Welcome to Webb's Beloved Hearts Memorial

Memories of Webb

The tools in the barn are all quiet, cobwebs have settled in. The smell of gasoline still lingers around the old International tractor that you once rode to plow the fields. The snowmobile hangs from the ceiling where you put it years ago almost hoping you might return. The shovels and rakes still propped up in the corner are all covered in rust and yesteryears dirt. Your old worn out Woolrich jacket has mice living in the pockets a home to moths as well. The deer antlers that you mounted are almost pure white from age. The Case tractor is still parked in the same spot you left it years ago. As I stand in the barn you built yourself 40 years ago I can almost feel your presence Dad, I swear you are standing behind me coaxing me to pick up that nasty looking snake so you don't run over it with the tractor. I see a shadow and I jump around hoping it is you, but only the wind playing havoc on the aged pine tree! It has been 16 years since you left me Dad, and I still savor every minute we spent together during your last few weeks of life. Your once strong figure had at last turned into a withered tired man. Time had finally caught up to you. As I turned to leave the old barn and all the bittersweet memories it held I saw something on the ground I had not seen. It was your bootprint hiding underneath a large board I needed for my workshop. I ran my fingers over the bootprint and felt the deep ruts your boot had made those years ago, now here I was, looking at something from so long ago yet swore it was just made. I miss you so much Daddy, and it is so hard to come up here and not find you tinkering with some switch or gadget.The 81 years of your life are locked up in this old barn, and just for a few golden minutes I was able to linger here, just you and I Dad, like we did so many years ago. Time had stood still for me for just a few precious minutes.You and I frozen in time. It was as if you were still here with me, just the two of us sharing an ordinary day between a loving father and an adoring daughter. I miss you Daddy more than you could imagine possible. My love will endure for all eternity! I wish you were here with me right now. I'd gladly pick up that snake! Whoever said time heals all wounds never knew the deep rooted love I have for you. My eyes will always have tears in them Daddy. I miss you Daddy....I love you so much! Sis Happy Birthday Daddy! 98 years old! Hope you liked the wreath Mom and I put on your grave! I love you Daddy!! Sis Merry Christmas Daddy. Just not the same cheerful time since you left us so many years ago. The pain still lingers in my heart knowing I will not see you till I leave this world. You are forever in my heart and always on my mind. I wish you were here today Daddy. I love you dad....so much! Sis
