I just don't Understand

I never really realized how much you held this family together until a couple weeks ago. Or maybe I've just been blind to the goings on within our family. Either way, ever since you went home we've been slowly slipping downhill apart from each other. I wish this weren't the case. I wish you were here to bring us back together.

Miss You Still

I miss you. As it nears April 19th tears wet my cheek yet again at the precious memory of you. You will not be sad though, will you? That is the day you felt life for the first time ever. Life as God intended it to be felt.
I imagine you in a lush green pasture, under a beautiful fruit tree, sitting there relaxing in its shade you bite into the sweetest fruit you've ever had. You are at peace. You are well. You are whole.
I miss you. I am so happy for you and I love that you are walking and talking with Jesus, but I miss you like crazy. I am not sure if these notes reach heaven or not, but if they do, know that you are still so deeply loved and so greatly missed. This place is not the same without you. I am sure they are saying the same thing where you are now!

I love you.

P.S. I took my kids swimming in the cold cold creek recently. They loved it! Remember the fun we used to have in that creek? I will never forget those sweet memories.
