Wow. Its been a long time. Six years ago today, our little one went to be with Jesus. He has been gone longer than we had him. Sometimes that thought is a little shocking to me. I look out the windows today and see the sun shining and the grass growing and its a beautiful day, just like it was six years ago. By the time we dealt with the physical reality of his leaving us, we had the whole day to ourselves...except for the phone ringing. I remember we ate out, but weren't hungry. I also remember going to the city library...for what, I have no idea. I just remember the library. And how odd it was to just take care of one child. Boo had just turned seven three weeks before, so she still needed assistance every now and then. But still, it was very odd, to go from having to buckle two kids into car seats, and pack a bag and everything else, to just walk out the door, in an eerily carefree manner. That was mainly what we experienced that day. Just the strangeness of our new 'normal'. It would take quite a while to be comfortable with it... sometimes were aren't sure that we are, even now.. other times, its strange how normal it really is. You feel sad when you feel one thing and bad when you feel another. Just a strange day. I am thankful for the weather being pretty today. It's so special to me that his home going day was a pretty one... one brimming with new life and the hope of spring. Praise God!
Mark 10:14-15
"But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child will not enter it at all."
