One Year and Counting






So 1 year ago yesterday we lost Dad or heaven gained him I guess would be a better way to think of it. It's been a long road and continuse to be a long road. Having Abby ask about him often is a blessing, but also a painful reminder of all that we have lost. So here are a few pics of Dad and the lyrics of a song that I've been singing to myself alot lately.



"Who told us we'd be rescued?

What has changed and why should we be saved from nightmares?

We're asking why this happen

To us who have died to live?

It's unfair.
This is what it means to be held.

How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life

And you survive.

This is what it is to be loved.

And to know that the promise was

When everything fell we'd be held.

This hand is bitterness.

We want to taste it, let the hatred NUMB our sorrow.

The wise hands opens slowly to lilies of the valley and tomorrow.

If hope is born of suffering.

If this is only the beginning.

Can we not wait for one hour watching for our Savior?

This is what it means to be held.

How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life

And you survive.

This is what it is to be loved.

And to know that the promise was

When everything fell we'd be held. "
We all miss you Dad, hope you're having a great time and we'll be seeing you soon.
