Those Eyes!

Missing them and YOU a whole lot tonight...

CALEB'S DAY

Today I attended your sweet friend Caleb's funeral.  It was tender, hard, and so, so beautiful.  It brought back a lot of memories from almost two years ago...ones that felt so raw all over again.  But I am so grateful to have known this little boy, to have felt his strong spirit and to have had a small part in his HUGE life.  

I love you Caleb Joseph Moody.

A Gift From My Dad

IN MY DREAMS

When I woke I was crying and I lay awake trying  

To remember if I’d seen him again  

My dreams are so fleeting but the way my heart is beating     

I am sure that in my arms I held Ben  

I did see him.  I did hold him. 

In my dreams I can kiss him, when awake how I miss him  

And I hunger so I can feel that touch  

Just saying his sweet name ignites in my heart such a flame   

It consumes me that I love him so much  

I did see him.  I did hold him. 

Dreams, like a meeting place, are memories that I embrace

From moments that were once reality

I linger there with a desire that time will not expire

Because waking makes parting misery.   

I did see him.  I did hold him.

He is waiting in my dreams

CALEB MOODY

Best friends on earth...and now in Heaven. 

Please take good care of Caleb, Ben.

STAY TUNED...

Ever since your departure from this earth, I have been trying really hard to "Let the Spirit Guide" in my life.  It was my new years resolution for 2011.  So many blessings have come because of this choice that I have made.  Brady is a perfect example of that choice.  He has blessed our family in ways that I never would have imagined.  And now again our lives are about to change...and only because I have chosen to follow the promptings of the Spirit.  We are excited and ready.  I know that this is right for our family Ben, and I know that you are close by...cheering us on.

THE BOYS

We aren't the ONLY ones...

thinking about you during this difficult season of missing you.

Thank you dear Lisa King.

It made my heart smile.

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR...

Today is December 1st.  I've thought about you lots today.  I'm having a harder time again, now that Christmas is nearing.  Sunday is our annual Make-A-Wish party and it's so painful not having you with us.  I love you Benny!  I miss your cute, skinny legs in these striped pajamas, and your LONG eyelashes.

NOVEMBER 29, 2011

(this picture was taken May 29, 2010)

Today marks 18 months since you left this earth.

My heart still aches for you Ben.

BRADY...MEET BEN.

Okay, so I know they've already met (in heaven) ...but he's never been to his grave.  So on our trip home from Utah we stopped briefly.  I didn't stay long because it was cold and I was tired.  I just wanted Brady to meet Ben...again.
