To my children, i will try to read this without crying. These thoughts, words, recipes, to cherish. Christy and i will die one day. We all will die. We do not know the future but i know these things are true and want my children to know they are true. I worry more than i should about my kids, my mind races to order stories, if it gets lost or snakebites, devlin going swimming, what if she falls in and around. I hope it is natural to be overprotective and over worried and overthink the dangers that lie ahead for our kids. I just want them to love god, love us and be kind, most of all your mother and i love you so much. We go into your room and watch you sleep. Iq part of the fabric from your favorite stuffed animal in your travel bag, and rub it in my hands to remind me of you. I can listen to it and here you. I love you, your mother does too. When the day comes you can no longer see a facetoface, we will be behind the veil of eternity watching and waiting to hold you once again. Thank
