remembering....

5 years ago today i was just about 16 weeks pregnant with my 1st child, jacob. you might wonder how it is that i can possibly remember that i was 16 weeks pregnant at this time. it happens to be the 5 year anniversary of my dad's passing (tomorrow). not that i don't think about him each and ever day, but last night when i was holding jordyn in her room i saw him. all my babies looked alike when they were babies. but jack and jordyn, so far, take an extra liking to the hamilton side of the family. and last night, holding jordyn asleep in my arms getting ready to put her in bed, i saw him. she was the spitting image of him. maybe it was the lighting, maybe it's because she's pretty bald, too (lol)...but WOW!! it's just a reminder that those that have left us, are ALWAYS around us. this happened one night when i was putting jack to bed when he was a little(r) one, too. He is reminding us every day to remember those that have gone on, and that one day, we will all be together again.

thank you dad, for watching over us and giving us guidance. we miss you, more than you'll ever know!!!!

I totally know what you mean...I see my mom in Gabe all of the time. And every once in a while I see my dad in Ryan. It's nice to be able to "see" them once in a while, even though they are gone.
