What do you remember?

Brian died 1 year ago tomorrow. Today it seems like this year has absolutely flown by!

Somewhere in this disorganized house is a notebook. It contains a list of the events of March 25, 2008 and the people that shared them with us in one way or another. I knew the emotions were so intense that my memory would most likely be cloudy. Someday I'll pull it out and review it myself, and maybe I'll even share it eventually. I do know I regret that I didn't keep up with it at least a little bit longer. There were lots of cloudy details, especially early on.

There are things I've accomplished and decisions I've made this year that I never knew I would need to think about and things I've let slide that I used to think were more important. The boys are growing and changing every day and I'm about a million posts behind on how interesting and sometimes crazy any given day turns out. God is good and we still see His hand in our lives continuously no matter how the circumstances vary. I think I learn something new almost daily - whether I want to or not!

Anyway, I know somewhere I have some memories captured in a notebook. I've heard from some what that day was to them and how they remember Brian. So where were you that day? How did you find out? What was your reaction? How did you feel? Who did you tell? Who is Brian to you and what do you miss the most? Do you have a favorite memory? What would you like his boys to know about him?

Whether or not you generally comment on blogs please think about these questions and take the time today. Leave a comment or if you don't want to share with the world, send me an email. I want to make sure these boys remember their Daddy always and would love them to see him through eyes other than my own.

Thanks so much!
God Bless,
Amber :)
