Seven.

But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

Today ceremonially ticks off passage of time. Seven years. Seven. Enough time that the life we had then looks and feels dramatically different than the life we have now. However, your spirit is a constant that flows within each part of y...our family. You are thought of daily, mentioned with love daily-your brothers and sister even claim a spot at the table for you. It physically remains empty but that love for you more than fills the space up.
This year i finally printed off the first year photo book and this week we each have gotten to look and read how your imprint remained on each of Jacob, Andrew and Emma’s first welcomed years into life. This year I needed that reminder. Life moves quickly but it our choice on how to live and preserve that passage of time. I chose to believe in a God that makes no accident in showing His kindness in the every day for me. I don’t know what 7 years of life with you in it would look like, but I know the life we have now is filled with hope. At the end of the day we cling to what matter most. Today, tears will be shed. But like i recently told a very special person, those tears just mean we have so many beautiful memories to remember.
