5000 Days...

Last fall,  I was looking at your 1000 Day picture and wondered how long you had been alive.

So I plugged dates in the computer and found you would be 5000 days on February 20. 

5000 DAYS!!!

So cool!!

Let's have a party!!

In no way did I ever imagine December 23rd would interrupt those plans. Had I known, I probably wouldn't have looked up the date. But I did, and it's stuck now in my brain.

Such an abundance of blessings. How did we get so blessed to have you part of our lives? So much you taught: love, perseverance, forgiveness, fortitude, humor, and humility.  Putting together the video was a wonderful walk down memory lane. So very many pictures, and yet I wish I had more. 

Even now, your smile warms my heart. 

Love you so much. Miss you, too.

"You gave me a forever within the numbered days."
