Costume
Last year Weston dressed up as a Pirate for Halloween. It was too cold out that night to go trick or treating, but we did take him to a couple of homes in my parent’s neighborhood. This year, Erin was planning on making him a monkey costume. I had planned to take him [...]
My Prayer
Here is a song, written by Dennis Jernigan. This is a prayer to God and is often the way that I have felt – this has been my prayer a lot lately <CLICK HERE to Listen>

Playground

We have this little playground in our neighborhood where Weston loved to play. Last March, I went down there with them and snapped some photos of he and Erin on the slide. Erin took Weston to the park several [...]
A Dream
Another tough day today. There are times when it seems having Weston in our lives was like a dream, and there are times when losing him seems like a dream. I miss him so deeply that I cannot put it into words.
