Oh my gosh Danny I can't breath. It's so hot. Just like that night 19 years ago. It's so hot. That room was so small. Katrina's play pen wouldn't even fit in it. And it was so hot. I had to put her on the tiny bed, and I had to share the other tiny bed with you. It was so hot, and she was so restless. It was about this time when she woke up crying. I went to her, and I took off her cloths. I walked the floor with her, singing your song.

"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine.
You make me happy when skies are grey.
You'll never know dear, how much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
No please don't take my sunshine away."

She finally fell back to sleep, but she was still very hot, and very restless. I tried to lay down with her, but she was too restless. I was afraid that she was going to fall off that little bed, but she wouldn't let me next to her.So I made a pallet on the floor, and that's where I fell asleep. But then you woke up. You were so panicked. More so than I've ever seen you. All you wanted was for me to be next to you. You took me into the bathroom, and we made love.

I remember falling asleep in your arms, but somehow I must have went back to Katrina, for the next thing I remember was you giving me a kiss good bye. You had already gotten up, and gotten ready for school. You let me sleep. I got up and was about to get Katrina up, but you said no. You told me to go back to sleep. I wanted to take you to work, but you wouldn't let me. I wanted to see your surgery site, but you had already taken care of it. You left for school on your own, and I went back to sleep.

The nightmares have started Danny. Please be with me. I can't do this on my own. I can't handle tomorrow on my own. Help me get through it. Help me handle the nightmare that haunts me in the middle of the day.

I love you Danny. I love you so very much.

Danny was the most wonderful, smart, caring person on the face of this earth.

Why he had to die, I don't know.

My heart grieves for him.

Danny left behind so many people who loved him. His wife, Cynthia Brooks Yager, daughter: Katrina Dawn Yager. Mom, dad, two sisters, and a brother, tons of Aunts, Uncles, and friends. But no one misses him more than I. You were my life Danny. My husband, my best friend. I will never ever forget you. Not a day will go by that I won't think of you. That I won't long for you. That I won't miss you something awful.

Wait for me Danny. For one day we'll be together again.
I love you Danny. I always have. I always will.​

If only you could have known him in person. I can't even begin to describe how wonderful a man he was. A man who truly deserves to be with God. One day I will be with my Danny again. One day.

Thank you for your prayers, and your blessings. You, my friend, are a true gift from God.

She's gone again Danny. My baby is gone, and I don't know when I'll be able to see her again.
She's not allowed home anymore. Not after the stunt that she pulled yesterday. It's killing me Danny. I've lost so much.
Why? Why Danny? Why is my life a constant heartache? Why do I always have to hurt?
Why'd she do it? why did she have to use me like that?
Everything was going so good until we were alone and she somehow got in contact with that boy. What was I supposed to do Danny? Either I hold her back and keep her from going up to that truck, or I dash for the mail box to retrieve whatever it was that she put in it for him, and take the chance of either him running me down or worse yet, her getting into that truck and driving away with him. What a crazy lunatic I must have looked like. Standing there in my front yard yelling at her to go inside, and yelling at him to get off my property and go away. All the while trying to think of a way to get to that mailbox.

In church yesterday there was a messege. God said that he has it all under his control. That his ways are not my ways. That it will get worse before it gets better, but if we trust in him we will be blessed mightily.
I do trust in God, but it doesn't make the pain any less bareble. It doesn't stop the tears that have been flowing from my eyes ever since she drove away. It's not stopping my heart from breaking.

Help me Lord. Please help me to get this through this. But most of all, please help my daughter. Please be with her and guide her. Please bring her back to me. Please, please God bring her back to me. Please bring her back to me. Please?

Amanda never called Danny. My own daughter didn't even call to wish me a happy birthday. I stayed up till past eleven waiting on her, but the call never came. I'd like to say that it doesn't matter, but it does. Once again my youngest daughter cut out my heart and threw it to the wind.

On a brighter note....You should have seen what Katrina sent me. It was flowers in the shape of a cake. So cute, and so creative. She's a good girl Danny. You'd be so proud of her. She is growing up to be a very fine young woman.

I love you Danny. Maybe one day God will allow my heart to stop breaking and let us be together again. Until then, I will keep my chin up, and try my best to keep my eyes dry.

I miss you.

I feel very strange today Danny. I must have a pinched nerve or something because my chest is really hurting, and I'm having a lot of trouble focusing. My lips feel like they are swollen and tingly.

More than likely I pulled something out of place while bowling last night, but wouldn't it be wonderful if God was finally answering my prayers? I don't think so, but it would be nice. I have too much unfinished business left to do.

Amanda. She's my mine purpose. I have to make sure that she comes back. To both me and God. It's hard talking to her anymore. I feel so hurt and betrayed by her, but I know I can't show it. I know I must love her unconditionally. I will wait with an open heart, and when she decides to be good and come back, my arms will be open wide to accept her.

I don't understand what happened to my little girl Danny. I don't understand how something so pure and innocent could all of a sudden turn so rotten. She's not really rotten. She's lost. That's all, and it's my resonsibility to help her find her way back. But how can I do it Danny when I don't even have her right now? No, I think it's me who is lost. Lost and confused. But I know God has a plan. It may not be the plan that I would want, but it'll be the best plan for Amanda. God loves her, and he won't allow her to stay this way for too long. He'll bring her back. I know he will.

I love you Danny. I love you so very much. I always have my husband, and I always will. I will always love you bunches and bunches and groups and groups.

I gave this song to Janet, Danny. Now I'm giving it to you. I miss you baby. I miss you very very much.


Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
I feel you everywhere I go
I see your smile, I see your face
I hear you laughin' in the rain
I still can't believe you're gone

(Chorus)
It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing, no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder, who you'd be today

Would you see the world
Would you chase your dreams
Settle down with a family
I wonder what would you name your babies
Somedays the sky's so blue
I feel like I can talk to you
And I know it might sound crazy

(Chorus)
It ain't fair you died too young
Like a story that had just begun
But death tore the pages all away
God knows how I miss you
All the hell that I've been through
Just knowing, no one could take your place
Sometimes I wonder, who you'd be today

Today, Today, Today...
Today, Today, Today...

Sunny days seem to hurt the most
I wear the pain like a heavy coat
The only thing that gives me hope
Is I know, I'll see you again someday

Someday, Someday...
