Elise’s Song- Never Be Young Again

Tonight Elise performed the song she wrote last year! You would be so proud.  I’ll tell you how it went tomorrow, but you are going to want to see it…I’ll save your seat until you get back. She has been working on a bunch of other songs, you are going to love them all. 

We’ve been talking about moving. It’s sad to think that you may not walk through our front door again. Who would have thought that when you left right before Thanksgiving that that would be it?  Everyone seems okay with it, except for Ben.  We’ve lived on this street since he was 9 months old- that is a long time. 

Fisher is saving your spot too :). He started having nightmares and sleep walking after you left, so him and I are roommates now. We watch basketball every night before bed. Sometimes it’s Youtube basketball shorts, full basketball games, dunking contest or NBA gossip… He seems to be doing quit a bit better.  I miss watching “King of Queens” and “Seinfeld” with you before bed-that was fun.

Joseph prayed that you would get home soon in our family prayer tonight.  Prayers of children have to count more in heaven than us doubters, right?! Him and Caleb need you…they are crazy! They wrestle all the time, they run pretty hot and cold… best friends or tackling one another… They are crazy!

I’m so glad they have each other.  

Over the years I have dreaded how quickly time passes and have wanted to slow down how quickly our kids have grown up. It’s strange now. Of course I feel the same way about our kids getting older, but I would love for the time that you are gone to pass quickly. 

I heard you call in on a vigil tonight. It was great, of course. You sound like you. It’s hard to imagine where you really are…in jail.

Miss you
