In the six years since one of our sons died unexpectedly, I have gradually learned that grief is like an ocean. Strong emotion ebbs and flows like the tide.

Thursday, July 2, 2015. Some of our team worked on the school building installing. Lights and laying tile floor. Meggan trying out her new skill, power washing. She thinks this could be her new summer job. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Another wonderful day doing VBS on the reservation. We were blessed with a cooler day and more rain! Working with the kids was great. Monday, June 29, 2015. Sunday, June 28, 2015. At the cross of our Creator! Let the games begin. Saturday, June 27, 2015. We have made it safe.

Alex es probablemente el niño más risueño que he visto. Sus ojos azules y su sonrisa nos deleitaron durante toda la celebración de su primer cumpleaños.

My life, as of Today. Tuesday, May 28, 2013. Make me happy at home.

Just our story raw and real. Friday, February 1, 2013. Before we left for the hospital that morning. My Journal entry from that morning. Is the glue that holds this family together. And that is who I have learned to live completely on. There is nothing I can do about the future,but take hold of his hand as I walk into it. Monday, January 14, 2013. Wife and mom will always be my first title, but my job .
