As the journaling in this layout states, it really sparks two stories for me.
First is the story of never being able to get all four of my children looking at the camera at the same time. Does anyone else struggle with this?
But, yet, I still keep trying! I keep trying because their stories, our stories, are cherished. I cherish them and I also realize that they are important to tell. It is important for me to remember our days together. It is important for them to remember our days together.
It is important for me to let them know that they are my life’s greatest blessing.
The second story is the story of this day spent visiting Weston Red Barn Farm with our friends. We had a really fun day together, but we also greatly missed Keith.
That feeling of emptiness, of something…SOMEONE…missing is always there with me…with us.
I miss my husband no matter where I am or what I’m doing. I miss his companionship and I miss our easy conversations.
The kids miss their daddy no matter where we are or what we’re doing. They miss him being an active part of their days. They miss doing things with him. They miss experiencing life with him there with them.
I look forward so much to spending time together as a while family, with Keith home again! We all are looking forward to that while we know that he is serving a great purpose ministering to soldiers and serving our country in Korea.

I’m so sorry Keith has to be so far away, Monica! I’ve experienced that distance and am so thankful to have my hubby home with us now, but I still grieve for you. Trust in Him, lean on these daily lessons, and keep making memories with your beautiful children. So glad you had a great day with the Funks! Hugs!
