It was 10 years ago today. I can’t believe it’s been 10 years. I also can’t believe how strong the sorrow still is when this time of year comes around. There’s not a day goes by that I do not think of him. I was drawn to your post when I saw the pictures. I also have three boys – who are now teenagers- but the pictures reminded me so much of my boys when they were young. We have similar pictures of them writing letters, releasing balloons. We donate books on his birthday. Thank you for sharing your experience on how you coped with the loss of your precious little girl….

She is so blessed to have a family who loves like you all do!

Part of me wants to sigh for you and say, “Whew! Another year of grief behind you, “but, we both know, there are still milestones ahead for the years to come. Thankfully, Jesus waits at those birthdays and funeral days just as HE did this year. Full of grace, hope, peace and heavenly arms outstretched waiting for whatever pain, grief and hope you are willing to give Him. Repeat as needed. He doesn’t mind.

Your celebration of Anna blessed me. I know it knocked HIS holy socks off! Way to go Anna’s family.
