Hi Elijah. I miss you so much. They are coming out with a new Star Wars movie. The products are all over the place. It's been so fun to look - at all the stuff. To remember when I was a kid. But then. . . I got to the Lego aisle. And I still can't stop the racking sobs. They threaten to undo me. Our last Christmas together you got a Star Wars Lego kit. You were a Senior in High School. Enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. Yet the one item you pulled yourself away from the family for was, a lego ... View Post
When They Return
A new day is dawning. With gratitude I face this day. One of the older farm girls. One that has come back to the farm. A cousin. Is giving my farmer a break. And her side kick. Not that one. This one. She has brought a contagious joy with her. Even when she is feeling miserable. There is a lot happening in her life right now. And true to Davis style, she is digging in. Willing to step on a path uncharted. Sometimes I feel like God has abandoned me. Turned his back. The ache ... View Post
They’re Going. . . Again
26 days. There are 26 days until they leave. My farmer, farm boy and college girl are getting ready. Shots, paper work and prayer. Knees bent low as they trust for each piece of this journey. They're going because they desire to serve. The skills they use each day here on the farm yearning to be used for a people in need. Arms aching to hold those who long to be held. So, on the wings of prayer, they will go. To a people and land loved deeply. It is here the effects of chemo and radiation faded away as my ... View Post
Every Time I See Purple. . . I Think of Her
He wore purple to the Missions Night. Our Youth Pastor. He didn't know it was the Eve of her home going. It made me think of her. She would have loved his outfit. She would have told him. So, I did. And today she's been gone for 3 years. Her smile and laughter missed by all who knew her. This is a repost from last year. It is my walk. The journey God has placed before me. I am grateful I worked through the tough season with my mom to be able to love and serve her in her last days her on this earth. If you have ... View Post
When You’re Decking the Halls and You Feel Like Checking Out
In a moment he was gone. The police stood at my door. Accident. Death. Wake. Funeral. All words connected to my child. What do you call a parent who has lost a child? Who am I? I am broken hearted. I ache from deep within. Year 3 of Christmas without my boy. Year 4 without my mom. I am decking the halls. Playing Christmas music. Remembering. Every ornament I pull out I am reminded. His name; the year. Given by my mom. I quiet the onslaught of grief. The lights ... View Post
What? November is Over Already? Day # 30 of Thankfulness
We were off the farm for a little over 24 hours. Attending a baptism. Being with family. Trying to embrace this new change. Pushing through the loss and grief and all we have known. We have been blessed. It's so hard because it was so good. Not perfect. At all. But good. And the memories made; a treasure. We want that for our kids. Memories. Laughter. Family. Grace. This last day of November is the 30th day of Thankfulness. My how this month has flown by. Each day ... View Post
