why havent I been writing?

I feel like this has taken a back burner, but is so important for me to continue writing and letting out my feelings. We have a had quiet the rough start to the new year.

Greg's grandpa passed away...................


Arthur got sick and had to be put to sleep..................


Life is not fair. Life is not easy. Life does not always have answers.


The past month and 1/2 have been emotional, trying, tiring, long, unfair, frustrating, disappointing. But with all this sadness and unfairness in the world, the one joyous thing in our life is Liam. Liam has been such a blessing to us and the family around him. He brings a happiness and light with him that can help someone having a tough time.


During Greg's grandpas' funeral, Liam was a glimmer of hope and happiness for all of us. He showed us the true meaning of when one life ends, another life is just beginning.

Fast forward to this past week---we found out Arthur was sicker than we could have imagined and that he would need to be put to sleep. We cried, sobbed, felt sorry for ourselves, but at the end of the day we looked at like in perspective and saw that our son was healthy. He was happy. He was growing. He was going to be sad not to have Arthur around but would move on.

He helped us with this sad decision and time in our life.


This little boy who has no idea the amount of love, joy, faith he has put in our lives just keeps making it better and better.

Life is always going to have downs, but we can get through it as a family. Together. Side by side.
