Dear Jordy-Bug,
Today I am thankful for all of our aunts, uncles, and cousins who have sent cards, lit candles in your honor, walked with us for you in the Share Walk for Remembrance, attended your funeral, sent flowers or memorial plaques, donated money in your name, left messages on Facebook, prayed, and/or cried with and for us. We don't see many of them very often, but they have made themselves present in our lives this year when it counted most. We are blessed to have them in our corner.
All of Mommy's and Daddy's grandmas and grandpas are up in heaven with you, sweet girl. And although we no longer have physical access to them, we are grateful for the time we had with them here on earth. We hope that you've already made many wonderful memories with all of them. Some days, the only thing that gets me through is picturing you in their arms.
I love you, Bug.
Love,

30 Days of Thanks: Day 19--Extended Family
I'm a wife to an amazing man, a mother to a beautiful baby girl in heaven, and her little sister and baby brother on earth. I'm a daughter, a sister, an aunt, a niece, a cousin, a friend, a Christian, an Instructional Coach, a Packer Fan, a Badger Fan, and a bit of a neat freak.

ReplyDeleteThank you, Carla. :)
DeleteWonderful blog. So many gone to rest to early in life, but God has his reasons and we will have to wait till we get to the Pearly gates to find the answers. I will be glad when this year is over, so many bad memories and heartbreaking moments.
