Garry Lee Stephens Tribute

Garry,
Mom was here she visited me and worked her magic made me feel better and we had a visit from your best friend. It was so nice.. I wish we could get together more often it is nice to see others who share in the loss of you and share the love we have for you.. I know you would be happy about what I sent your best friend home with.. me and Mom were wanting to keep it but it just seemed like you were letting me know where you think it belonged.. your Harley vest is now where you would want it... I know it will be cherished!
At times on more than a few occasions you are on my mind and something weird happens.. I am busy doing housework or picking up papers and its plain as day, I see you walk in my house say hello Tinky! as if you were just stopping in for a visit.. I hear your deep laugh and see you bending down to pet my dog and you change the tone in your voice to match the excitement of my dog..acting like a dork..
Then you come give me a hug but not just a hug, its a bear hug and pick me up grunting as I yell STOP and beg for you to put me down.. you put me down and pinch my arms and tell me how you wish yours were as big as mine.. as I point out to you look... they aren't so big anymore... I realize it is just a replay of an old memory.. but it's all I have of you now... It's times like that help me get through this... days when I can pretend your not gone.. I miss you big brother.. I really do...
