No glazing over..

the fact that although we are filled with joy and thankfulness for our new blessing, our hearts still grieve the loss of Major. Every family event or milestone reminds us that he's not here, right now, to be a part of this with us. November 3rd did not come and ago without remembering that day. No matter what is going on in our lives, that day is forever marked. My prayer is that we remember the life he lived and continues to live.

It's hard.

It's much easier to say the right things then truly feel it. Through all the posts, pictures and memories there is always a underlining current of loss. Please remember Dave, Darcy and the girls in prayer. This is a long road and they are only a year into it. Please pray for the peace that surpasses all understanding, not just metaphorically, but in a real and true, get-through-the day, moment by moment, kind of way.

It's difficult at times to have faith in the midst of a lack of understanding, or when there doesn't seem to be a greater purpose in it all {I know our minds are too small to even comprehend even if it was all lined out}, but that's what we pray for. And God is patient and gentle through it....
