Several of you have asked how we handled the second anniversary of Trav's death. It's taken me all week to be able to put it into words. We began the day with several text messages, e-mails and calls from our friends and loved ones offering their prayers and love to us. We are blessed to have so many of you who continue to keep us in your prayers and thoughts. Randy and I started the day together by lighting the candle that we used on the first anniversary. Amid many tears we read several passages from the Bible which provided us with comfort and assurance that God is faithful and has a purpose, plan and home prepared for each of His children. After our readings, prayer and tears together we blew out the candle and decided we must move on with the day.
We went to Burns Park to watch Laura play tennis. She won the state championship in her division along with her teammates. Her focus, determination and endurance that day were a real inspiration to both of us. God not only blessed us with an amazingly gifted and loving son, but also an equally talented and devoted daughter.
We received a beautiful bouquet of flowers from Beth, Manuel, Tasha and Josiah. God is so good. The picture of the flowers is at the top of this post. We love you all.
