Yesterday was our little Alan's birthday. It's easy as time goes on to forget the impact he had on so many people in such a short amount of time. It saddens me to admit it, but with my finite memory much of my recollections of him have dimmed. Today I am grateful I was a more active blogger at that time and can so easily access the thoughts I had surrounding the experiences then, thus stirring more memories and emotions to remind me. To experience again, at least in some part, his magnificent little spirit and be reminded how much God loves and cares for each of us. (By the way, He loves and cares for you a whole lot, too. You know that, right? Good.)
I've referenced those posts a time or two before so I won't re-post any in their entirety again, but will just link to his category. If you have some time and feel like reading about a spectacular, strong little boy, then by all means click through. Mostly I just wanted to remind myself.
Thanks for hanging in there, folks, and for still reading this little ol' contentless blog. :)

It really is crazy how fast time flies, and with it the memories. I remember reading those posts and aching for your brother and family. I'm so glad you have such a positive out look on the experience. You're awesome!
Oh Heather! Thank you for the comment. I changed my blog address to rachelwilde.blogspot.com and apparently that screwed everything up. So you'll have to re add me to your follow list.
Sorry for me being retarded, and you having to do that again. But I'll write neat things it will be worth it.
Also, please update your blog -FOR THE LOVE! I miss your posts.
:-) thanks Heb
Love you.
Miss you.
And *I* also hate auto-save
P.S. Can it be July yet so I can see you??! GEEZ!
Miss you. Thank you for reminding me of those same emotions--and, yes, I do know that God loves me, too. Thank you for reminding me of that fact. :)
On Wednesday it will be six years since my niece has passed away. You and her share the same birthday. It still hurts so much. How do you handle it? I'm not sure how I handle it, honestly. How are Gene & Allie doing? I hope all is well on your end.
Sincerely,
Suzanne
K i randomly found your blog, and read all of your nephews story. What a champ for trying to hang on for so long. It is amazing what little ones do to us adults, and how they make us better people. Thank you for the reminder to never take our loved ones for granted :)
