Friends came to spend the weekend with us from Ohio. Olivia and their girls had fun entertaining us with a trick they read about in a book. Put a plastic spoon in your mouth under a handkerchief and pretend to sneeze. It looks hilarious! They could barely show us for all their giggling.
Olivia Faith being silly with her old friend Olivia Hope……we hadn’t spent time with their family in over a year!! 
Thank you, Martina, for a yummy homemade Mexican dinner of tostadas!!!
Logan, Olivia, Nicole, and Olivia diving in to the feast!
Sometimes these special weekends full of so many wonderful memories stir emotions of such deep grief realizing Nick isn’t here to share them with us. Nicole and Nick had been friends ever since pre-school. He would have loved hanging out with her.
Heaven, Heaven, Heaven……..Oh, how wonderful it will be!!
In December of 2007 as our youngest son, Nick, was fighting brain cancer, I began to blog. Writing provided a way for me to release all of my questions, fears, and doubts. It also allowed me to share the ups and downs of Nick's journey with people who were praying for him all over the world. When Nick went Home in November of 2008, my blog became my way of searching for God in the midst of my deep heartache. My heart was broken and grief brought to the surface every emotion imaginable. Being able to release those emotions through my writing brought a sense of purpose to my pain. Having already walked the road of grief in 1992 when we lost our daughter to SIDS, I knew I needed a way to keep from falling into a pit of depression and despair. I had walked close to the edge of a bottomless pit when we lost our daughter,and I knew I couldn't let myself get that close to the edge again. This blog has been and continues to be my tiny corner of the world where I can share My Heart as I journey through God's Word.......thus the name........ My Heart His Words. Thank you for taking time to share life with me. If we do not meet while here on earth, I look forward to hearing all about your life when we reach our final destiny.........Heaven!
