Reflections for Patrolman James Andres Archuleta
Hiya James. I'm not sure why I chose the reflection wall today as you are in my prayers daily anyway but glad to be back. I am putting addresses together for graduation announcements and as I was writing down Veronica's and Jesse James, it just didn't feel right. Not complete. I know it will be four years, but time just eases the pain,
we still miss you no matter how long. Anyway, I know how much Brooke loved you and how much she would want you to
be there. So, this is your personal invite to join us.
You and my Dad watch over and join in the celebration of
her graduation, her new beginning of the next steps in her life. We are very proud of her. Just as we were of you!
God Bless

Good morning James. It's about 4:30 a.m. and I'm here watching the moons' glow on the slightly snow covered mountains. The trees that nestle themselves high on top look so small from here. The mountains seem to take on a slight glow all by themselves. The wind is still and there is a chill in the air. The sky is so clear you can just about count all the stars. I like to believe you're winking back at us. All that seems to matter & exist in this moment, is the beauty of the sight before me and the peacefulness I feel inside while I think of you. I'm so at peace right now, I can't help but have a smile on my face. Thoughts of you do this to me. I remember the times you and I would sit on the tailgate of my Chevy pick-up in El Rito and just look up into the star filled sky. I always knew they were there, but you made me aware of the true beauty of it all. You told me one day we'd have a beautiful home out under the stars. That we'd always be able to admire the stars together. We made that dream come true, indeed we did. My heart sinks to think of all the beauty around me and you not here to see it with me. I know you have a much more glorious view, but I know how you loved to be up there in those mountains just taking a drive, or going hunting. In the quiet moments of the many nights I'm afforded the luxury of these beautiful sights, you're right there in my thoughts. I carry these special moments with me always. That will never change. The simple things in life that time can't erase, and words cant destroy. You taught me to live for happiness. And just because a home was built in one place, does not mean that is where the heart and body MUST remain. But instead, to go where my heart leads me because that is where I'll find my happiness. No matter where I go, James you're always with me. You've a place in my home, my happiness, and always will, right in the middle of my heart! I WIll follow where it leads me. I will look for you in the stars. Bye for now, Love Me,

Happy Heart Day James!
Today we spend our time doing things worth while with those we hold dearest to our hearts. I remember all our times out and our special meals & surprises. I miss my best friend and fun loving partner. You will forever remain in my heart. Jesse-James picked out his own outfit to wear and chose his favorite restaurant to eat at. He had a ball at his Valentine party! The girls just love him, ""Your so handsome Jesse-JAmes." He just says "Thanks" and runs to play! No big deal! He is so funny. I think he thinks all the boys are told this. Ha ha! We were at a store and I showed him a mug that talked about "sons" that had some cute animated pictures for kids on it. And he liked it but was so in awe with the large, shiny blue and metallic gold mug next to it. He asked, "What does this say?" I said, " it says "Father" and it talked of how special this man is. He simply smiled and said," Wow, that's BIG! If my Daddy were here, I would get him this one!" I said, "Daddy didn't drink coffee Hito." And he said, "But my Daddy loved Hot Chocolate!" He holds you in the warmest part of his little heart James. He says Valentines Day is for "being nice, sharing, and helping your Mommy, Daddy & Nana." I tell him it is for everyone to celebrate all the people who love you. So he rattles off all the ones he knows love him. He is so precious. He says that Valentines have to be "pink & red". EXCEPT Daddy's. Yours can be blue or green!" He says he thinks you must have a new police car by now in heaven. I say it's got to be true too! We love you James. Happy Heart Day Daddy!

Hello Son,
I spoke w/ Jessie-James and Veronica this morning. I asked Jessie-James to make me a snowman and send me a picture. He said he couldn't because he was still in his pajamas. LOL. Even as a little man you can see he will have your sense of humor. I know he will also grow up with the same type of respect, honor and dignity you displayed every day of your life.
It was an honor for Your Uncle Matt, Jennifer and myself to be there for his 5th b/day. We almost made him a marksman w/ his nerf rifle! Smiles.
Son we miss you dearly and not a day goes by where you are not in our hearts. Continue to watch over us and keep pushing us to all to be better people. You left behind a very high standard young man! I Love You!
Take care son and I'll visit with you soon.

James,
Just like I'd said, Jesse-James was happy and singing when he turned 5. He picked a cake which included you to say the least. It was really cool. He was so happy! So many people came over to celebrate with us. Many came from near and far to see him. It was a great time. He has some great memories, and mama with her camera as always makes sure of this. Ha! Ha! His Grandpa, Uncle Matt just love him to pieces. Everyone does actually. He is so smart, I shouldn't me amazed, but he always seems to amaze me how insightful he is. Our little boy knows what is right and wrong and just what goes on around him. He has a clear idea of how important our loved ones are. He is my greatest treasure. He always will be. We love you James, nothing can change what we had. You're always in our hearts!
Love

Happy New Year James!
The new year began and everyone again thought of all our good times together! Jesse-James still has the hope that maybe one day you'll come back. I still explain that it is not possible for him to see you now, but someday, when he is really really all grown up, he will see you again. He misses you so much, I don't really think most people truly understand how he could miss you so much for being so little when you left. But, I will always keep your memory and love for us alive in his little world. But once again, you always knew this. Once again, another year passed, but also, I get a new year with our precious son. We love and miss you always, but your in our hearts. He's almost 5 years old. You'll be with us to blow out the candles!!! I know it!

You had so many great accomplishments in such a short time of life.

Happy Birthday Marine!!!!! I know you and all your other buddies that are with you are shaking the pillars of Heaven with your celebrating! Ha!Ha! Just like when you were here with me! I was remembering all the fun we always had at the Marine Corp Balls. I smile when I remember washing your gloves to make then as white as possible, and helping you button that top neck button on your dress blues jacket. God, you were so perfect in that uniform, the perfect Marine! Even when others rid their hats and gloves 1/2 way through the night, you always stood proud fully dressed, saying, "Once a Marine, always a Marine, and this is how its done." We always had so much fun dancing and laughing with all your Marine brothers. I know you're in great company, & my heart is heavy with you not here with me to celebrate. But I'm also happy in my memories of your smile and laughter. I remember how we always had to look perfect before entering the ballroom, you so proud! You always took the lead when carrying the flags for the opening cememony. I was always so proud to have you on my arm, but then again, it was like that wether for the balls or life in general! I was looking at all my dresses for the balls, and remember your special thoughts on each one of them. I always smile to myself with all our special secret memories. You were so articulate. I loved you then, and I love you still. I always will James. Thank you for so many bright and happy memories Marine. You will remain forever in my heart James. Our son sings the Marine Corp Hyme for his daddy now. Jesse-James is amazing. We love you Devil Dog!!!!!! I know you're standing strong & proud as always!!!!!!

Hey Brother,
How are you, how's heaven treating you? Of course I already know the answer to that, but thought I'd ask anyway. It's about 0300 in the morning and I'm here at work, I've been thinking about you all day long, you know how sometimes you have those days where nothing else matters except the thought in your head? Well it's been one of those days, and the thought of you has been here all day. Maybe I'm just missin you more than usual.
The kids were so cute for Halloween. Alexis was Wonder Woman, Jesse-James was a lil pirate, Alicia & Aliyah were both scary fairy devil's, and Athena was some type of punk rock girl. We took them out trick or treating and only had to go to El Rito, there was hardly anyone out, so everyone was giving the girls handfuls of candy just to get rid of it. It was a weird Halloween, but the kids enjoyed it, so that's all that matters.
Well I better get back to work now, you know they don't pay me to sit here and chat.:) I'll check in with you again real soon. Love You.
Until We Meet Again, You Are Forever In My Heart

Tough times are coming for your family, the holidays are almost here, which makes it hard for all the ones that loved you, please continue to watch over them. Holiday's will never be the same for your Mom and Dad and children. Continue to send your strength from heaven. Always remember that you are never forgotten, your close to their hearts, mind, body and soul. Rest in peace and remember that you are loved so much

James,
How are things up there in God's kingdom? I bet it is so beautiful. Just wanted you to know that your not forgotten, your mom and dad remember you all the time. Your always in our conversation. Continue to watch down on them James, they miss you so much. You were a son any parent would love to have. Everything talked about you is always so beautiful, I just wished I would have gotten to know you longer. Alexis is getting to be a very beautiful girl, continue to watch over here she misses her daddy so much. Jesse James looks alot like you to. You will forever be in your mom and dad's heart and never forgotten. Peace be with you, and continue to watch down on all the person's you love. You were a real man with many accomplishments.

Good Morning James,
Happy 31st Birthday, I wish we could all be together like we use to be. Things have been so different since you went away. I had a dream of you about 10 days ago and you were packing to go somewhere. You gave me that picture, the one with the stitches in your eyebrow. I was kinda mad because you gave me that one. I always ask you to come visit me, and it had been over a year since your last visit. Dad was going hunting that morning, and when he was leaving I felt as though it would be the last time I would see him. I hugged him and cried and when he left I stood at the window to watch him drive off. For the first time in 20 some years and I had never felt like that. I know your leaving has made us all so aware that any day could be our last. There are so many things that are still left undone and I plan to correct that soon. I know it doesn't matter who is at fault, the fact is that when the end is here who did the right thing. You were so perfect in so many ways. I know that you are watching down on us. We love you and we all miss you very much. So until we meet again James take care of us and remember.. Your always in our hearts.
Love You

Happy 31st Birthday in Heaven James!
Jesse-James is so excited to celebrate today for you. He's picked out your cake and knows it's time for all the fun things we've been planning. He didn't want me to go to work so that I'd be home earlier than usual so the fun could start. He insisted on all the balloons his little hands could carry! He's colored you so many little pictures to tie to the baloons. Yes, all the green baloons are for his Daddy! James, I wish you were here to see our son and his amazing smile when he talks about you. He is so proud of his Daddy! Anyone asks, and he tells them about you and all the things you did! Everyone says he's so smart! I miss you greatly James. So many of our plans and dreams I had to let go. You aren't here with me to fulfill them. You are carried in the center of my heart always. This will never change. Our love endures, no matter what may come. It endures! I know you are with us in spirit, I can feel this. It would just be so heart breakingly beautiful to see you walk though the door, hug you and tell you we'd missed you & loved you! It would be awsome to have Jesse-James in your arms. But again, I know you're his greatest fan and his guardian angel! So we celebrate today with you James, and when Jesse-James blows out the candles on your cake, know that his little hearts greatest wish is that you'd come back to play. Happy Birthday James, we love you with all our hearts and know the angels are singing your praises!

Hi James,
You are so missed by Levie and Phyllis. You are always brought up in conversation. You were so loved by both of them. Your mom say's that you were the light of her life, and things have changed so much now that you are gone. Please continue to send your love to both of them from heaven. You are gone but never forgotten and you will forever be in their hearts.
A good friend of Levie and Phyllis.
