Summer has kind of creeped up on me out of nowhere. I'm finding it to be a really difficult time of year. We are surrounded by signs of new life, warmth and sunshine. It's a time of year I have always loved. But this year, it brings with it so many reminders...the canola fields in full bloom...a stab to my heart as I remember those fields, surrounding us in their beauty on the day we buried our son.
I am not exactly sure what to do with this all. The memories are both comforting and haunting, triggered by the smallest of things, at the strangest of moments. As much as I want to remember my boy all the time, to have him close to me always, I find that I must push these memories aside in order to get through the day. It becomes a constant battle in my mind. In time, I hope to be able to make some sort of peace with the memories.

So hard to believe it's really been nearly a year without Noah. We continue to hold you up in prayer as you work through the memories, especially those that will come with the next month. Praying for you all.
I know that you won't believe me now, when I say this, but each year will get a little easier, not a lot but just enough that you can cope and think of the good things, his smile, his laugh, the way he hugged you and loved you, your good memories will creep up on you and make you laugh or smile, your grief will lessen it won't go completely away, but it will get easier. I continue to pray for you all.

I've been thinking of you today, remembering that it is the 29th, and 11 months already! We too keep praying for you.

11 months...Praying for peace in your heart and mind.
Almost a year...I think about you a lot these days and wonder how I can walk with you as a friend during this time, especially in the month to come. Know that we care for you deeply and think of you often.
Still thinking about you.
I won't be here at the 1 year mark, but I will be with you in my prayers, when we are out of the country.
