About Us

I have so many thoughts flying through my mind tonight, to begin with though I want to thank everyone for the prayers on our behalf during this time. We have truly felt the peace and love of God and I believe that it is from those prayers.  The memorial was both sad and very beautiful, Chris has many friends that drove/flew many miles to be there, he is very loved. We were able to stay at our daughters house last night so that we could attend church with her and see 2 of our grandsons in a Christmas play, then drove home and celebrated my 3 year old granddaughters birthday. I am home now and simply reflecting on this past week. Our 7 year old gson,Riley, was signing this morning to the song  'Mary Did you Know' as I watched him, I thought, wow it was just last year at this time he was still going through chemo and he couldn't go in public without a mask on, and look at him on stage, singing, signing and smiling with the other kids .. We wont get to spend Christmas with Chris this year or with Seth,(our youngest son) but what we will be doing is celebrating the birth of Seths baby, Emma who just turned 3 , I was sad,because he hasn't been to one birthday party for her, (he was arrested before she turned 1 ) but he called her on the phone and she knows his voice... we will be celebrating the life that Chris lived on this earth, we will celebrate that we still have our little Riley, and he is cancer-free and all of our precious grandchildren, and children that we love so much. You know the holidays are so hard, that first Christmas without Seth was also the first Christmas without my Dad, my father in law and 2 of my very best friends, it was hard,but we survived,  I think I was in a fog the whole year. Last year was better, I miss them all so much, but this year will even be better than last, I am choosing to celebrate and stop being so sad, I know I can choose what I think about, I still have small moments of sadness, but I intend to look at my many blessings everytime that sadness pops in my mind, this year I celebrate Christmas and life. Tomorrow will be a better day. : )Thank you all for your prayers. I will continue to pray for all of the us mothers who cannot spend the holidays with their sons and daughters, whatever the reason may be. Live, laugh and love as much as possible.
