It is so hard to believe that a year ago today I received a phone call that changed my life. I woke up on March 2nd with going to my 16 week OB appointment on my mind. Who would have ever thought that my best friend's 5 year old would pass on to heaven within a few short hours.
Angie's call changed my life. I realize that I had taken my life and my children's for granted. I know that Mike's is precious. I guess him going off to war a couple of times has done that for me. But, my kids. I never realized it. But, Bryan's passing put life in perspective.
Bryan was a large part of my families life for 2+ years. The Curlee family had a huge difference in ours. Bryan and Hunter played with Drew and Grace. They got along so well. It was fun to watch them, even when they had to be disciplined. Bryan could have been on of my own (Hunter, too). Even at Bryan's weakest moments, he would smile for me. I spent many of hours helping Angie out so Bryan could get the care he needed. I will never regret a moment spent with the little guy. I only wish we could have spent the last 10 months of his life with them. They had moved to TX. So, when Angie called, there was NOTHING I could do but pray. I did end up at the funeral. Thanks to my parents, I was able to spend about 4 days with the family. I washed dishes, babysat kids, and just listened. We cried and laughed. There has been many days since then that I wish I could have been there to help them out. But, Angie, Keith and Hunter have been an inpiration this past year (even though they won't say so). I pray that the next year will be a year of blessings for them!!
Bryan is truly missed. But, he is in heaven and we will get to see him again!! I know he is chasing puppies and dancing around!!!!
