One Year

Tomorrow is the one year anniversary of Casey's passing. He died on the first Monday in June 2011. Yesterday was hard.

I still remember nearly every minute of that day. In fact, when I think back on some of the most traumatic days of my life, I remember so much, so vividly. Sometimes remembering is really difficult, because then you have to face the reality of what has happened. Sometimes remembering is really wonderful, because then I am also reminded of the MANY tender mercies the Lord has blessed me with. I am blessed again with peace and comfort.

Oh how grateful I am that my parents were sealed in a Temple of the Lord. Oh how grateful I am for the knowledge that Casey still lives, that he and we will be resurrected. Oh how grateful I am that our life does not end here. My testimony of a Loving God is strengthened every day. My testimony of eternal families and eternal life is strengthened every day.

I miss him, every day. I think about him every day.

I Love You Casey.

WE love you guys Sam. Sending my love and prayers to get you through this day. Could you please email me your number? I want to chat, and we are going to the reunion, and Chris is really hoping that John David is going as well.
