Reminisce

I (Renee) would like to remind you of Emily's birthday coming up. This date and the days around this day, are hard, good, healing, and emotional for us. Please be gracious with us as we continue to process our grief, to allow Jesus to heal us, and to share our daughter with you. We invite you to join in celebrating Emily, remembering her life, and giving thanks to our God that Emily is in the best place anyone could ever desire.


Starting on her birthday, June 2, I will be posting everyday for nine days in honor of Emily's life on earth. I will include pictures, some memories, perhaps a poem. 


You are welcome to join in with us during this time by lighting a candle, reading this blog, praying for us, and/or visiting her grave site. If you need directions to the exact location please leave a comment or email us.

When you remember with us, you bless our hearts more richly than you know. 

Thank you.

Eight years. Today.

and he still loves me...

And oh how I love him...

Mommy Day

I sure do love my kids. :)

All five of them.

A Disclaimer

People tell me (Renee) that I am strong. 

That my faith in God is strong. 

Please

don't think that I am strong. 

I am not strong. 

I am weak.

I yell at my kids.

I screw up.

I cry.

I'm still grieving and missing Emily. 

If you see strength inside me

 then please know this:

It is God who is strong.

And He lives inside of me.
