                              Christmas Wish

December 8th is a date that will be engraved in our hearts. 

I wanted your family to know we'll be thinking of all of you from the moment that day starts.

Owen saw the American flag in our home and held it tenderly.

It's Spencer's country Nana! his little voice called out to me.

He still remembers you Spencer and now understands more about your life.

He knows that you had a daddy and your daddy has a wife.

So Nana that makes her his mommy... is pretty just like mine?

I bet she's proud of Spencer and his daddy thinks he's fine.

Christmas Eve is Owen's birthday and will be turning six years of age.

I didn't think he'd remember forever but he glances at the page...

A photo of an American Hero it's Spencer and his face lights up with Joy.

In moments he's back playing but I noticed your photo beside his toy.

Years may pass but as he grows he'll learn so much more about his American Hero.

I'll say a prayer as I often do that all who read this will be remebering you too.

So my Christmas Wish goes out today... to you dear Spencer in a special way....

I'll send it to your family and then I'll go and light your tree.

Jeannine will see your tree and knows it's a gift from me.

The lights are bright so you can see them from above.

Sent to you from all of us with lots and lots of love.

Thank you Spencer for giving so much to all of us.

God Bless You Forever & Your Family & Friends

God Bless our American Heros!

                            Never Forgotten

Dear Spencer:

I've been thinking about you a lot since our trip to Michigan this summer.

Scott and I crossed the boarder from Windsor and said a little prayer for you.

On our way to The Christmas Store we kept seeing American Flags all along the highway.  I sang O Beautiful but had difficulty finishing the song...

I wonder if the families of the American Soldiers have any idea how much we care?  Two Canadians not so far away from your homeland.

You served your country well as many other solidiers are doing at this time.  The grief that families have had to endure is beyond my understanding.

I hope that one day I can meet the rest of your family and friends. I feel like I know them from reading your stories.

You'll always be a part of our lives and your memory will live on forever.

I know that one day we'll all be together in Heaven as I do believe in God. 

For anyone reading this please don't ever forget that every kind act that you do can be in memory of your hero..."Spencer".

You suffered but not in vain....

Don't ever stop praying for Our American Heros!

Love

Sue Wagner

We were hoping to win the hockey game for you last night but it didn't work out.......made a toast to you.....happy birthday miss you

love your sister

Happy 40th Spence

Hey...been thinking about you alot lately.  This may sound weird but it seems like there are so many dates/times that come up that make thinking about you come natural.  Its either your birthday Veterans Day Memorial Day Independence Day November 21st December 8th etc....reminders of that you once were are always there and its nice.  Anytime someone says Streeters or Best Buy...you come to mind.  Tonight at work the song Merry Christmas Darling by Karen Carpenter came on...and the memories come flooding back.  Thats the song I had on this site when I first made it.  And with hearing it came the stories of how I once knew and loved an American Hero.  To think that its been 4 years is uncomprehendable.  Almost as surreal as the night I ran into Annie at Petes and she asked if I heard what had happened to you.  No I hadn't at that point but the first thing I did when I got home was googled your name and read all about it on the internet...So tonight I got to tell all about you...because that song came on.  Well not that I couldn't tell about you any other time...but it's an opportunity with a gentle reminder that is like you saying "Hey don't forget me you said you never would."  Well I haven't and I won't.  Four years ago this time I was crying my eyes out at the fact I would never see you again at the fact you would never get the chance to get married and have kids at the fact that your smirky little grin wouldn't be seen again....but tonight I am smiling at the fact that I once knew you the fact that you died an American Hero a Legend in history...a true Soldier.  Thank you God for bringing Spencer into my life...that at the time I didn't know that one day he would be remember for his selflessness and heroism.  Thank you Spencer for being that guy...

My heart is with not only his family this Christmas but also his many friends and fellow soldiers that so proudly serve their country.
