Hi DougMcLive,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities. This may be due to your settings and how long conversations are kept. To prevent this going forward, go to Settings > Messages > Keep Messages, then select the option that works best for you. Once messages or conversations are deleted, they cannot be retrieved. Check out Use Messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support for full details.
Have a great day!
