Doesn't Feel Like Two Years....

Two years ago, April 25th, was when our Selah died...

I was just telling a friend that I can't believe it really has been two years...

We've been trying to focus more on celebrating her birthday, December 12th, but it's impossible to pass through this month without thinking about her and those last few weeks and days...our last night with her...and those final moments...

The Cherry blossoms make it impossible to forget.

On Sunday, I helped in the 2's classroom at church. About half way through, it hit me that Selah would've been in that class.

We still miss her.
She's still woven into our lives.
Our fifth kiddo--thinking about her raises both smiles and tears.

It's not a sadness void of hope, but a deep longing that makes Heaven feel even more close and more real.

So...just wanted to take a moment today to thank God for the gift that Selah was....
