Life

It has now been over 24 hours since Eli's funeral services and Logan and I are amazed more than ever at the amount of love and support we have received the past week, specifically the last 2 days.  We have experienced a parent's worst nightmare but because of the prayers and support of so many others we are doing far better than we ever could have imagined.  To the hospital staff that came to Eli's services: It was such an honor to share the last two days with all of you.  Logan and I cherish and appreciate what you did for Eli and for us more than you will ever know.  I wish it was possible for me to individually thank every single person that has helped us through this journey but I know that's not realistic so I will continue to pray every night that each of you will be blessed for all you have done for our little family and know how grateful we are for it.  I know, without a doubt, Eli can feel of your love as well and nothing brings me greater joy than that.

Eli's funeral services were perfect and everything we hoped they would be.  We had a ton of support, the weather was perfect, the music was wonderful, Logan and I cherished the opportunity to speak about our little buddy and his final resting spot is at the most beautiful spot in the cemetery.  I wouldn't have wanted any of it any other way.

As we move on to life without Eli physically with us, it's odd to think of our lives back to how they were with both of us working and Logan going to school.  Even though it has only been about 6 months, those things feel like a lifetime ago.  Part of me wants to wait awhile before we throw ourselves back into it all so we can have a chance to spend some time together and another part of me wants to dive right into it thinking that will be the best way to heal.  Even though I have an education degree, teaching doesn't feel right right now so it will be interesting to see where life takes me next.

Although there are multiple unknowns in our near future, I couldn't be more excited about the one thing I do know for sure...Logan and I will be here next month:

Montego Bay, Jamaica!

Our two year anniversary is at the end of this month so we gave in to each other and booked a trip we hope will give us a good chance to clear our minds and just be with one another.  It definitely can't come soon enough!
