Happy slightly belated birthday Cory. This time of year reminds me of celebrating your last birthday with us at the McGaugh wedding. Pretty sure you have the best smile in the world and I miss it dearly.

Happy Birthday Cory! We had so much fun celebrating you today! We went to the Zoo and Oliver and Penny were able to meet your family. Sage is so grown up! You would be so proud of her, so smart and beautiful. Miss you dearly!

There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. I see you everywhere and miss you so much. I do have many, many wonderful memories to sustain me and am so grateful to have 26 years worth. Today marks nine years since our Lord took you, and I can't even begin to describe the emptiness I still feel because you are no longer here. The hole in my heart is huge and the pain never goes away. As our family changes, each new family event reminds me that you aren't here to share it, but I do find comfort knowing I will be with you again one day. I love you and know how much you love me.

Happy 35th Birthday, my beautiful son! I miss you more than ever and wish I could hold you and tell you how much I love you.

Happy birthday, Cory ! It's crazy that I still remember after all these years. I wish I'd known you better, but I will always think of you as one of the sweetest guys I've ever met. I moved back to SD a few years ago, and I wish you were here to hang out with. Sometimes I'll see a blue pickup truck and think of you. It's surreal that you're no longer with us, and I miss you. xo

Went out to celebrate Mandy's birthday last night. Stayed at the Lafeyette and did a north park pub crawl. You were sorely mussed and would have been the life of the party. Miss you and think of you fondly and frequently.

You were in my thoughts today Cory!!

Yesterday, Christian and I met with Coner and Katy for breakfast and met Cory (your namesake) for the first time. He is going to be a year old on 08/06 and is so cute. You would be crazy about him. Love you and miss you bunches!

We (Christian, Shannon, Phoenix, Sage, Shea, and I) went to MM the day after your birthday and had a really good time, but we did miss you terribly. Since I thought this would be my last visit to MM, as I am going to be 70 this year and the rides are getting to be too much for me, Christian and I went on Revolution first and for the last time. Since it was the first roller coaster ride you ever went on, we thought it would be kind of neat. I wish I could go one more time at Halloween though, as I would love to ride Colossus backwards like you did the Halloween before you left us. I remember you calling me right afterwards and telling me how great it was. You would have been 34 years old this past Monday and I often wonder what you would be doing if you were still here with us. Would you be married, have children, brought your dreams to fruition...? Whatever you might be doing, I know I would be just as proud of you as the day you left. I love you, Sweetheart! Happy Birthday!
