5th birthday!

Well, it has come and gone... We visited the grave has a family, gave him a balloon, and sang to him. It is just so sad to me that we have to do this at a cemetary, not at our house. He should be here with us!

Our kids decided to TAKE 5 for Taylor and make cookies and brownies for people in our ward who have recently suffered a loss. It was a neat experience to watch my kids make everything and take them to their doors. It made me feel good inside and I know Taylor was happy with their choice to serve.

We ended what seemed to be a LONG day (suffering from a nasty head cold) with going through Taylor's box. His baby blankets, his hat, his shoes that Santa was going to bring him that year, all the sympathy cards... I found one that my grandma wrote and I broke down. I miss them so much...

My best friend and her family (Atherley's) donated 20 pounds of food to the Food Bank in his honor yesterday.. I appreciate the love and support from them and everyone that took part in service yesterday! I truly have amazing friends and family!

I miss you and love you Tay more than anything! I know that you are watching over our family and we WILL see you again.. It was an honor to serve in your name and I know that you were proud to watch it happen. You are the missing link in our family and I can't wait for the day to fill in that missing piece. Love you forever and always! Love, mommy

5 years.. 5 LONG years

I can't believe that I am to this point. 5 Years without Taylor. The weird thing is that it feels like 3 weeks ago and I am still in recovery. I can't believe that I have lasted and endured without him for so long. WOW!

I have decided since this is his fifth birthday, that we should do something special. So, tomorrow on December 2, 2011, I challenge you to "Take 5" and give an act of service in his name. It could be something simple, or big, you could act alone or as a family.. Click and save this and feature it during your act of service..

“Take 5”

Middle Angel

Stockton finally made it over to visit Taylor. It was a sweet moment. I have had 5 beautiful perfect children. Taylor is my middle angel child and Stockton is my caboose. I never ever thought that I would have 5 kids, but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Stockton loves to stare at the picture with Jesus holding an infant in his arms. He remembers Jesus. And he remembers my sweet Tay.

EARTH ANGEL

Taylor has a new baby brother.

I know that Taylor is watching over our family and now his new baby brother. We are so lucky that he made it here safely, despite having the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck twice. In the operating room, they were playing the Eric Clapton song, "Tears in Heaven" and Stockton cried and cried. I know it is because he misses his big brother. We are truly blessed for this earth angel and are waiting for the day when our family will truly be complete. Love and miss you lots, Tay!
