I won’t see maroon or purple I will see her teammates whom she loved

19 months today..some days I feel I’m still in shock and denial and some days its so real I can’t breath..missing her consumes my mind 24/7 and nothing eases the desire to have her back..Yes I feel her spirit..yes she lives in my heart..but that isn’t enough to take away the desire to hear her laughter, to hug her, to be loved by her..to watch her live..
Tonight I plan on attending the soccer game..for those that don’t know Sydney’s freshman year we only had one high school in College Station and Sophmore year her class was split as a new high school opened. Tonight is the first time those two high schools will play each other. I unlike most that will be there will not look out and see Maroon or Purple..I will look out and see her teammates whom she loved..her first high school coach on one side of the field..her last high school coach on the other side of the field..I have so many memories with so many of the girls I feel like they are part mine even though they aren’t but yet mine can only be there in Spirit..I wouldn’t want to miss it yet it is painful all the same..I’m very greatful to know that as I watch and support them that most out there will be PlayingforJeter!

Sharing Sydney’s legacy

A great surprise visit from sister #2. Catching up on life and things before surgeryThursday. Blessed I had Sydney’s book to show her. Thank you MJ for blessing me.

Now you’re going to have to bless me more with a “Selfie 101” class cuz I clearly need instruction and lots of practice. Lol 😜

Soccer team seniors 2015

This is her senior class at Consol with the framed Jersey the school blessed me with. Last year they not only honored her but retired her number. These are only the seniors but I love everyone of the girls at consol who continue to remember and honor her still today

Jeter

There isn’t much I loved more then watching her play soccer. The pain of missing her is wrapped up in every breath I take. I can’t help but feel the emptiness when I look on the soccer field. There may be 11 girls on the field but one will forever be missing to me..a little over a year and a half later and I’m still here grasping at anything and everything to keep her in my daily life. I can’t find any video of her playing when she was older so I put this together because I miss watching her play so much. Love and Miss you JETER! Thanks to all who continue to PlayforJeter

Moving into a New Year

Moving into a New Year is not the same..I’m not excited I don’t want to celebrate because with every new year reality sets in and more time is added to my life that she isn’t a part of..If you’ve wondered how we are doing..We are surviving..we appreciate the blessings Gods given us we face the next day because we weren’t given a choice and we smile because as much as we don’t want to Cameron deserves nothing less and most of all we pray for peace and comfort from the only one who can provide it..I’m going to end by sharing my biggest blessing of 2014. You see I was having a really bad day missing Sydney and hurting because of lies regrding the accident and a few ppl saying awful things about Sydney..I couldn’t believe that I was walking through the loss of my daughter and now I was dealing with such evil from those who she thought loved her..I was in my flesh broken and not wanting to move wondering why God would add this burden on me after everything..I was screaming and crying on my bed..Satan had beaten me down I wanted to give up..quit..but at that moment I heard her voice whisper its ok Mommie I’ve given you everything you need..it touched me so much that at 10:46 am on June 3rd I tweeted it. I thought at that moment she was talking about all her other writings but at that moment as peaceful as I felt I still had no idea what God had truly waiting for me to find..then about 3:30 that afternoon I found the attached in a notes section on her phone under an email I hadn’t known about before..because she was using her phone the time and date she typed this was logged under her name..she typed this approximately 7 hours before she would be leaving me to spend eternity w/God himself. At 16 she took the time to stop and type these affirmations into her phone..all of her writings address something we have struggled with and have at times given us the strength to keep going but this one is by far the most profound being written just hours before the accident. I suffer everyday missing her but there is not a doubt in my mind EVER that she watches over me as I’m blessed with sharing her legacy smiling waiting until the day we are finally reunited! I’m forever blessed by the love and faith I see in her and I will wake up every single day hoping and praying to be someone that makes her as proud as she has made me. I love you Sydney Lisa Jeter forever and always

Elf on the shelf

Everyone that knew my precious Sydney knew she was a lot like..well her Momma..she was a strong willed child and started her terrible twos at 18 months and I don’t think they every stopped. She challenged me constantly..I mean if I was going to tell her something I better have my facts backup and proof..All these pics of the elf on the self motivating kids to be good reminds me of one Christmas season when I think she was like 5 or 6 she was being a little hard to handle and I reminded her that if she wasn’t good Santa wouldn’t bring her any presents..She looked at me and said..Yes he will..I was worse last year and he still brought me lots of stuff…Of course I was speechless I mean what could I possible say to that? What I realized is that strong willed child turns into a strong independent young lady that became a beautiful intelligent Proverbs 31 lady..I miss that spunky little girl and I’m thankful for every minute she made me want to pull my hair out and all the others that she loved me with every thing she had because that’s the only way she knew how to love!

Play for Jeter homecoming

Sydney had some amazing best friends and we are so thankful that they continue to walk beside us forever helping us remember how special she was. I wanted to make sure I took the time and honored those who have sent me pics letting me know they are “Playing for Jeter” so it was the focus of the mum I made her for homecoming. I miss her more and more everyday but I’m forever honoring her with all that I have..Love you Sydney Lisa Jeter I hope you love it
