Remembering Garrett
It's been a rough week. All I can think about is what we were doing this time last year. That hard knot in the pit of my stomach is back. I miss my little buddy.Looking back at some pictures I wonder how we made it through such a traumatic experience.
Then I see the wonderful cards and notes and flowers and gifts from so many people and realize that it's because of our friends, neighbors and family and our knowledge that families are eternal.
If we didn't have that, life would be so much more difficult than it is.
So, instead of remembering a difficult experience, we are remembering a sweet boy we had a chance to get to know.
He was soooo excited to be a big brother!
He was silly and had an adventurous spirit,
loving, happy,
friendly, creative,
and just a little mischievous!
We love you G-man. Can't wait to see you again!

Fantastic pictures of such a great little guy. Wish we were there to give and get big hugs. We have been thinking of you all week. We love you.
I have been teary all day remembering this traumatic event a year ago. We miss him so much. Thanks for telling the funny stories and keeping his spirit alive. We love you guys.
We're thinking of and praying for your family at this time.
You've been in our thoughts and prayers this week!
Now that we've got Sophie we have a greater understanding of what you must have went through. I can't imagine it. You are in our prayers and we love you!
I checked your blog a bunch yesterday and must have given up on a post from you just before you blogged. I thought about Garrett more than usual all week. I just didn't know what to do or say. My heart still feels so broken. I still can't believe he's not here with us. I miss him so much. I'm so grateful I know we'll be with him again but I'm so impatient for that time to come! I love you all and am blessed by your friendship and your example of strength and obedience. (((hugs)))

I also thought about you much last week. It must've been rough, but true to your character, it looks like you made the most of a tough day. Love you!
Bekki, I've been thinking alot about you this month and am so grateful "the rain is gone". It made me emotional to hear your song choice but mostly grateful the clouds are lifting and that the future looks brighter than it did a year ago. You go girl!!!
Miss you all,
Angie
Aaaaa, I forgot to mention...! Evidently, Garrett's fashion sense made quite an impression on Jackson. He has for the longest time wanted the same hair-do. "You know Mom, short on the sides and long on the top- just like Garrett's!" cute little pre-school buddies!!...
