The Walk We Take

This blog is our walk, our way after the loss of a wonderful son, brother, & friend.
At only 21 years old our beautiful Dayton was killed in a horrible car accident and went home to be with our Heavenly Father.
Dayton Tyler Beard was a young man full of life. His love for family, friends, and our Heavenly Father surpassed many. He loved to fish, hunt, dance, mudding, horseback riding, working on cars and the Army; but his true love was others, he loved being around others, he loved helping others. That was one of the reasons he joined the Army. He had such an amazing effect on everyone he came into contact with, and that would be why he was loved by so many and will be greatly missed. It has been breathtaking as to how many people has told us he was an amazing man and how he has changed their life. This young man made an impact on this world. He was part of the 13th bravo 1st brigade 2-12FA, he loved being a soldier, son, brother, & friend.

Looking Back -- Facebook posts December 25 - December 31

Merry Christmas my sweet baby! I love you and miss you bunches and bunches! And I just wanted to say thank you for all the pennies you have been leaving over the past few weeks for us to remind us that you are here. You are sooo missed here. I seem to be spending more time thinking about you and wishing I could see you than I do anything else. But I am so thankful to know that one day I will.

I missed you soooo much today. And would have given so much to have you here. But I would take you out of paradise for anything in the world no matter how much I love and miss you.

I must say I have. This past 2+ months have been hard. Missing you is putting it mildly. I guess that's because I love you more than any words can ever express. You will always hold a part of my heart. When you left a part of my heart went with you. I spend so much time feeling lost, but thank heavens I can follow the light of the Lord which is a way better path than any other.

Well I went by to have one of our chats today. Oh how I miss them. Thank you my sweet angel for being with me every day.

Well bub, this Xtreme Winter Confidence in Branson Mo has been fun. 1 more day to go. And as thankful as I am for getting to be here with all 3 of your baby brothers I can't help but feel very sad and guilty because I never got the opportunity to go with you and Troy Wayne. I find myself thinking about you pretty much the whole time. Like boys Dayton would hate this band or even Dayton would be flirting with that girl. Haha. I miss you so much. And to you and TJ I am so sorry I never got to come with you. I love you both to the moon and back. Xoxo to heaven 1st class to you.

WOW! Setting here and I look over towards the kids and Kyler Beard was laughing and I had to take a double take because I totally seen Dayton! I mean I have always said they looked alike but wow not that much.

Well, my sweet angel 2014 has been the hardest year of my life so I am glad to see it go. But trying to look onward to 2015 with out you in the picture is something I am not looking forward to. I find myself still checking my phone to see if you had called, checking facebook to see that handsome face of yours and ready your "today's positive words", I even find myself thinking about when I can make the next trip to Colorado to see you. Christmas was hard, I seen so many things that I wanted to get you, and even picked up a few before realizing USPS doesn't deliver to heaven. I still walk around lost most of the time, it is something that I don't even know how to explain, but I truly feel like part of me is missing. I also find myself being very homesick for heaven way more than I use to. I guess because I know that you will be waiting there open armed for me and I will finally get another one of your wonderful hugs. I know someday the hurt will get easier to deal with. And I know you would want me to move on, and oh how I try, but it seems like every single thing I do /see/hear reminds me of you. Missing you is putting it mildly. I love you baby - Happy New Year in Heaven.
