Memories

I must be the worst blogger every, I sometimes think about writing something...but then the feeling passes.

I was reading another blog by a woman named Heather who is a strong Christian with an amazing walk...and brain cancer. When I read what she has written I just feel God's strength in her...just like He lifts me every day.

My life continues on, Ron is in our thoughts daily as Michaela and I talk about him all of the time. I'm always amazed at the things that a 4 year old can remember. This morning she said she wanted eggs like she got at her old hotel...our old hotel is in Prince George where we would stay when Ron travelled there on business (our new hotel is where we stayed when Ron was having his treatments in Kelowna). She recalled going down the big water slide with daddy in our old hotel, we haven't stayed there in over a year. I feel such a big responsibility to keep Ron very vivid in her memory.

I was watching an interview with Terri Irwin (Steve Irwin's widow). She was talking about keeping her husband alive in her kids memories, watching video of him daily. His things are still around the house as they always were, people may find this odd and that she isn't moving on...I totally understand. With a small child I want to do all that I can to make sure Michaela remembers Ron and how much he loved her. I don't want her wonder what her daddy was like and how he was with her....I just want her to know these things.

Hi Annie,

Thank you for commenting on my blog so I could meet you here. I read through many posts on your other blog, and I am blown away. I can't imagine going through what you are living each moment right now, but it is very obvious that God is lifting you - the peace that fills this "place" is almost palpable. I'm so glad you are sharing your journey with us.

What a beautiful thing that you are keeping your husband's memory alive for your daughter. She is one very blessed little girl to have you for a mother.

With love and prayers for grace and strength,
Katherine
