My oldest son
William had an orthodontist appointment on October 21st and he had just gotten
home to tell me all was good before he went back to school...when I got the
call from a friend of ours. I could tell something was wrong in his voice. When
he was finally able to tell me that you were gone all I could say was, "oh God
no!!!" I was just in shock; my knees gave out. How could this possibly be?!
"I can't believe it's been 7 months since that
day and we all love and miss you so much."
We keep putting
one foot in front of the other and keep going; whatever that really means. I
don't know, but even still... a certain song will remind us of you or something
happens in the day or just a big white Ford truck drives by and there you are
again. Your memory floods into my mind again and sometimes I smile thinking of
all the good things that has happened; the trip you took with Cheyenne and your
mom to go visit Kyle and his wife... that is so awesome that you guys went! The
two camping trips you came on that summer (none of us knowing it would be your
last camping trips with us) but sometimes it gets to be too much and I still
cry.
And I know that
you have loved ones who are hurting far more than I am and my heart breaks for
them too. I pray for all of your friends and family; that we may hold you in our
hearts forever, but not be sad anymore because you're not sad. I know you're in
a good place so until we see you again... love always, Charlie, Kristy,
William, Brooklyn, Waylan, and Greg Hall ❤

"When Kristy told me that Charlie listens to
"You Should Be Here" nearly every day it broke my heart, it inspired
me, and it overfilled my heart with joy that one single person…a man…a brother
could love my son so much that his memories of BJ are so ingrained in him that
he keeps him alive in his heart with one simple song. One song, that after
listening to it and watching the video, inspired me to honor Charlie and
Kristy's memory of BJ with a video clip to the song, "You Should Be Here"
by Cole Swindell. I hope you enjoy this tribute and find some peace in your
heart today." Mama Peggy
