One Year Closer
Thank you for this beautiful, loving tribute to our Andy. We miss him every day, every hour of our lives. He celebrated his one-year birthday in Heaven yesterday. One long year without our boy - one year closer to seeing him again.
Feb 9 is strangely bittersweet for me. For the past nine years I have had a maternal ritual of remembering the events and emotions that lead up to the birth of my first child, the child who made me a mother. I might catch myself staring off remembering the incredible impact of it all. Sometimes when I get really caught up I'll cry. This year was different. Every time I would start to head down maternity lane Andy would be there. Mental snapshots of him singing at Rob's wedding, a little boy in brown cords, pink cheeks and the funeral, so sad, full of love and faith. For me,this one day binds so much joy,relief and love with intense loss, sadness and love...love. February 9, 2005 the Lord showed me another facet of his amazing love and grace.
