So we had a nice quiet Valentines. We actually went out Friday and Saturday - thanks to the YW fundraiser!! We hit Outback Friday night and Saturday we actually hung out with our friend Travis and the missionaries!! Travis made awesome Fajitas.
David got me this picture - I had wanted it since September - when I first saw it I thought of Zachary and wanted it as our reminder of him.
It came with a poem that the artist uses to describe the artwork -
TAKE MY HAND
Take my hand and follow me.
There are things ahead for you to see.
Little wonders are all around,
And tender mercies to be found.
We'll take our time, no need to run,
Breathe deep the air and feel the sun.
The grass is soft beneath our feet,
Sounds are soothing, the air is sweet.
Sometimes we'll stop and just be still,
Our hearts will tell us God is real!
Small graces along our path appear,
They let us know that Heaven's near.
So take my hand anew each day.
The walk is lovely and I know the way.
The picture and the poem just brings me peace.

Jackie I am so glad you got that picture. I want to come and see it. What a sweet visual reminder of the little boy you lost. I think about you guys all the time. I am so grateful for your strength and friendship.
It is beautiful. What a nice reminder of the good things about the whole situation. Miles looks so big. I just remember him bringing his 3 year old cake out of the fridge downstairs at mid-naight on new year's eve. Doesn't seem that long ago.
The picture and poem are outstanding. Thank you for sharing!
What a beautiful picture!
