First Shopping Cart Ride

I think he loved it!

I love you ADAM!

Adam has a way of bringing tears to my eyes, whether he tries to or not. I love you brother! Anyway, on the anniversary of Danny's death Adam tried to call me when I was picking up Enzo from daycare. I get back to the car to see a missed call and then a text message came through. Mind you, Adam doesn't text, he's too cool for that. The text read "Hey, I hope you're having a good day today. I love you sister!" And what did I do, CRIED! He's an amazing man and I'm so grateful to have him for a brother.

That was for you Paul!

No Words Needed

I love you Danny!

It's crazy to think that tomorrow 7/11/08 will be 6 years since the passing of Danny. I think of him daily and will never forget the amazing child that God gave me and the love he held for not only I, but every one around him. I love you son. Until We Meet Again...
I saw this poem and wanted to share because a lot of what it says is how I believe and cope. I try to live in Faith.

Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I, and you are you. Whatever we are to each other, that we are still. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we have always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me, let my name be ever the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effect without the trace of a shadow on it, life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is unbroken continuity. What is this death but a negligible accident? Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just around the corner. All is well.

With each passing day...

I am amazed more and more each day at how fast Enzo is growing. He's finally cutting his bottom teeth, it almost looks as if they are coming in one after another. My once well behaved child that never cried has taught me that life is full of surprises. If I didn't know of him teething, I would have wondered why he was screaming so loud. Poor lil' man, it must be painful. He's so cute when it comes to getting out of the car seat. His handsome lil' face shows all sorts of excitement as he kicks around his feet and waves his arms as if he so anxious to get out. I love the smiles and attention he's been giving me more and more each day. It makes my days of mothering that much more rewarding. Enzo has been such a blessing in my life. We definitely enjoy our moments together.
