Well, it was one year ago today that I lost a part of my life and posted
One year ago today I lost one of the most important things I've ever had in my life... As horrible as that was, I also found out that there are still a LOT of awesome people in the world and a TON of them are on this site.
Tonight we held a memorial get together and a celebration of my lil buddy's short, sweet life. I done ok while we were all together and remembering the good times, but as I type this I can't hardly see the screen for the tears. I wasn't even going to sign back on before bed but I really wanted to thank you all again and share something.
One of the things we done as part of the celebration was to bring all the best pics we could find of her, both alone as well as with her brother, sister, Mother and Father. The idea was to let them (her immediate family) each make their own photo collage using all the photos we brought. Each one got to pick out the photos that meant the most to them and put them together however they saw fit. As much as I know it hurt them, I know it really meant something to them as well. Lots of laughing and crying going on.
Well, as they were digging through the pics they ran across the two I'm about to share and wanted me to have them. They weren't "BT Quality" pics and the scans are crappy, too since I couldn't see the screen very well through tears, but I can't express with words how much these two photos mean to me. I jsut wanted to share them with the folks that meant so much to me during the worst time of my life.
Ok, I'm about to lose my composure and prolly won't be able to type at all, so on with the pics...
This is me holding both of the twins. Jake in his little popo suit on my left and my lil buddy on my right drinkin'... prolly red koolaid.
