longboard riding, food loving, the one that made me a Mom first, and always looking for a fun time son! He was a special one.
