October 4, 1978
Today Travis was born weighing 9lbs 14 1/2 oz. He was 1 month premature due to complications of me being a diabetic. He was born with undeveloped lungs and had to stay in the NICU for 10 days. He has a brother Jeff who was 7 yrs old whenever Travis was born. He was a very good baby and never did need very much attention his first few months he would rather lay in his crib and play with his toes and laugh. He always loved for me to rock him but if I started to sing he would cry so I figured he didn't like my singing so we stopped doing that.We just rocked and bonded Mother and son.
 
November 1980

Travis started to Daycare where I worked and he loved it. He got to be with Mom and also get to meet new friends. He always was the clown of the Daycare and most of the time he didn't even try it was just him being himself. He always could make people laugh and he never met a stranger. I worked with the 4yr olds but Travis would sneak off from his room and come to find me. He would be standing at the door just grinning with his thumb in his mouth  and looking like well here I am now what!

 
August 1983
Travis started Kindergarten and was it a rough day because He didn't want to stay. He was used to being with me at Daycare and he thought I should stay with him at his new school. I left with him hanging onto my leg screaming don't leave me and I was crying harder than he was.  His teacher had to pick him up off of the floor so I could get out of the room. My whole day was shot! Then whenever 1 pm arrived I went to pick him up expecting to hear he had cried all day but not Travis. The Teacher said after I left the room he immediately stopped crying and ask is Mommy gone? She said yes and he just went and sat down and that was the end of his crying. But me,I cried all day thinking he was miserable but he was having a great day. That was my Travis!!
 
November 4, 1984

Today me,Jeff and You added on to our family. Me and Harold married and you got another brother Dee and he was the same age as you were. We all became a very happy and sometimes crazy or as Dee called us disfunctional family. We made memories that have taken us where we are today. We all laughed together we cried and yes we even argued together but in the end we were a FAMILY!

 
May 1996

Well,You finally made it you walked across that stage and received your diploma from High School. Those nights we sat up trying to get homework and the mornings you would wake up with every sickness imaginable just to get to stay home were well worth it whenever I saw you reach your hand out for that diploma. I just wanted to stand up and start the wave like at a UT football game I was so happy it was over.

 
March 21,1998

Today we added on to our family again your brother Dee got married you got a sister-in-law Penny and a nephew Tyler who says you are his hero.

 
August 5 2003
Today you became a husband to Lisa Marie Hunt. Whenever I saw you standing there waiting on her to get to you I finally realized you was no longer a little boy you were a Man. My Heart nearly broke whenever I realized this but at the same time I was so proud of you and what you had accomplished in your yrs of becoming a Man. But to me you will always be Moms Baby and many times I told you that. 
 
December 2003

You and Lisa lost your first baby at 6wks gestation and your heart broke. I remember you calling and saying Mom it wasn't to be was it? I was heartbroken also and we cried together and said in Gods own time. But it was never to be you had to leave us before it ever happen.

 
June 11,2004

March 13, 2005 -Travis Passed Away in His sleep at age 26

If tomorrow starts without me and I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes all filled with tears for me;
I wish so much you wouldn't cry the way you did today,while
thinking of the many things,we didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me,as much as I love you!
And each time you think of me,I know you'll miss me too;
but when tomorrow starts without me,please try to understand
that an Angel came and called my name and took me by the hand;
she said my place was ready,in Heaven far above and that I"d
have to leave behind all those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,a tear fell from my eye for all my life,
I'd always thought I didn't want to die;I had so much to live for,so
much left yet to do,it seemed almost impossible that I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,just even for a while;I'd say good-bye and kiss you and maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized that this could never be,for emptiness and memories would take the place of me;when I thought of wordly things I might miss come tomorrow,I thought of you and when I did my heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through Heaven's Gates,I felt so much at home.
When God looked down and smiled at me,from His Great Golden Throne,
He said,"This is Eternity and all I've Promised You."
Today your life on earth is past but here life starts anew.
I promise no tomorrow but today will always last:and since each day's the same way theres no longing for the past.
You have been so faithful,so trusting and so true;though there were times you did some things,you know you shouldn't do. But you have been forgiven and now at last you're free; so won't you come and take my hand and share my life with me?
So when tomorrow starts without me,don't think we're far apart,
for every time you think of me,I'm right here in your heart....
