I miss you, beautiful son. Your brothers miss you like crazy, too! Wish you were here to see the men they have become. I know you would be so proud! I think about the man you would have been now. We take comfort with our memories and the knowledge that you are at peace. Every time my cactus blooms, I think of you with Nathan, Jacob, Dad and I. Love, Mom

Thinking of you this morning. Remember that time we were camping at Bow Willow for Thanksgiving and it was so windy the tent started to blow away? Grandma was in there with you boys holding it down! We used to love watching the cute little kangaroo rat there when we were sitting by the fire. He was cute! So were you! Miss you. Love you. Mama

Keither Beether - Oh my gosh there were so many things that I wanted to say at your funeral. They were all just racing through my head but I just couldn’t physically get up and walk up there and be by your coffin. Because you don’t belong in one – so full of spirit and energy and joy and love. How could you possibly be contained? Stories of you and your brothers race through my head - all of our trips to the deserts, to the woods and to the ocean... Beaches, Disneyland, road trips, sea world and so much more. I went back to visit family in Texas this year and I was in my grandma‘s backyard sitting in that swing under the pecan tree and I remembered you sitting right there on the frame of it when you were about 10. I remember you carrying Jacob on your back on hikes and I remember you would have Nathan ride on the back of your bike when you picked him up after school. We played chutes and ladders every morning when we were living in Beaverton. I remember riding the bus with you, you snuggled up next to me. I’ll tell you you had a smile that could just light up a room! Oh my God your dad was nuts about you – so proud of his boy. I still remember the first time you talked to me. I knocked on your dad‘s door and you stuck your little head out of the window and said, “Hi! who are you? Do you want to come play with me?” You were four years old and that’s when I fell in love with you. I carry you every day in my heart everywhere I go, Keith. We all do. I miss you so much and I wish there were so many things that could have been different but I’ll cherish every moment with you son for the rest of my life.I’m going to get a Christmas tree this year again. I couldn’t do it last year but this year I am and I’m going to hang up all of your little ornaments that you made and the ornaments we bought together and I’m going to remember you with love.

This has been a tough couple of days leading up to tomorrow. I have thought about you countless times - whether I am sharing my memories and past experiences I had with you, reminding people about how unique it would feel when you were around. You had a special ability to make people feel good about their hobbies and genuinely appreciated and showed interest in the activity... I also have times where I wonder what I could have done differently to have altered your path just enough to make it so you never ran into trouble that one day. I wonder to myself if it would have made a difference or if you still would have avoided the hospital. You had been there for me a handful of times while I was sick in the hospital and stayed in with me thru the days and nights, keeping me company and making sure that I recovered before I left. I think about it with such insane repetition that I get so down on myself and feel guilty for not realizing that you needed a harder push towards handling your health situation. I would be there for you, you know that. Blah, even now I'm starting to get lost in the pattern of thought that I keep getting stuck in. It sucks so bad that you are not here to share happy moments and enjoy laughing with each other. It hurts so much to experience losing such an amazing unique friend at such an early age. We had so many plans to get back on track and live happy responsible loving enjoyable lives and I have so much anger and frustration with thinking that the beginning of the process and chance for recovery was stolen away from you. I don't understand. It's not fair! I had so much trouble with my understanding that you would want me to do good and continue with the plan we had on my own. I struggled with the hurt for months and I did so much damage to my body in the coming months afterwards. I ended up in the hospital being told by multiple doctors that I was in serious trouble and if I didn't stop to get help that I would not last more than 6 weeks on my own. A part of me had thought about giving up and telling myself that it was an eventual inevitability. Dark thoughts had consumed me entirely. It wasn't until I took a moment to switch around the way I had looked at everything and put you and your survival in my spot and then thinking about the way I would feel about your situation and how much I would try to make you understand the importance of finding the strength inside. After doing that, I was finally able to slowly get my thinking in a positive direction and made decisions that I had trouble with keeping them and not changing my mind to take the easy path. It is now almost 8 months later from the day I finally found a way to realize that there was a good reason to not give up. It hasn't been easy and I've had numerous occasions when I felt like throwing in the towel but I just have to stop and think about how I would feel if you had a chance to keep on but had to find a way to convince you that life is worth living. I would be relentless in letting you understand purpose and showing reason after reason for fighting to succeed. In that is where I am able to pull out the strength I need to do the right thing. Something nobody else had the ability to do themselves. Anyways, I'm just rambling now. The point is it's going to be a year, TMRW. I wish you here but I want it known that you have given me strength that I couldn't find anywhere else. I love you brother and will have you in my thoughts through the day.
