It starts with Dylan on July 28th, then Tyson on August 13th, then Trevor on the 29th and Colter on September 5th. Very busy, very happy and a little bittersweet. In our family birthdays are a time to celebrate love, life and blessings, and also a time to remember and heal. Four years ago yesterday Tyson's short visit on earth forever changed our lives. I still wish we had him here and maybe some more pictures, time, memories and all that goes along with living life. "Guilt is the emotion felt when trying to place today's knowledge and solutions on yesterday's problems." This is a quote that I read during those first few months of grief and it has stuck with me through all the times that I have tried to beat myself up over the "what ifs" and "we should have's". I love it becausse it reminds me that we did the best we could given our abilities at the time and we can't change events from the past no matter how "smart" we are now! Each year that passes gives us more knowledge, awareness and life experience to help integrate all that we have felt and learned into our beings and heal our spirits and hearts. Our life is truly blessed and we are thankful for everything that God has planned for us. We also love that Tyson's short life on earth coincided with the peak of the Persiad Meteor Showers. It is one of the brightest shows each year in our region of the world and is a great way to spend time during the bought of insomnia that visits this time of year. In many ways I'm glad that we are constantly reminded of Tyson and think of him often, I would have even more sadness if he was forgotten or his memory lost. We love our community of family and friends, your support and love is truly a gift. We spent this past week doing alot of the things we love, including hiking, camping and playing outside. The weather was beautiful, the rainbows were the brightest we've seen all year and the love was felt by all.
Peace and Love to all,
