I am missing Josh this Mother's Day... I was "his Caty's mom", but he always treated me as his own . He always gave me a hug when he saw me. He checked on me on when he was off work to see if he could do anything for me or if he needed to pick anything up for me. He was always there with the rest of my kids when I was in the hospital more times than I can count and checking on me me afterwards. He sat with us in church on Sundays. He went with us on family trips. ... And on Mother's Day... He always gave me an extra big hug, told me Happy Mother's Day, told me he loved me, and he and Caty gave me a gift. I would give anything for one more hug. I know he is looking down on all of us and on his mom Teresa today. He was very, very special and I know God must have had something very special in store for him even though we may not be able to understand it here on earth. Josh was always kind and nice and looking out for others even when he didn't have to. In honor of Josh, please do one act of kindness each day. It can be something small: smiling at someone to brighten their day, checking on a neighbor, helping a co-worker, cutting someone's grass when they are not able to. Just being nice. I miss you Josh and will always remember all the hugs and thoughtfuness. “And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭4:7‬ ‭ESV‬‬ http://bible.com #MISSINGJOSH #livelikeJosh #godisgoodallthetime #godismyrefugeandstrength #motivatin#inspiration #encouragement #grief#griefsupport #lifelessons #lifeblogger (at The Swindall House)

Our days are happier when when we give people a bit of our heart rather than a piece of our mind... https://theprincessofthesouth.blogspot.com #MISSINGJOSH #livelikeJosh #OPPERATIONKINDNESS #lifequote #lifelessons #lifeblogger#godisgoodallthetime #godismyrefugeandstrength #motivation#inspiration #encouragement #quoteofteday #todaysquote

This is the first picture I took of Josh and Caty 6 years ago. Today I simply don't have words to speak through my grief and the grief I see in my daughter's eyes. I will continue however to be able to say Josh was a kind , gentle, man who was never mean- spirited toward anyone even after they had directly done something to hurt him. #LiveLikeJosh and do something nice for someone today. Please continue to pray for Caty, our family and Josh's family and friends. As always, your prayers are appreciated! #livelikeJosh #godisgoodallthetime #operationkindness

I love this picture of Caty and Josh. If you know Caty you know she has no filter on the expressions that may happen across her face in reaction to any situation. She doesn't have to speak a word and you know exactly how she feels about whatever the idea, person, or drama being played in front of her. Josh was the same... Just another sign of how really compatible they were. This was their serious face or how Caty described it... Their mean face. No matter the face or their actions their love was evident to everyone. Josh was an incredible man, especially to Caty. He never hid the fact he was madly in love with her, so very proud of her and estactic to have her as his bride. At every occasion he gave her the biggest and most romantic presents. There were never any doubts he loved our Caty just as there were never any doubts he respected and loved us as her parents and loved her siblings and nephews and niece as his own. He was "Our Josh" He will always live in our hearts and his presence is always with us. His memory will always be alive. As difficult as memories can be at this time while the pain is so fresh, they are so precious and will be forever. We remember how kind Josh ALWAYS was more than anything. To honor Josh...Please try to do one act of kindness each day... Even if it is just smiling at someone, encouraging a child, helping a neighbor, checking in on an elderly family member. None of these things cost a penny and will honor a great man who very quietly did very great things consistently throughout his life. Please continue to pray for Caty, our family and Josh's family throuhout the next days weeks and months to come. We thank you, as always for your prayers. #livelikeJosh #pray #trusthisplan🙏 #operationkindness

Emotions define a personality, allow expression of fears, dreams and love. Emotions are necessary to live in the moment, remember the past and most importantly see hope for the future. Without emotions ..... We cease to exist..... Tammy W. Swindall Please continue to pray for CATY @cswindall , my daughter, in the loss of "Our Josh" and pray for his family and ours. He is such a great loss because he was such a great man. He was ALWAYS kind,considerate of others, put others before himself, slow to anger, loyal, and loved his family and most of all his bride Caty. #livelikeJosh #pray #GodisGoodallthetime #trusthisplan🙏

The loss of "Our Josh" is still unreal but the grief and raw pain is all too real. His beautiful eyes and smile are etched in our brain forever just as the way they grew even brighter and were highlighted exponentially when they were turned to the love of his life and eventually his bride, my daughter, Caty. He loved her beyond words and she loved him back with every fiber of her being. It was evident to everyone who saw them together. So much greater the loss...to Caty...to everyone who knew him. He was so special, so kind and so giving of his time, himself and his life He was that person who after a conversation made YOU feel better EVERY time you came in contact with him, Even if you were trying to make HIM feel better. So greater the loss. Please take a moment to pray for Caty and each family. And to honor Josh... Be nice.. Do something nice...for someone everyday... even if it is something little...it won't cost you a dime...and it will carry on a great legacy of a great man who loved everyone and his Brand was KINDNESS and loving HIS CATY. #livelikeJosh #bekind #prayers #pray #operationkindness #love #godisgoodallthetime
