How softly you tiptoed into my world, so silently, only a moment you stayed, but what an imprint your footsteps have left upon my heart.
Three Years
Yesterday was the third anniversary of my son's death.

As I was changing classes I passed a park where some guy was playing Amazing Grace on the bagpipes. It made me well up. I thought it was very appropriate.

I wonder sometimes what life would be like if Garrett had not passed away. C would not be here. We probably would be living in a different state and I would have finished school by now. Then I think about the kind of life Garrett would have had. He had severe brain damage and Cerebral Palsey. I believe that if the Lord wanted he could have healed him, but for some reason he didn't. I'm not sure I will ever know what that reason was.

C now fills my life with joy. As much as I miss Garrett I would not want to have my life without C. Life is funny that way sometimes.
