Andrew Joseph Henne

Remembering all the past Thanksgivings...Wishing you could still be here, Holidays will never be the same with you there and us here..We all hope that you will find a way to be here with us if even just for a little bit... my mind floods with memories of you everyday and my heart aches when I realize thats all I will ever have again..I thank God that he gave you to me for the time he did and I wouldnt trade those years for anything in the world but Im not ready to let you go...I just cant say goodbye..I love you so much..I miss you with every breath I take...You are forever my precious baby!!!! Goodnight buddy...sweet dreams...

Its been 5 months already.  We always said life was tough and that it gets worse before it gets better.  I've almost got it together.  Without Andrew proving it was possible I would have never tried to correct my life.  Andrew is a big influence to us all.  Thank you for being who you are bro and thank you Henne family for letting us know him.

I remember your smile, the way you look when your excited and happy, the grin when you knew you wernt being totally honest, the way you swagger when you walk, the look in your eyes when you'd look at the babies, your smell, the sound of your voice and laughter...Your great big hugs and kisses...Your love ya's...I will never forget you. I love you so much and miss you more than anything in this world. You will always be my baby..No words could ever express how my heart aches everytime I realize you are really gone...I MISS YOU!!!!!  I LOVE YOU!!!!   

I sit everyday with my mind flooding with memories of you from the moment you were born so sick in the neonatal unit..the day I brought you home..One of the happiest days of my life..putting your first bike together..your first christmas..the spaghetti sauce all over your whole face the first time you ate it at grandma Ellens..the look on your face the first time you saw me blow a bubble with gum and all the loud giggles that followed..i can still see you take your first step..How handsom you looked in your little suit the day you were  baptized..and oh my gosh the first time I took you to  the mall   to sit on the Easter bunnys lap oh how you cried you didnt want no part of that..I remember teaching you to ride your first bike in the  yard cause I  didnt  want you to get hurt on pavement...yea I  know I  was maybe a little over protective..but you learned how with no scrapes or stitches.I remember when your sister was 3 and you were 5 you tried to sneak her out the bedroom window and when I heard her screaming and ran in she was hanging from the window sill and you were standing outside below trying to catch her lol funny now but scared the hell out of me then...and taking your brother up on the roof to play when he was 4...I can still see you doing everything ...jumping off the rock at the swimming hole in Branson...riding your four wheeler...driving the pontoon boat..celebrating birthdays,christmas,you sitting in the same chair every year on Thanksgiving...New years we had such a blast bringing in 2009... I can still see your face and the tears streaming down your cheeks when you told me you and Kelsey were having Hailey..You were so scared yet soooo happy...I still see you coming out to the waiting room telling me "Its a girl" then "Its a boy" such a proud daddy!! The day you graduated you were so proud of your accomplishments then the excitement you had the first day you started collage...we were all so proud of you....we still are...I see your face everyday...I see your life pass before my eyes and I miss you with every breath I take...I love you more than I could ever put into words and buddy I remember one of our last onversations when you were sad and you said you wouldnt live a long life..and I said I couldnt bare to lose one of my children and told you how much I needed you and loved you and you said "mom they forget all about you when the funeral is over..you said you seen it happen with friends you lost..and I said that would NEVER happen that our family aint like that and we could never ever forget about you...My life will never  be the same..our family will never be the same none of us could ever forget you...no matter how many years I remain here I will die with a broken heart and our family will never  be complete again..You will be forever missed by all of us....Goodnight my precious baby boy...I love you forever & always
