We are starting the third year without my Blake.  I’m not quite sure what to expect.  The first year I was in shock, the 2nd year reality set in….now the 3rd year begins.  Living without Blake hasn’t gotten any easier, just different.  I still miss his sweet smile and his funny laugh.  I will always long to hear his voice.  I’m so thankful I  know where he is and I will see him again one day!

Randy and I spent last week on a cruise to the eastern Caribbean.  God very carefully placed people in our path.  We were able to “Tell the world about Jesus”.  We met a man that wanted to know all about Blake.  He was a pastor…God is God!  On the 15th, this kind man prayed with Randy and I and let us share special memories of Blake.  God knew we needed someone and He put this man in our path.  I don’t believe in chance, God is continuing to connect the dots.  I love how God always makes Himself known to us.  We are never alone.

Randy and I will be married 30 years on Monday, May 25.  I’m so blessed that God gave me the sweetest man in the world to be my husband.  I often wonder how I got so lucky!!  I can’t imagine doing my life with anyone else.  God has and continues to bless us in our life and marriage.  We have a lot of work to do and a lot of people to invest in before Jesus calls us home.  I will always search and choose to see JOY!
