First Day of School

Standing in the same spot her Big Sister Lindsey stood 2 years ago!

Lindsey would be so proud.
Can you believe Cadence is so grown up now? Here the girls are together on Lindsey's first day. Cadence loved her first day of school. Her teacher is Mrs. Stephenson and the assistant teacher is Mrs. Crabtree, the same assistant that taught Lindsey.

Another Month

On the 7th of every month we can't help but to dwell on what happened on November 7, 2006. There is something about yet another month going by without our precious daughter. It still seems unreal that she is gone and has been for 21months. We are getting further and further away from a life that included her. That is difficult to manage. Right now we have such a wide range of emotions, we are so overjoyed by the birth of beautiful Selah and are so excited for Cadence as she is about to begin school, and yet we still have such a heartache that cannot be expressed over missing Lindsey. How does one deal with such a wide spread of emotions? Well, for one, lots and lots of tears, mixed with cries out to God for strength. We recently heard a wonderful message about how God is near to the brokenhearted. It was a great reminder that we are not alone for in Isaiah 61:1 it says that He has come to heal the brokenhearted. So that is how we handle such a time, we look to the Lord God and cry to Him for He and He alone will heal our hearts!
