My Gift

My Mother's Day gift
Hazel's headstone was finally put on! With a little pleading from my good husband the cemetery pushed Hazel to the top of the list so that she would look beautiful for our special day. Travis designed Hazel's headstone to be one of a kind, just the way she is. I absolutely love it and cannot think of anything more perfect for my little missionary.
And not to leave out our other daughter Gidget...
She gave me a snuggle and breakfast in bed for Mother's Day.
She's pretty amazing for never having attended obedience school.

Mrs. Reed, I've been siting in my dorm just sobbing for the past hour. I was thinking about you all day today, wondering how you were doing, and then I read your posts.. What I really want to tell you is that I think you are the most amazing person I have ever (ever ever ever ever) met. It moves me to tears when I see how you are so strong and how through all of this you can still see the beauty and be thankful for everything you have... You know all of us swim girls always say we want to grow up to be just like you. I know more than ever that I want to learn how to be strong like you and look at life in such a beautiful way, in both tribulation and trial. You remind me that everyday is precious. You are my hero Mrs. Reed.

Love, Amy.

Hey Friend
I just wanted to let you know how much I love you. I have to just say how much life can suck in some ways. We are blessed in so many other ways but I just can't seem to think I still got screwed some how. I don't know about you but some times I feel like I've been robbed. I know I will get this time back with Nathan someday but it still doesn't take all the pain away. It's been a sensitive couple of weeks since his birthday just passed and to think he would've been five this year. Through all this I can't help but think of you and Travis and pray that you may feel comfort and love seeing that your wounds are still raw. I hope I wasn't out of line with anything I admire your strength and courage to share so much on your blog. Your a great writer. I love you so much.
