July 25 ~ 5 years with Jesus

July 25th marked five years with Jesus. I find it good for my heart to say the words in such a way because it reminds me of where he is so that I don’t just focus on the reality that he isn't here with us, he is truly in Heaven with Jesus. It can be hard  at times to know the words to say or how to relate the story—such as I find it now. We’ve learned and grown so much, Micah’s life and death has shown us so very much. We feel more deeply than ever before and yet we still miss a lil chubby man incredibly. A tier is missing from Braet to CC and thus tears. At times I cant help but wonder what life would be like with him and what adventures the boys would be on and oh how Owey looks like his brother! It does make Heaven all the sweeter….I love orange– the number nine, M&M’s, Pepsi, “Cars” and more– things that would have never been dear create memory, depth, comfort and longing.

  Thanks for the prayers over the years, the bags of M&Ms and tic-tacs, the donations to fav places , the stories and so much more. They are truly special to us.
