Seasons

I wouldn’t have thought a change of seasons would have been such a gut punch, but here we are. Caroline and I went to Bath and Body Works to buy some candles the other day because.. the best candles! We all love the scent “Leaves” for fall.

Until I realized it had been a whole season we’d lived without Huddy. That’s such a gut punch. Things no one can prepare you for! He loved EVERY season, but especially fall when we spent time at home watching football with family and friends.

If anyone knows me well, they know I’m the ultimate planner. We have this little family board right by our garage door and I haven’t touched it until this week. Couldn’t bear to move his progress report, school calendar, our fun summer calendar and monthly bible verse. We all love fall, but definitely not as much this year without him.

For everyone who continues to pray for us daily, THANK YOU. We cannot thank you enough and ask you to continue to pray. The punches just keep on coming this week. Insurance changes, hospital bills, insurance claims. The random calls for all the ends that need to be tied up. The tidying up that NO ONE prepares you for when your child passes away. And just the emotional toll this takes on so many. I’m so grateful for the continued prayers. I could have never imagined how hard this road would be.

And to our friends kids that treat Caroline like a sibling, we can’t thank you enough. I can start seeing the toll it’s taking on her, which is so hard. Hudson adored her and I’m starting to realize how much she misses her buddy.
