Healing

This weekend we headed to our home away from home, Oak Island, for some rest and relaxation. After everything that has gone on, we all needed some time to calm down and take time for ourselves. You were so good the whole weekend and did well traveling! Between me, dad, and your aunt, you were loved on, kissed on, and held practically every minute of our trip. We took a long walk on the beach, played inside, read books, rocked on the front porch, slept, and ate in. It was wonderful. We talked a lot about your Pawpaw and how we wished he could have gone. You slept in his room. He would have loved having you as a room mate. We talked about how he always kept the beach house stocked with plenty of toilet paper, oatmeal, and bars of soap. We talked about how he would eat oysters and read all day long. We missed him and thought about him a lot. He was there in spirit. I felt him. He was looking down on us and was happy that we were together, laughing, telling stories, debating issues, and taking a stand for things we believe in. He would be so proud to know that you were a big boy and loved the 'beachy' as he would say. It was a perfect weekend.

I am so thankful for my family and for the quiet time I was able to spend with you this weekend. I can't wait to take you back this summer!
