April 7th

As always, April 7th hits with so many mixed emotions. I love celebrating our girl on her birthday but the day is also filled with sadness as we miss my daddy so much. I’ve said so many times that I am thankful they have this connection since they never got to meet. It is so special and Zoe knows all about her Grampie who loved her. She talks a lot about how it isn’t fair that she didn’t get to meet him and how she misses him. It definitely isn’t fair and we’d give anything to have him here with us. But, we know this is not the end of the story and we know we will have an eternity with him in Heaven. He’s just waiting for us to join him one day.

Zoe girl, I know you know this but your Grampie loved you so much. He knew we wanted another baby girl and he was so excited to have another granddaughter to spoil. God had other plans and called him home before he could spoil you. We wish you could have known him and that we all had more time with him here on earth. You are a bright spot in a hard day and we are so thankful God gave us life to celebrate on a day filled with loss and grief. We all miss you so much, daddy!!
