A Year in Heaven

Already it's been a year.

A year since Yachal went to Jesus.

It wasn't a hard day. Just when I talked to God about how I wish I could love the baby.

And then I almost cried...

It's good. It really is.

God gave me Erik to help the hurt. Erik didn't replace Yachal, but sure brought a new joy and busyness to our home. :)

I had a few people ask about how the day was (thank-you so much for caring :) and even was blessed with this gorgeous bouquet of roses from dear friends, Shane & Shelly. Their little girl was born the day after Yachal died. So we have an extra bittersweet (mostly sweet!) connection. It meant a lot that they went out of their way to encourage us.

Perfect flowers in memory of Yachal.
When people ask how many children I have -yes it's two, but I still think three. There is a little one missing, but we'll be all reunited...
...and it could be soon.
Still loving you, Yachal.
