One Year Later by Tiffany

As we are coming up on one year since Josh's passing, we reflect on how this year has been without him. When I think of losing Josh, my heart aches and I am not sure that will ever go away. Dawn wanted to come up with a way to commemorate the one year anniversary of Josh's death, and decided to have our version of a candle light vigil, but long distance version. On November 17th at 6PM CST we will all light a candle and talk about our favorite memory of Josh. Please join us in remembering this wonderful life.

Bring you home again by Author Unknown

If tears could build a stairway,
And memories were a lane,
We would walk right up to heaven
And bring you back again.

No farewell words were spoken.
No time to say goodbye,
You were gone before we knew it,
And only God knows why.

Our hearts still ache in sadness,
And secret tears still flow.
What it meant to lose you
No one can ever know.

But now we know you want us
To mourn for you no more.
To remember all the happy times,
Life still has much in store.

Since you'll never be forgotten,
We pledge to you today
A hallowed place within our hearts
Is where you'll always be.

STILL SO HARD by MOM

Josh you are missed so much in my life. I look at the pictures of you everyday and wonder why you were taken away. I will never understand it. Know that with every fiber of my being I love you and miss you. I hope you visit me some day in my dreams. I miss you so... Love MOM

Precious Loan by Tiff

God blesses us each with so many things
And sometimes that blessing is a child.
He chooses a special angel, picked just for you
And loans them to you for awhile.
From the time they arrive
They hold your heart in their hands
And add countless precious moments to your life
And each night we bow down and ask the good Lord above
To protect them and keep them from strife.
For this oh so precious gift,
God doesn’t ask a large fee.
“Just love and care for them,
and teach them of Me”.
So we do what we can,
We work hard and we pray
And watch them blossom and grow
With each passing day.
Not one of us knows how long they’ll be here
Or when God will call for his loan,
And take that special angel, picked just for you
Back to his glorious home.
But he made us a promise and I have no doubt,
He will carry you through this great sorrow.
Because when it’s your time, he’ll be first to greet you
And you’ll be blessed with an eternity of tomorrows.
