Welcome to Addison's Blog

This blog is in honor of our daughter and the time we did get to spend with her. Although she isn't on earth with us she is still apart of everything we do. I just want to show people that we can get through this season in our life with Gods help and that nothing is to small for our God to fix!

Psalm 34:18

"The Lord is near to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit."

Peep


"In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

Our Peep...

A year ago tomorrow will mark one year. One year since he left this world and went to be with our Nan and His Jesus.  I find myself missing him more but finding it reassuring to in a way that he is were he looked forward to going for all those many years.  He was the best Peep anyone could have wanted and he was ours.  I feel blessed to have been able to grow up around him and to have been able to spend all those unforgettable times with him.

I find comfort in knowing he is in heaven with Nan and Addy.  I can picture him humming to her and playing with her just as he did with me. He got to see her smiling face before we did, but it helps me to know that she is in a safe place and with people who love her.  Although when he left she was still here with us it wasn't long before she went to that place to meet him and I am thankful he was there to greet her.  I can just picture him walking her around showing her all the wonderful things and teaching her about music,  the one thing they both loved. 

I can't but help think of the first thing Daniel said to me that day when we realized she was no longer here.  "She is with Peep and Nan in heaven." Just knowing that helps.  I am sure they were happy to see her and are having great fun waiting for all of us to get there too. 

I can't help but find myself searching for Peeps verse sometimes. Especially in the past year. I have had alot of times when I just don't understand it all. Don't get why things have happened and why we are where we are in life. I just don't get it but when I read those words I can feel him telling me to not worry but be thankful for what I do have.  I learned a lot from Peep but the way he lived his life for God that is one thing that I will never be able to forget.  He was such a strong believer and he wasn't afraid to tell you how it was concerning his God.  He taught me so much just by watching what he did.  He defiantly showed me somethings I would have never been exposed to if it wasn't for him and he enriched my life with such powerful lessons I will never forget.  

We got to spend some good times together from picking me up from preschool, most of the time he found me asleep in a tunnel in the playground, to taking trips together during summer break.  We went alot of places and saw alot of stuff together. But we were together and that was what made it fun.  He did and said some funny stuff and those are things I will remember forever.  

As this year has passed and all has happened I have found myself missing him more.  Although I am grateful he didn't have to suffer much. I am grateful that he was able to finally go home to the place he sang about and looked forward to going all those years.  It is still hard not to miss him.  So to my Peep... I will always miss you and love you.  You were one person I knew was praying for me everyday and one of the people that have made me what I am today.  I love you and miss you.  Watch over my Addy for me and one day we will get to be together again.  I am looking forward to that day.  


To see His star is good, but to see His face is better.
