Father's Day is around the corner

I love this quote from Elizabeth Edwards.

If you have lost a child, you know what she is talking about.  If you haven't and know someone who has, I encourage you remember them on Father's Day.  For us, Mother's Day and Father's day are tough ones, you throw Memorial Day in between and it really sucks.  :)  Sometimes Dads are forgotten about in the grieving process, people expect them to move on quicker. 
 
“If you know someone who has lost a child or lost anybody who’s important to them, and you’re afraid to mention them because you think you might make them sad by reminding them that they died, they didn’t forget they died. You’re not reminding them. What you’re reminding them of is that you remember that they lived, and that’s a great, great gift. – Elizabeth Edwards

Yesterday would have been Jackson's 20 month birthday. We still miss him like crazy! My friend Tara sent us the book "Heaven is for Real" for Memorial Day.  It's a great story and has a great message.  We look forward to the day we hold sweet little Jackson in Heaven!
