Our First Easter Without You 🕊️

Happy Easter in Heaven, my love… 💔🕊️
Our first without you.

Sweet Audrey Dawn is almost five months old, and CJ just found out he made percussion in band for next school year. Oh, how you should be here to enjoy all these special moments with me — as grandparents.

I find myself thinking about all the little celebrations we would be sharing… the smiles, the pride, the joy of watching our family grow.

I know you are exactly where you’re supposed to be. It was all part of God’s will — for your life, and for our life together.

In our hearts, you live on, even as we ache for just one more moment with you.

Today feels heavier without you here — your absence louder than ever.

You are deeply missed, forever loved, and always remembered.

I carry you in every prayer, every tear, and every quiet memory that refuses to fade.

And yet, even in the heartache, I hold on to what I know is true — love doesn’t end.

Until we meet again… I hold on to that love, even through this heartache. I’m learning to do hard things — one day at a time, and one day closer. 🫶🏻🤍
