Memories

Memories

they come and go,

sometimes expected, sometimes not

This week in August

is always full of memories,

some that just envelope me in warmth

and others where the tears run freely

We celebrate the birthday of Jamie.

Jamie at 5 Weeks.

Jamie at 1 Year

Jamie, SR Year of High School

Lots of memories, most of them happy,

some scary ~ like when he had his first seizure at 15 months,

some frustrating ~ like when he skipped school and got into a car accident,

some delightful ~ being a part of his wedding and the birth of his daughter,

memories!!

Hard to believe that our little 3 lb 12 oz, 19 3/4" baby boy,

long and skinny

is now 41 years old, married, has a daughter,

owns his own home,

and brings lots of joy to his family.

Memories of a sad/difficult time

Our precious baby boy,

Royce Alan

was only with us for three short days.

Hard to believe it has been 41 years since

we have seen his dark hair, chubby cheeks,

he weighed in at 4lbs 8oz, 18"

his own little being

or even been able to give a hug or a kiss.

We miss him every day.

And we cherish those three days of memories.

This morning

I opened my scripture for the day

and this popped up.

We have traveled some dark and difficult days

but through it all

Jesus has guided our steps,

walked with us,

carried us

and planted us where we need to be 

for every given moment.

And for that we are very thankful.

We love you Royce!!!

And we are so thankful for our family
