Remembering...{June 6}

Today is Wes' mother's birthday. She would have been 62. This time last year we were celebrating with her in the hospital. Despite the circumstance she was in, she had a smile on her face, was joking around, and as pleasant as always.

Today was a gloomy day: weather-wise. We wanted to do something to make it special and celebrate her life. We took Olivia to the grave site of her grandma and grandpa Pitcher (followed by dinner out). I know they are both in a better place, and that they are together. But, I couldn't help but feel emotional when I look at Olivia and know that she will not know them as she grows up. I know they know her and are involved in her life, looking out for her, loving her from beyond the veil. I just hope we can really teach them who they are and help her to know them.

I thought about her a lot on her birthday as well. I can't believe it has been a year. What changes have happened in that time. For sure both of Olivia's grandparents are interested in her life. They both loved children more than anything. I miss them both so much.
