Anniversary.

Usually a happy time of cake and games, presents and fun. Today i remember Tabitha. It has been five years now and life has continued to test, challenge, entertain and grow us. Thankfully during the same time God has been faithful and guided, goaded, comforted and loved us.

It was with great joy i held her and moments later with great sadness watched her go. But I now find myself content, strangely, no longer bitter at her maker or angry for only giving her a incredibly short life. As time goes by i think it is easier to rest in the knowledge that those in Christ who pass before us are indeed in a better place. The pain is still there but the need for understanding or reasons fades. because truthfully, the reasons are always elusive and some of the biggest questions are not answered here.

She is buried in Ohio but still lives on with us.

Happy Birthday little one. Until one day....
Dad
