Reflections for Sergeant Chris Jenkins
Another month and 47 now and the next one will be four years and I still don’t know how to process this . I pray and sometimes I feel like I crawl through the day and it never ends and when I try to stand and pretend it’s okay. I realize it’s not because you are not here . When a mother carries her child he is a part of her self and soul ..And only a mother can feel that . I held you in my arms and I loved you first . And I have that same love for your sister , son and daughter. . I love and miss you more and more . Fly high sweet angel .
Love MOM

Another year and almost 47 months in a couple of days .Today your son ask the love of his life to marry him . You would be so proud of the man and dad he is . I told him you and I would be there with him when he ask her . I know he would love to share this special time with you . He did good .Chris this has been a hard one for me when things happen that I know you should be a part of and here to enjoy watching your children experience milestones in their lives. .
I love and miss you more than anything . I feel like I have to crawl my way through the day sometimes and it hurts when I even breathe .
Welcome another brother in blue in heaven .Clay has to go to another service Sunday. I pray for him everyday . I love you my sweet angel. MOM

46months now and I still feel like it was yesterday. You are missed so much . Every day I look for you to pass or call . I still can hear your voice Chris and smell you when you walk in. It’s almost Christmas and you would love watching your sister and her boys . They want cologne now so funny. Just like Clay would do . You are missed so much and loved . Elvie is walking and the best baby . You would have her so spoiled and proud. I hope I can tell her all about you . She loves your pictures . And I let her have them so she will know you. I love and miss you my Angel.

Another month Chris,and 41 now .The last few months have been so hard and this month I have felt you so close to me . Your beautiful little granddaughter has made a very big impression on a lot of people and the sweetest personality . Clay has already forming a basketball team for her . I hope I get to watch her but I might have to watch her with you . It is so fun to watch him be a dad and he does things the way you did with him and Chloee . We love and miss you so much and my heart aches for you. Tomorrow is the fourth and I know you loved to cook out . Things aren’t the same anymore but I am trying to help them and your sister. But your mom is getting to show her age .I love you my son . Watch over your babies . So much to tell you but we will catch up soon. Love you

Can’t believe it’s been 40 months now .I still live that day every day when I get up . I love and miss you every day .I was looking through some papers today and found some birthday cards your sister wrote you . They were when you were leaving for the Air Force . She really did love you and she thought she was your mom to and wanted to always take care of you . Father’s Day is coming up and it’s Clays first one . You would be so proud of him. He said he always wanted to be as a good dad as you were to him . Your granddaughter is just beautiful and so easy to love . You would be having such a good time with her. I
I love and miss you so so much . I dreamed you tried to call me . I thought I heard my phone ring and your name was on it . I kept trying to answer it . It’s so hard not to hear your voice or get a text from you . But I will one day when I get to come home and see you . Just look for me when I get there so you can show me everything you have seen . Love you my sweet SON , Mom

my sweet daddy. it’s national police week and everything reminds me of you. it’s weird because i remember how close i felt to you when i was there a couple of years ago. it’s strange how i feel closest to you when im states away from our home.
i finished my first year of college, im keeping my apartment, and i got a german shepherd. you’d love her dad. she’s adorable.
elvie faye is growing like weeds. she’s a beautiful baby and i’d give anything for you to see her. i wish we got to see you be a grandad. you’d be the best.
wayne’s wedding is coming up. i know you feel bad about missing it, but we all know you’ll be there with us somehow. wayne knew how much you loved her.
see you soon daddy. i love you more than anything.

39 months and a day that I have not one minute stopped thinking of you . It’s raining and not even a drop that falls has seemed like tears that I have cried for you the last 39months . I miss you so very much and it seems like I am still in a dream. It doesn’t seem fair either that I get to hold and love your sweet sweet granddaughter and you don’t . She is going to miss out on knowing and loving you Chris . I wish I could trade places with you . I know you are happy and not struggling anymore . God has a plan for us all and I know I am not supposed to question it but my heart tells me differently . I hope you can see how beautiful she is and when I hold her I feel like I am holding a piece of you . I know God is looking down on us and I have to ask for forgiveness every day because I don’t understand why I am here and you are not . I know he needed another Angel and he got a good one . I love and miss you so much my sweet sweet Son .

38Now and my heart was so heavy for you today as I sit with you this morning . It’s still so hard to believe that you are not here. I still look for you as i pass by your department. All the memories of you are everywhere I look. As I held your beautiful baby girl and she sleeps in my arms and she looks so much like you in your baby pictures . I was trying to take a picture of her and the potter and the clay song came across my phone and as I listened to the words of being empty and broken I realized how broken I am . And I can’t seem to find all the pieces to put myself back together again . And as I looked at her I saw how perfect she is . God took a little piece of Clay and made her so beautiful and innocent. Watch over her My sweet Angel. Maybe in time God will help me find some of my pieces to put me back together . I love and miss you so very much and my heart will never be whole again until I see you and I can’t wait to see and hold you one more time and I will not let you go. Love you MOM

Yesterday was another hard day . It was 21years that Jason left us . I will never forget that day when you called me to tell me not to come to your graduation. That was a day our family was changed for ever . And after that I felt that God had a plan for me . And to be there and help Jason’s dad . But little did I know that the biggest trial of my life was ahead of me .
And I can’t crawl out of this deep dark hole I am in . I get up and try to hide everything I feel but the grief has no end or time. I know you and Jason are together and smiling down on us. I love and miss you so very much .
Tomorrow is Clay’s birthday and you would be so proud of him . He sure does love his baby girl . He is a wonderful dad . Celebrateing isn’t the same either but we did . Chloee came up and she is doing good . She is our joy . She try’s to take care of me and I love her so much for the respect she shows me . She says the baby looks like her ❤️. Trying to be there for all of them and let them know how much I love them. But my heart aches for you that you are not here . I know you are in heaven with our family and I will see you soon. Love you. MOM

Another month and now 37. And it doesn’t get any easier even if it’s a month a day or a minute . It seems so unreal that you are not here. I miss you so much . Chloee called Elvie and angle and that she is. Got to see her today and she was so sweet. Gave her an extra hug for you . I know you would already have her spoiled . I see you in her and Clay also but I look for the resemblance like we all do but she looks like Summer too . But knowing she is a little part of you and I get to see her makes me happy but sad that you don’t get to be a part of her life breaks my heart . I promise I will tell her all about you . I love and miss you so very much . Mom

Today is 36 now . 3years have passed now since you left us . I wish I could have been with you that morning just for a few seconds to take your hand tell you how much I love you and say goodbye . But that would have been so hard to do. But I would have got to see you . I know you knew I loved you but I love to tell you . I love to tell Missy the boys Dan. Chloee , Clay and now Elvie I love them . We know now that is so very important now .
There was a big turn out for you today . You were remembered well. I still look for you to walk in and hear your voice and you tell me not to talk to the sheriff . Then I would ask him if he needs to talk to me . Then start laughing . You made Such an impact .
Chris you wrote your own story and I was so proud to be just a small part of it . I love and miss you . MOM

There is so much I would love to tell you . Chris you are so missed by everyone . How do I put into words how much my heart aches for you. I was so proud of everything you did and so proud to be your mom.
I know there are so many other parents out there that have lost their sons and daughters in the line of duty . And I don’t know how they do it . I have to ask God to get me through each day . But I can’t wait to see you and I can hug you and not let go . I love you my love .

Almost 33months now . Chris it doesn’t seem possible that you are not here. My head tells me every morning when I get up another day without you I have to start all over again . But my heart doesn’t want to believe you are gone . I still look for you to drive down the road or walk in the door . I have really really missed you this week . You are all that’s on my mind . Looking at pictures and things going on here. Some things you don’t want to see. But your mom really wishes I could talk to you about . But I can hear you saying it will be ok . And I I have to leave it in Gods hands .
I love and miss you so so much. You were and still are a special presence in our family and community . You have 2 new coins from a special person . I check on you every day . Love you my sweet angel

It’s been 31 now and not any better . The pain of you not being here and hear your voice is s unbearable. I woke up yesterday on the day you left and I felt like something just left my body again. Just to remember the time and some things I can’t remember.But I remember your touch, your smile, your laughter and the warmth and love you brought to a room and everyone around you . I can still smell your cologne. I love and miss you so much . I am sitting here with you today trying to search for you . I hope you can see how much I love and miss you . But I will see you soon my sweet sweet Son , Love Mom

My heart is so full of memories that flows out my eyes that I can’t see the to tell you how much you are missed and loved . 30 months gone by and not a day or minute goes by without thinking of you . Chloee goes to college tomorrow and the boys start Tuesday . Jaxson is so much like you at this age it is unbelievable . And you would be laughing at Gabe the way he loves to push Missy’s buttons . I wish you were here to see all the things you are missing . But I know you are in a beautiful place with no pain or struggles . As Kristie says that you would say (it’s going to be ok) but it doesn’t take away the pain . You are a part of my soul. You will never be forgotten . I love you MOM
