| 20th Birthday |
Nathaniel, today is July 4, 2010 and you would have been 20 years old today. It is sad to me that you never even reached your 18th birthday--and you were looking so forward to it. We knew because of your diabetes that you might not live a really long time and we might possibly have to bury you some day, but we never expected your time to be so short. You have been a lesson to us--to enjoy today--and to live our lives for God, because, in the end, He is all that matters. We miss you and love you with all our hearts. Happy 20th Birthday and Happy 4th of July in heaven!| Father's Day-2010 |
Nathaniel, You were born in our "older years"--ten years after our third child. You were my little shadow when you were young, then as you grew older, we still went a lot of places together. I really miss that now, especially at Wal-mart, where your big strong hands could really handle the groceries! You were handy around the farm too. You really gave your dad an opportunity to show what a great dad he is too; over the years, he did so much with you, reading to you, fishing with you, and watching over you. You introduced us to lots of critters and we have had a lot of enjoyment (and work) from that. We still have critters! We fretted a lot over you and it was tough seeing you flying free from us at the last. It is even more difficult now. Still, I am so glad we had you, and I would do it all over again. Although we would love to have you here this lonely Father's Day, it gives me great comfort to think of you with our Heavenly Father. I'm sure He takes great care of you and He will help us too. We miss you son! | 2 Year Angelversary |
Nathaniel, It was 2 years ago today, on June 11, 2008, that we laid you to your final resting place on this earth. This week has been hard, and I thought I was doing so much better! The last 2 years have gone fast for us, and it seems only yesterday that we had you. I am so sorry you are gone. We miss you so much. Your dad says he wishes we were free too, like you. I try to remember this life is just a vapor, just a little while, and we will see you again. I am so homesick for that day. We love you son!
