Sometimes I think my life came to an end, and also began again on this date in 2002. My heart shattered. My relationships with my family deepened. I learned who my real friends were. I regretted a lot, and gave thanks for so much. Life inevitably went on, but I was never the same. Isaiah, speaking as Christ, says, "Behold I have refined thee, but not with silver, I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction" (Isaiah, 48:10). I believe I am better for it, but the cost was very great. This year I get to miss three brothers instead of two. Sean is mightily serving his mission in Montana (well, Riverton, WY at the moment). So, I thought I would post a picture of my boys. And say, "I miss you, Nate." I wish you were here. I really could use a hug--your hug.

T- I love you and have been thinking of you a lot today. Hard to believe it's been 8 years since I opened our door to that unwelcome, nightmarish news. You've come a long way, babe. Wish I could be there to hug and hold you. Know that I'm always with you in spirit, and so are your bros. They always have been . .
Thinking of you, Taunja...
Love Jen
Thinking of you! Love, Lee
