Last day of school, on to Middle School!

  

Congratulations Taylor on an awesome 6 years of elementary school. You are smart and beautiful and have an incredible future ahead.  You had a rough year but you came out a stronger person.   

We love you baby!

Grief sucks!

The sun was warm but the wind was chill. 

You know how it is with an April day

When the sun is out and the wind is still,

You're one month on in the month of May. 

But if you so much as dare to speak

A cloud comes over the sunlit arch,

A wind comes off a frozen peak,

And you're two months back in the middle of March. 

-  Robert Frost

Seems lately everyday is different emotionally.  I miss her so much every second but sometimes it just knocks the wind right out of me and sends me back to that hospital room and saying goodbye. Sometimes I feel she's just at school and sometimes it feels like I haven't seen her in 20 years. Of course their is joy in my life but the wind off the frozen peak is never far away.  

I miss you my beauty! 

Love!

The Bridge

There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love the only survival the only meaning.

Mystery...

Suffering breaks our world. Like a tree struck by lightening - splintered, shaken, denuded - our world is broken by suffering, and we will never be the same again. What will become of us is a mystery.      Nathan Kollar

Happy 9th Birthday!

And of course Happy Birthday in heaven to our sweet and dearly missed Lauren Ruthie Bear, we love you both forever and a day! 

Happy Easter!

Went to the Lake Oswego golf course for an Easter egg hunt/golfing event sponsored by the "Mobility Impaired Golfing Assoc". Had a great time and Ali declared "golfing is my new favorite sport". Aaron was beaming!  She was a real pro at it too.
