Coty Thomas Bridge

My first born, my Sunshine. Loved helping others & had a heart of Gold. He loved me unconditionally & I loved him the same. His brother was his 'person's & his sister, a best friend. His children were his heart & their mom his forever love.

From the day he was born his "firsts" for everything were my favorite memories. When he was 4 he said he would marry me some day. When he got older he said I was his "Ride or Die & his "Concrete Angel." The day he held his first born son he cried & said to me, "You love me like THIS?" His heart almost exploded in his chest knowing that & he broke down. The day he accepted Jesus into his heart was an answered prayer for me.

I miss his smile, his laugh & his heart. I miss his hugs horribly. I miss watching him with his children. I miss the sound of his voice & how he would call me momma. I miss him checking in to let me know he is alright & always saying "I love you more" before he hung up the phone. I miss just having him around. I miss the times he wanted to just do "normal" things with me. I miss everything we never got to experience together.

I believe Coty would want everyone to remember the good times. He would want everyone to remember that even though he was tough, he had a very soft heart. He would want people to know that his choices were his alone & that no one is to blame. He would want us all to remember he did the best he could with what he had & he loved us all regardless of being bound by addiction. He would want us to focus on the love he had for us & not the hard times or sadness of him being gone.
