Wednesday, Nov. 4th - 7:30 A Message from Daddy

Stephanie took Matthew to the park and told him about Daddy today.
She was so good....
Pointed out the leaves that were falling off the trees, turning brown, turning to dust, returning to the ground.
Told him that Daddy was in heaven now.
He wasn't sick anymore.
He wasn't in any pain.
But he wouldn't be coming home.
He was all around us.
In the sky above.
In the wind around us.
In our hearts forever.
Matthew cried.
Then...
He asked to go play.
He was soaring high up in the air on a tire swing.
Everytime he reached the highest point he would yell
"I love you Daddy"
And, his eyes would search the sky.
Stephanie joined him and yelled at the top of her lungs.
"I love you Daddy"
(She is pretty sure they freaked out everyone in the park.)
Then, as they were leaving.
The park employees were starting to put up Holiday lights.
As they drove through the tunnel.
The lights suddenly came on.
Matthew looked at Stephanie said
"That was Daddy"
Stephanie replied "Yes it was".
