Taunya I can't believe it has been 10 yrs!



Today as I remember you I thought I'd share some of your many faces!


Classic Taunya looks!



I can't believe this year marks 10 years that you have been gone!




I never even knew what Leukemia was before you got sick and by the time we had the transplant I felt like I could be a nurse. Ok except for the whole fear of needles thing that is...


Because of you I am always aware how precious life is and I cherish it more and try to make every moment count!


Being 1 of your care givers I learned what courage and faith you had. I watched you endure things that I said to myself I could never do that.



Only you could watch a horror movie that took place in a hospital and be in a hospital!



I still have your voice mails you left me that last month. I taped them and I play them just so I can hear your voice.


I read your journals and I realized I need to make sure I didn't just write when I was feeling down but I needed to write when life was good also!


We sometimes forget how little your kids were when you died. 4,3 & 2.


We would listen to your song and cry. We would go to your grave and put flowers on it and talk about you. Like I did today!


I hope you know I love you amd miss you!


Now we are just 10 yrs closer to that sweet reunion!

Beautifully done. Im watching 'A Walk to Remember' and crying, but it feels good to take time out of my life and reflect soley on her.

Jeremy was the one who reminded me that it had been 10 years since Taunya's passing. He always has good stories to share of Taunya and her fiery personality. I think it's great that you recorded her voicemail, I'm sure her children will appreciate hearing her voice. I know we shed quite a few tears on that day, and 10 years later we still do.

I would love to hear some of the stories Jeremy has of her, because YES she was fiery! LOL
