etched in my mind

I was looking thru my pictures, trying to find a picture of TK's baby shower gift for Jack, to blog about for my sweet cousin, Tory. I will get that picture posted for you, TW.

but I stumbled onto this picture.

Not sure who stuck the yellow rose in the gaze of my camera, but look past it, at the group of my guys, carrying the casket of my sweet, salsa grown baby up the hill of Babyland on that perfect July day.

I will carry this image with me till I die.

I'm pretty sure that humanly, no momma ever wants to see this.

But since I have, I will try my best to use it to bring glory to God.

Jack Oliver Young, we are coming up on what would be your 9th month. I know he knows it, but we miss him every day.

Great expectations.

Happy Monday.
