Happy 17th birthday to my Forever 9 year old. Still trying to figure out how to live life without him. One horrific morning that changed our lives forever. Every birthday is the marking of another year without Carter. Grief doesn’t go away. It becomes a part of you. It’s a constant balance of grief in one hand and a happy life in the other.
We rise up with God. We allow Him to carry us through and believe in something greater than our own understanding. We will hold fast to faith because we know that He is good in all things....in joy and sorrow.
Remember to speak his name to us. We want to hear it. We want to remember with you.
“The hardest thing I ever had to hear was that my child died. The hardest thing I’ll ever have to do is to live everyday since that moment”
For we live by faith, not by sight. 2 Corinthians 5:7

I recalled his birthday yesterday. Carter would be driving now. Our Kaity will start when she gets her permit soon. I wonder if they would have remained just friends or maybe more. She has a boyfriend now and hes blond. I wish Carter was here for her and for you,his dad and Bradley. I cannot imagine hurting this long. I hope someday you find it has eased.
