There's No Way
Performed by Alabama
As I lay by your side, hold you tonight,
I want you to understand,
this love that I feel is so right and so real,
I realize how lucky I am,
and should you ever wonder if my love is true,
there's something that I want to make clear to you
There's no way that I can make it without you,
there's no way that I'd even try
If I had to survive without you in my life,
I know I wouldn't last a day,
Ohh Baby there's no way.
Then a whisper, (baby I'll always love you, and I hope you know that).
It means so much to me whenever I see that wanting me look in your eyes,
I don't know how I can do without,
holding you close every night,
I've waited so long just to have you to hold,
now that I have you I can never let go.
There's no way that I could make it without you,
there's no way that I'd even try,
If I had to survive without you in my life,
I know I wouldn't last a day, Ohh Baby, there's no way
I never knew until you what I was missin'
now you say forever, I find my heart is listening,
yes I'm listening,
there's no way that I could make it without you, theres no way that I'd even try,
If I had to survive without you in my life, I know I wouldn't last a day,
Ooh Baby, there's no way
Baby there's just no way

Dustin's Last Christmas with us, checking out his gift from his aunt Art, he was always fond of her...
Sorrow
Sorrow has many faces......Comes in many disguises too, sometimes it feels loss.
Somethings it just feels blue. It can appear without reason,
wearing a dark coat to depress Or explode in heavy gloom.
Smothering words needed to express it can only slowly chain and bind you in a cage holding you strong,
Or it can launch you into space with feelings that you don't belong.
Sometimes Sorrow has a virus Winding out from a broken heart or a nasty parasite That can find any place to start.
It can rain on the lonely, It can snuff out all sense of hope. It can evaporate love it has an endless scope.....
In all its many disguises and incasive mastery refrain the ability to inflict inner pain, if you know someone who suffers,
Please show them how much you care, even if they haven't asked, sometimes life isn't fair
and sometimes without asking we need to know someone is there, someone who wants to love us,
someone who really cares, someone like me!

Dustin at Christmas-time at grandparents, "Woolum's" 11 years old

Yesterday's tears build a river, Washing away the pain from my soul.
Yesterday's tears cleaned my heart and my mind. Just like a gentle sweet spring rain.
When you feel you have cried your river and the throat aches from tears shed,
and your mind is exhausted from feelings or the heart feels it is dead...
raise your eyes to the skies and recall how beautiful a full moon can be,
call that friend you know is there, waiting to help you escape your pain,
the one who does not judge,
but listens, so you may one day love again

Dustin, with Santa at the Mall in Daytona Beach.


Dustin and Bridgett, Prom 2000, This will be the only memory of a prom for his Mother,
She has lost the high school proms.....8th grade here.
A MESSAGE FROM MY LOVED ONE
AS YOU HOLD ME CLOSE IN MEMORY
EVEN THOUGH WE ARE APART
MY SPIRIT WILL LIVE ON,
THERE, WITHIN YOUR HEART…
I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS
WHEN YOU LEAN ON TRUSTED FRIENDS
AND THEIR CARING HUGS ENFOLD YOU,
WITHIN THEIR LOVING ARMS
I’LL BE THERE TO HOLD YOU…
I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS
AND BEYOND THE FAR HORIZON,
WHEN WE’LL BE TOGETHER
WHERE LOVE WILL BE ETERNAL
AND LIFE WILL LAST FOREVER
I AM WITH YOU ALWAYS

Grandparents, Woolums, with Tasha, Dustin, Frank Jr., Treavor, Heather...
Dustin, will always be remembered by Frank Jr, Dustin was his hero....
When we lose our parents we lose our past.
When we lose our spouse or sibling we lose our present.
When we lose our child we lose our future.
When we lose our parents, we are orphans,
When we lose our spouse, we are widows or widowers,
But there is no word for a parent who has lost their child........

Log Ride, Tasha, Jacob with Dustin, Dustin was soaked with water..and loved every minute of it.

Dustin joins his nephew and sister on the kiddie coster ride.
I know he would have made a wonderful father.



This is a picture that My son had just purchased the week before he was taken,
I bought this one too, and my daughter bought me a cup with the picture.
It is called Starry Night, by Van Gogh.
He was with his sister when he purchased the picture.
I must say that I was shocked that he took and interest in this art piece......
......I just wanted to share this with you.
