KURT D. NEAL How to begin? Where do we start? Five years seems like and is an eternity without being able to see, smell, touch or talk with our son! It's inconceivable not to be able to talk to your child. We are able to visit with you whenever we want with our hearts and minds. How excited we were when we were waiting your arrival into this world. The thought of being able to see you for the first time, squeeze you, shower you with kisses. It's really kind of the same now, in a strange kind of a way. When we see you again Kurt in heaven, we can only imagine how excited we will be, our feelings won't be able to be described. Grab on to you and never let go, never. Our love only grew stronger each and every minute you were in our lives and that doesn't change. Every little thing that reminds us of you seems to increase the longer we are apart a smell, sound, person, place. Remember when we would all hang out on the trampoline and randomly talk about when we would do this, well we love to do that about our dear old Kurt mostly just dad and I as it seems to be hard for others to participate. As it is hard or unthinkable for dad and I not to. Yes sometimes we laugh just as sometimes we cry laughing and crying are emotions, each one is just as important as the other. Really what we are saying Kurt is we just want our little boy back, we need our man-child back. No words to describe our feelings we always say it SUCKS' and it continues to SUCK'. Just as we said last year Well because you are heaven's greeter as we know you would be, with that amazing friendly personality and smile there are many new faces some long over due, some you would be pleasantly surprised and some so unexpected we know you will take them all under your wing. Surprised and excited you would have been to see your little Tuffie, we are sad as Trukie is; her little partner but we know how great it is for you. Back together again as we will be one day. Well your big brother is going to be a daddy, October 3, talk about being excited, Bart's on cloud nine as Jaclyn and Gran and Gramps are, that's our special names whenever our grandbaby calls we will come running. So many new additions Keira, Finn and now pretty soon your niece. They all have so many people to love them, we will make sure they know and love their Uncle Kurt how could they not. Pretty exciting news. Bart mentioned just prior to our first celebration of your life, Kurt will never be a husband, father, uncle just as we always say Kurt will always be 21, these are some of the things running through our heads frequently. We love writing to you, it is so very emotional, and it teaches us self control as we could write a small novel. Kurt we know and believe that you already know everything we have shared with you today but you know how your parents always and continue to repeat themselves and see it doesn't even stop when we are apart. Kurt we love you the whole wide world.
