Mother Day 2013

I want to remember this day, this moment.

 

I wanted to remember Karagen on this day, we took some solar lights to her grave and took our family picture there.
 
 
 
Gracey climbed up for some snuggles while I was napping.
 
Jonathan wrote me this wonderful letter below, I think I'm going to frame it.

 
There are few words to describe the complexity of my feelings today.  I miss Karagen more than I can ever describe, yet am surrounded by so many blessings too numerous to count.  I am so thankful for the 5 beautiful children I still have to hug, kiss and love, they make my world go round.

  4. Wow Crystal, what an amazingly sad, yet powerfully encouraging post! You are such an inspiration to me. How truly blessed you are to see all of this from an eternal perspective. The family photo made tears well up in my eyes. Your husband's words caused them to spill over. Thank you for sharing your journey!
