Memories of Kate

Its funny how things happen, fade and then resurface. It maybe uncertain where the road leads but I want to remember the good stuff because there is a lot of it and then if I have to put it away to dampen the sting of mourning.

In no particular order are fond memories of Kate and I: (I will add more later)

*Kate at my parents house in her navy pajamas sitting on the floor against the chair.

*Going for a walk on our land and Kate taking pictures

*Showing Kate around Carthage and her realizing that she had previously been there on roadtrip

*Watching movies with her in Christopher's bed and falling asleep

*Snuggling up close together as we did fireworks

*Kate going hunting with me in west texas

*The funny long drive there to the camp

*Kate shooting different guns

*Kate sitting in the deerstand with me as we watched the deer

*Kate and I searching for a possibly hit deer that was actually missed

*Kate putting an amazing shot on her first doe that is now in the freezer

*Kate learning how to clean a deer

*Kate and I discussing the merits and ethics of deer hunting

*Kate and I taking care of the Zoe at the ranch

*Me getting to take care of Kate while she is sick

*Kate and I finding Zoe, and then going and getting care items for her at wal-mart and then taking her to the vet together.

*Kate cleaning my place before she left and leaving sticky notes everywhere.

*Kate greeting me when I came home from work with her hair down and a big smile as she had decorated my place with artwork and pictures, sticky notes with sweet phrases.

*Kate and I moving her into Arlington and listening to stand up comedy.

*Kate and I driving to the airport in Dallas so she could fly to Denver.

*Kate taking me on the campus of Baylor, through the halls of some of the buildings and us stepping over the wimpy stream in the middle.

*Kate graciously going with me to tour around Gander Mountain even though it was clearly uncomfortable with her.
