Showered with love

Day 2 of you being gone and it hasn't gotten any easier! Last night was rough...I cried, screamed, punched my pillow (sorry daddy, but I was angry), and poured out my heart to my Savior. And just like He always does, he met me where I was and gave me more grace to get through that moment of despair. It helps me to imagine you up there playing with your grandson Geoffrey and being the first to get to know Him. I am sure you are telling him all about us and how much we love and miss him! Now we have another reason to look forward to Heaven! I know there are no tears in Heaven, but I had the funny thought of you bouncing him at the banquet table like you used to do with Colin, Cecily, and Owen when they would fuss at restaurants. Speaking of dinner, you will be happy to know that we have been showered with care and love! Carol and Candee have come everyday to get lunch and dinner put together and then clean it all up! I think Candee is trying to suck up to you so that you put in a good word with Jesus. ;-) hehehe They are keeping us well fed and taken care of! We were teasing Candee that we could hear you up there saying, "Hey Candee, you know those people that you do your bible studies about...yea I met em! Peter, James, John, they are pretty cool guys!" :-) Facebook was just covered in people posting pictures and remembering how amazing you were here on earth! I am humbled and proud at how many lives you touched and how many people love you! You left a lasting mark on hundreds if not a thousand people's lives!

Well the unthinkable happened...mom bought a dog! Weston needed something to help him cope and she decided that a dog would do the trick! He was looking online and couldn't find a place in AZ that sold the breed he wanted. I made the mistake of suggesting Puppies N Love and he enthusiastically asked if I would take him. How could I say no? I didn't anticipate him finding one, but sure enough, at the front of the store was a little black Poochon with little round black eyes and he immediately said, "I am going to name her Curly!" At first mommy wasn't so sure she wanted to get one that night, but I think Weston's big brown eyes were irresistible so we went down there and brought her home. We shamelessly pulled the "His dad passed away today" card and they gave us $300 off! I think our puffy red eyes and dingy clothes helped convince them too! You would love Curly! She is a little black ball of fluff and just sweet as ever! You aren't going to like this, but we are going to put no climb up on the fence so she can't get out. I know you always said you refused to do that because you didn't want it to look ghetto, but we'll try to make it look as classy as possible! We are all taking bets that Curly will potty train before Colin...so far she is winning...good thing everyone bet on her and not Colin! Tomorrow is your viewing...I don't know how I am going to get through it but I know when the time comes, so will the grace. I asked Jesus to give you a hug for me, I am sure he did! Love you more than words can express!
Your favorite second born,
Carley
