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
