You Should Be Here...


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
