Grieving

Made For You

Life is funny, life is sad, life is hard, life is blessed, life is hurt, life is pain, life is joy, life is beautiful, life is love. All of these are true, yet so contradicting. I have felt all of this on all levels in my life. I have experienced all of these versions of [&hellip

Every Day

I will wake up knowing you are not physically next to me. I will go to bed knowing the next day will be the same as today. I am one day closer to seeing you again. Gabe

Wake Up

Gabe: “Ok, Brody its bedtime”. Brody: “Ok, Daddy”. Gabe: “Lets go”. We begin our walk with our normal routine of stopping at the family picture hanging on the wall next to the hallway leading to Brody’s room. Brody kisses Mommy. I stay for a second longer… Gabe: “Say I love you Mommy”. Brody: “I love [&hellip

Sharing

One of the first lessons we are taught as soon as we come in to this life is to share. In the beginning it means you have to give your toy to someone else. As you grow the meaning grows. The next one is that of telling your parents how your day went. Again, it [&hellip

Playing the Role

I Forgive You

As much as I would like everything to have been “good” between Lindsay and me, it wouldn’t be the truth and not ALL lessons would be told… This is a story that haunts me, but also a story that teaches a beautiful lesson. I have always said it is my “one regret” in life and [&hellip

Perfectly Imperfect

As the sun rises, I see things for what they are. I see the mountains, the ocean, the birds chirping beside me, the rocks, the trees… All of God’s creations. They are all perfect. I start thinking about how God created all of this in 5 days. On the 6th day he created his one [&hellip

Choices

Who to love? I, Gabe, take thee Lindsay, to be my wife, and before God and these witnesses I promise to be a faithful and true husband. With this ring I thee wed. In sickness and in health, in poverty or in wealth, ’til death do us part… We now know all these words in [&hellip
