Today is one of those days you would like to travel back in time. However, it’s one of those days that changed your life forever and will never be the same. The hardest event for a parent is to see their child go to heaven. Today marks the fifth anniversary of our son going home to be with his Lord and Savior. Today is a bittersweet day. We are sad that he is not with us here on earth. But, we are happy that he is in Heaven. It is not for us to question God’s plan but rather embrace how perfect it is. We knew from the beginning that our children were a blessing from Our Father and only on loan to us. We always said and we believe that they are a reward given to us so that we may raise them in that they may know and worship their Father. That is our testimony. It’s a lot easier to say than live. We are thankful that God allowed us to have him for 20 years. There is not a day that goes by that we do not miss him. However, we know all things work to the glory of God.
We both know how hard this day is for us. So with Gina in New Jersey and me in Houston I decided at the last minute to catch a flight to New Jersey Friday night to spend the weekend with Gina. We do not have anything planned other than spending the day together. Ashley is on call at the hospital so we have Jolee to keep us laughing today.
Gina & I hope everyone has a pleasant and wonderful day, enjoying what our Father has so graciously blessed us with.
