1 Month

Saturday the 25th marked 1 month. We have our "M&M’s" (Micah Moments) every now and again.There is not a day that passes that he isn't thought of with fondness. Our Micah Moments come suddenly and at unexpected times. Every once in awhile it hits so very hard as our memory recalls him so vividly. All of a sudden I become filled with a sadness and a peace at the same time. The gas station where Luke would stop and let the boys get "Bug Juice" each trip to Maw & Paws, a meeting at the church building, a park where he played, the toy isle where he'd say, "Look at dat Momma, Look at dat!" His lil fingerprints are everywhere we travel. His cheerful checks and joyful lil heart we miss so. But what a blessing to have so many memories. Our memories are so grand and how wonderful that in the not too distant future our memories of our little man will be reality once again. How our thankfulness continues to grow for our Savior! We love how CC does so many things like Micah, even wanting to wear her crocs to bed! It is so fun for Luke & I to watch, she even sleeps like him on her belly with her arms tucked by her side!

On Saturday we were in DE at Maw & Paws for the weekend visiting and just enjoying being together. It was a wonderful day playing with the kiddos, eating yummy food and hanging out. Braet, Luke & I were in the pool off and on all day. What a joy to play with Braeton and him watch swim, what a lil fish! As I was laying down in a lawn chair thinking about the wonderful day we were enjoying, my thoughts went to Micah. I wonder what my lil man is doing right now? Is he cuddled up in the arms of Jesus, maybe chasing a rainbow to the very end, or having a jam session- he loved to play and sing songs to Jesus, maybe he's singing praises right now. Whatever it is I am sure it is grand. As wonderful as our best days are, his are hundreds of times better because peace, rest, joy, hope, and love are his in perfection as the presence of the Savior is forever his home.

For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. Ps 84:10

Thanks for continuing the journey with us. So many have become dear. We have met many new friends and treasured old ones all the more. So grateful for each of you!

FYI
Next week we hope to try and pick out Micah's headstone. Pray for our hearts, our desire is to purchase something special to pay a small tribute to our little man.
