Facebook just notified me that I hadnt posted to this page for several days. I guess I just dont know what to say. The start to this year has been difficult for me. The grief seems to have hit especially hard and I keep trying to find some way to connect to Todd. It helps me to write down memories or look through pictures or watch videos. During those moments, I feel like I am with him again. We are reaching the two year mark of when we found out that Todds tumor had returned. Its impossible not to remember all the sad emotions of that time, nor can I forget Gods Hand on Todds life and the amazing way He ministered to my sweet boy. Its such a mixture of emotions. Overall, our family is doing fairly well. David is still very busy with teaching and running the sound for our church as well as his normal outside jobs. He is very sympathetic when I feel weepy and never makes me feel like I cant cry if I need to--sometimes he joins me! We dont cry all the time. Believe me, we laugh together a lot! Brandon is in his freshman year of college as a Criminal Justice major. Look out world! He loves it--maybe not the school work--but the experience part. He is working a security job during the school year and will be a pool manager this summer and has been with the cadet program for years. Lauren enjoys her friends at school--again, maybe not the school work--and enjoys playing piano. Jeffrey enjoys his friends at school--not the school work--sorry, this is all my fault. I never liked school work either. The kids got the social bunny skills from me! Jeffrey has had a hard time lately in missing Todd as well. Please pray for him if you think about it. Its tough. He and Todd were buddies and the loss is great. Some of Todds friends have been especially kind to him and I really appreciate the attention they give him. On a happy note, Gracie continues to absorb much of our love as we all cuddle up to her soft fur for comfort. She just turned two! The Lord continues to minister to our family in different ways. We continue to attend our support group once a month for parents who have lost kids to cancer and its often the highlight of the month. These people are dear to our family and we think about them and pray for them often. We try to live one day at a time because we only have strength for today and His grace is sufficient! God bless you all for your care for our family.
