The love we have for Jeff!

I'm not sure how to put into words how I feel but I'll do my best... I didn't have the opportunity to sincerely tell Jeff how I felt about him before he passed away and I hope Jeff and his family knows and understands how much he meant to Cary and I. He wasn't just a best friend but it was much deeper than that, the deep love that we have for Jeff is so strong and so deep that I can't put it into words the feelings I feel for him. I truly felt like I lost a brother in-law and Cary lost a brother, but those feelings don't change even though we can't call or see him, we will always love him and Jeff will always be Cary's best friend, instead of texting him or calling him to say hi we just do it a little differently, I know he can hear us and its comforting to know that!

I was pregnant at the time of his passing and didn't know it yet. When I found out that I was pregnant a week later it really made me connect with Jeff, it was healing to me and I knew that he was with my little spirit that I was caring and getting to know it, it really helped me cope with Jeff no longer being here, I would day dream about how neat it would be to have my baby born on Jeff's birthday since I was due June 3. When we found out I lost my baby on Nov. 9 (2 months later to the day) It crushed me to pieces, the spirit that I once carried was no longer with me and I felt its absence so strong, it was an empty feeling that I can't explain. I morned a baby that I had never met but yet felt so close to it at the same time. In a way I felt it disconnected me a little with Jeff and I'm morning all over again, but in two ways now. I know Jeff is up there pulling for me and everything will work out how its suppose to. I miss him and I just hope you all know how much love we have for Jeff and we always will. You guys are an amazing family and we will always love you too.

Krystal your amazing and we will always love you as well, I look up to your strength so much!!

Thanks for talking to me Leah, it was so nice to have someone understand what your going through and it helped me more than you'll ever know!!

I also want to say how grateful I am for the opportunity to make those shadow box's and poem for you all, it was one of the neatest experiences I have ever had and I loved doing it all for you! It is so special to me and I will always cherish it forever, I feel like it is a great reminder that Jeff is looking down on me and watching over all of us!
His spirit still lives and I can feel it!!!!

We love you guys!
Brooke and Cary Winget
