Five! How can that be? Letty has been so excited about Isaac's birthday. I love her seven year old perspective, it makes me happy. My heart is always a bit sad this time of year remembering... I suppose it always will be. I think it would be worse if I wasn't sad because it would feel like I had forgotten. I always want Isaac to be alive in our home so our girls know he was here, even if for such a short time. Letty always says she has a brother and it gets a bit awkward when people clearly don't see him and ask where he is? Oh well, I'm glad she is not as hindered or worried about what others think.
I feel like this experience has changed me and I hope made me better. After his death was a time we all felt like the Lord was carrying us and helped me to know more deeply how much the savior cares for us. I'm grateful for that.
Although loss is such an individual thing I feel like I can relate to those individuals in a way that I don't think I could have otherwise, it's given me some purpose in my experience and I'm thankful. We love you Isaac! We'll miss you always.
