Amid the Storms

Visiting Terik

Memorial Day went much better than I anticipated it would. Today also marks 3 months since Terik's passing. We went to his grave this morning as a family. We spent a little time there, talking and remembering his beautiful life. As we were getting ready to leave we noticed a family that was also leaving the Cemetery. They stopped and looked at Terik's headstone.  There were about eight of them standing in a semi-circle around the bench. It made me realize what a beautiful Marker he had. I was happy to think of the many people who would stop and notice it. They would get the opportunity to see his artwork, his picture, a piece of his life, and maybe even feel of his sweet spirit while standing there. It was also nice to see that people had come by and remembered Terik. They had brought plants, flowers, and letters. I feel so much love and gratitude for those who have remembered our sweet boy today; for those who came to honor him and his life!  He has so many good friends and family members who love him dearly.

After visiting with Terik we headed, to Syracuse, to see our babies graves. Trevor and Faith are buried in Syracuse Cemetery where I grew up. My grandmother and grandfather are also buried there. It was nice to go home to my roots, to feel close to many of my loved ones.

  

Visiting Trevor and Faith

This is a short post today, but I just wanted you all to know that we had a good Memorial Day. We felt close to Terik and our babies. We also felt thankfulness to God for giving us Eternal Families; for giving us all those whom we love so deeply. I also felt gratitude for being able to see the sunshine, at times, amid the storms.
