My parents gave me the sweetest gift! It's supposed to be a Christmas tree ornament, but I wanted to see it everyday, so I have it hanging on my mirror in my car. I usually think it's tacky to have anything hanging from someone's mirror, but I don't care, the fact I get to see the kids (and the rest of the family) when I'm driving makes me smile! ❤️

This photo is so special to me. It's the last family picture we took before Austin passed away! So thankful that our whole family takes so many pictures!!

It's so hard to believe later this month, we'll be celebrating the second birthday and another Christmas without you. How is that possible? This year you would have turned 20 and you would officially not be a teenager anymore. You were so excited for that! I will definitely be celebrating YOU on December 21st although you're not here to celebrate with us. I love you bud!

Missing you so much, but I'm so glad you continue to show me you're all around me. keep reminding me kid. I certainly never forget about you, but sometimes I disconnect and pretend you're just off somewhere but you'll be coming back. Unfortunately, the reality of that was, it may have helped in that specific moment, but long term, it was doing more damage. Finally, I feel reconnected to you and although it hurts you're not here, I feel your presence and it helps me get through my day. If you would have told me years ago, that if I felt disconnect to someone that died, my whole would be off track, I would have thought they were nuts. Sometimes I question if I'm totally looney for seeing your signs and truly feeling you around me, but idc. Send me to the "looney Bin" as you would say. It's literally the only thing that helps me be here without you! I'll never shove down and suppress me missing you again. It sucks to be sad, but it was 10 times worse when I wouldn't even allow myself to shed a tear or think about you because it hurt to bad. I feel guilty but you'll always be with me and I'll think of you as much as my mind needs and shed tears when my body needs too. I hope you'll forgive show me the signs as you've been doing recently. I love you kiddo and so thankful I got the 18 years of being your mommy!! ❤️

I do a horrible job at posting on this page, but it's definitely not because I don't think of him. Its hard for me to look photos of him to be honest. The pain & hurt hasn't gotten easier and hurts more the longer it's been, however, I will say, as time goes by, I am learning how to live with the pain and what my new normal is starting to look like without him being physically here. I have more good days than bad, but when the bad ones come, it feels as it did the day i lost him. It is exhausting on those bad days, but other days are manageable!

Anyways, a friend of mine sent me these photos of Austin. He sure was an adorable happy kid! Wasn't he just the cutest??

Hard to believe this was only 10 years ago. Kaedyn was 3 and Austin was 9. Wow!!!

Today was a beautiful day of sightseeing. I feel like this photo is a reminder from Austin - Drako Outchea that he's always with me, especially today! ❤️

A group reached out to me and asked if I'd send a photo of Austin and if I'd like his photo on a virtual
wall. Of course I said yes!!

She sent me this today with the message,
"The photos are placed in our digital photo album, slide show, and the names on our Virtual wall."

He was such a handsome kid! I know I'm biased, but I don't think anyone can tell me I'm wrong. ❤️

I miss you so much everyday, but today more than usual. 💔Rikki Dalrymple Drako Outchea

Missing you extra hard today. How is it possible you've been gone for a whole year in 23 days? This has been the worst year of my life, but I'm trying so hard to push thru because I know that's what you'd want me to do. It's hard to get thru everyday with half my heart gone and the other half is completely broken, but I'm doing this for you and your sister. God she misses u too. Everyone does. Love you so much. The love doesn't stop and keeps growing even tho you're no longer here. 💔

Hey kiddo! So this weekend has been a great one for Real Estate. I closed one and got another under contract and have a listing coming and should have another house for a buyer under contract next week. Although I've been busy since coming back, I haven't been this busy in a week. It feels good to really getting back to the crazy chaotic life, but it's bitter sweet because I don't have you to tell it to. I don't think you full grasp how amazing it felt when you were excited for me and when you'd tell me you were proud of me. I did a lot of things no one was proud of in my life and unfortunately you were there to see quite a bit of that stage in my life. Looking back it kills me I ever disappointed you and although I did, I never did it with intent. But to hear you tell me the last 7 years how proud you were that I finally got my life back on track has been one of my best moments. I'm sorry I sometimes let you down, but I'm so glad I got to make you proud before you left this earth. The fact you really saw and acknowledged I was trying and eventually did some good things, you'll literally never know how that made feel. I felt like a failure for disappointing you and Kaedyn, but hearing and see you excited for me made me feel successful. Gosh I miss you more than anyone could even imagine. I've said this many times, but each time I say it the worst it's gotten. When you left us, looking back, idk how I managed to get out of bed, much less accomplished anything. I don't say this often but looking back I felt like strong in those moments. But now, it just doesn't make sense how thst feeling has gone away and I'm disappointed in myself that I'm going backwards with my grief instead of forwards. How could I have not fallen completely apart then and now I am more and more each day? I don't feel you much around me anymore, maybe thats part of why it's gotten harder. I know you're hear but I don't feel it like I did before. Although you're gone, I need you to give me a sign you're with me and maybe that you're proud of me still. I go back often and read text that you've sent to remind myself I wasn't a complete failure as a parent and it helps, but each time I read them, it gets harder and harder.

Ppl say it gets better with time, but it's gotten harder. Thinking about it, it getting harder makes more sense, because each day that passes, it's more of a reality and a reminder, you really aren't coming back and the missing you gets worse and worse. In 30 mins is my birthday and you know although I hated it, I secretly love the attention lol. But this year, there's no excitement and when I say I really want to not celebrate or even acknowledge it, I whole heartily mean it. Birthdays and holidays are so empty now. I don't want to celebrate anything because you're not here to do it with me. I'd hope this empty feeling was a phase that would eventually pass, but now I'm realizing it will forever be here. I know you want me to keep living my life inspite of missing you, but bud most of the days it's almost impossible.

I miss you so much and wished I'd get a hug or a birthday call like usual. But since you're not here to do that, I'm begging you please send me a sign. I feel silly writing this because duh you're not going to see it, but it does make me feel a tiny bit better and I'm having faith you can hear me say it as I'm typing it. My life will never be as happy and joyful since you're not here, but please somehow help me get past the darkness. I want to feel joy again and truly smile at things but I haven't been able to do it since April 1st. Please somehow make me know you're living big up there and you're ok. I love you so much bud! I wish I could hug you and see that smile again. One day, I do believe I will but it's not anywhere close to soon enough.

As time passes, the pain is greater. I'm missing you more and more each day. The longer it's been since I've gotten a hug or a hey ma, the more sadness I feel. Whoever said times heals all, they had absolutely no idea what they were talking about. Missing you physically hurts. Missing you kid!
