Before I looked outside and eventually took this picture I was feeling down for several reasons. The 15th anniversary of losing our Mom, missing our Dog like always, thinking about what we were doing this day a year ago, etc. I looked outside, saw the sunset and hurried to get out to take pictures.

I started walking across the street to get a different angle and all I could think of was all of the times that we walked Rok Star there. I haven't been too far into that neighborhood since the last time we walked her there. The further I walked, the harder it got.

I stopped and went back towards the house. The memories are just too hard. Nothing anyone says will change that. It's just how it is with us. This day is always hard. But today was the hardest ever.

15 years ago tonight on December 8, 2008, we said our last words to our Mom. She passed away the next day, on December 9, 2008. I'll never forget that night. I'll never forget who was there, and how unexpected, and hard it was to find out that she was in her last hours of life. It still brings tears to my eyes. It took me an hour or two before I could go into her bedroom and say my last words.

I know that her and Dad are in Heaven, playing cards, watching TV, and probably talking about us kids, and the rest of the family. Mom is probably still cooking, cleaning, working in the garden, and not sitting still. Dad was also a hard worker, and a self made man. They were great parents, and helped teach us life. They helped keep us away from drugs, and alcohol. Dad smoked. And we always tried to get him to quit. We even asked him how many home runs we had to hit, to get him to quit.

I miss them more than anything. Especially during the holidays. My heart hasn't been into Christmas since this day in 2008. Time to stop typing, before I flood this place with tears. It's not much easier than the night I said goodbye. I love and miss Mom and Dad.

Rok Star’s

I finished my purple and blue Rok Star project. It took some work and the detail of each star could be better. But I’m glad that I got it done.

I had these metal stars made a long time ago. They were originally going to be my “drum cage” to use on stage. That never ended up happening. So, I’m getting some use out of them now.

We’re dedicating this Star to our Dog, Rok Star. I was sitting outside on our porch thinking of her as I watched all of the cars go by. I remembered the metal stars that I had made for my drum set a long time ago that never got used. There are four of them that are over 7 feet tall and over 7 feet wide.

We live on a busy street and we try to take advantage of that. So, I thought about putting some lights around one of them and seeing how it looked in the front yard. I wish they stayed solid, instead of flashing. I’ll see if we have others that do. Or go buy some in blue and purple that will stay solid. But this okay for now.

I’m working on some other things to make people in our area aware of what we do with our photography and rehearsal studio. But this is for one of the best things to ever come into our lives. Our Star and our Angel.

You can have thousands of “friends” on social media. You can be in a band that has played big shows, and big venues. You can be a little popular. But once you disconnect from your social media pages with thousands of “friends” and you’re not playing big shows. It gets really quiet. I mean more quiet than ever.
