So long, my love...




It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we must bid you farewell, for now.

She wasn't supposed to leave us this soon. She was going to get strong enough to enjoy just a little more time. I know it is all on the Lord's timetable, but that sure doesn't make it any easier.

On July 1st at 6:14am the world lost the most sweetest angel and heaven gained the most glorious spirit. My heart is so full; it hurts so bad right now. I don't want life to go on without her. I don't want her miss out on all the wonderful earthly events that will transpire throughout the years.

Last Saturday when she was admitted to the hospital all of her family was able gather around her and whisper to her their love and adoration for her. It would truly be the last time she would be fully able to communicate back to you and in that all too short of a moment I had with her I gained more wisdom and comfort than I have ever before. I find it so unbelievably appropriate that during her last few days that SHE would be comforting ME. She is always in the service of her family and others and I hope that the words she spoke to me will never fade from my heart. I love you and miss you so much mom!!

Last Sunday (May 20th) we were eating dinner with the TV on in the background turned down pretty low. We were all talking about random things and then some image flashed on the TV. Scott looked to Brody and said ‘what is that?’. Side note: we are always trying to quiz him on what things look like and what he sees and if he can make out objects at certain distances away...given his eye issues.  Well, I don’t remember what the photo or image was on TV, but I remember his answer being not quite right. So a few seconds later something else appeared on TV - I think it was a cactus - and we quickly asked Brody ‘what is that?’... and he said cactus. And then a dog came on the screen and he just said dog (like the trained animal HE is ;-). And then...the next thing that came on the screen was a photo of some restaurant’s wine cellar and wine selection. So I asked,

Our prima ballerina!

Miss Sammy had her 2nd dance recital with Miss Annie's dance class. I was beaming ear to ear watching her dance her heart out. She was absolutely beautiful, graceful and completely poised. I'm so glad she enjoys dance class and can't wait to start up the next session.
