Day 306.

Happy Birthday to my first born. You would have turned 23 today but your days were numbered at 22 years and 59 days. This birthday doesn’t look how I want it to, none of this does. I miss your smile. I miss your big blue eyes. I miss your voice. I miss your big bear hugs. I miss your laughter. I miss seeing you with your brother and sister. I mss our late night talks. I miss everything about you. I’m thankful that I do not grieve without hope. I love you Tyler Grant! You are missed more than words could ever begin to describe.

God is good, even in this!

“But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep.” 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14
