So, this past Wednesday was the year anniversary of William leaving us for a better place. I still can't put into words the emptiness we feel every day, some days worse than others. I can't believe how quickly a year goes by any more. I don't know if that's good, or bad? This past year has been a roller coaster. Mostly sad moments, and mising our little peanut. However, there are still bright spots when I see pictures or think about all the wonderful memories we have to hold onto. I thought this immediately after William died, and I'm even more convinced today ... that I would not change a single thing of our time we had with William, even if I knew it was limited. No regrets, and that makes me feel great!
Wednesday was very much similar to how our year has been, all rolled up to one day. Definately some sad moments, but the outpouring of support from our friends and familiy helped us make it through the day. William was on our minds from the moment Misty and I woke up. We talked about him, and remembered ... We got some things done around the house, ran some errands and had lunch together. After lunch we grabbed Bailey and visited William's gravesite ~ yet another sad moment. Throughout the day we heard from so many that held us up in prayer and in their thoughts; through Facebook, texts, emails, calls. It was truley remarkable everyones outpouring of support! The evening was spent with friends & family gathering at our new house for dinner and conversation. We displayed several images of William, and included a slideshow of his pictures on our TV display. It may have been a little overboard, but I don't care ... this was William's Day! All in all, it was a nice day of remembering William, and nice to spend it together (not working ... too much) and with friends and family.
A couple other updates ... we sent a note to many friends and family 'launching' William's Wings Foundation and letting them know about our fundraising golf even in June. There will be a website & facebook page published soon. Stay tuned for more information on that! We are excited about honoring William while raising money to help others in our unfortunate situation.
We are excited about introducing a new member of our family in the coming weeks! We know William will be an awesome big brother, taking care of all of us from above.
Thank you all for continued prayer through our healing. We continue to miss William dearly, not a moment goes by he is not on our minds. Until we meet him again in Heaven ...
