He is a darling little boy and you must be so proud to be his mommy! I can't even imagine what this year has been like for you and your family.

We are coming down Sunday night and we would love to go to breakfast Monday morning (our "meeting" has been moved and is now on Monday at 1 in the afternoon) so we now will have quite a bit of time to fill while trying to not stress about everything.

If we do get together, I would love to see any photo albums of Wyatt and we will bring our two little books (and of course a picture of C because he is so cute!)

The memories of Wyatt, especially from one year ago, are still burned in my memory and I keep replaying them, especially this week. I keep the program from his funeral in my violin case and I see it everyday and remember him and all the things I've learned from you guys. Thank you for being an example!

While teaching Joy School yesterday, a huge yellow and black butterfly flew right past my face while I was outside with the children. I immediately thought of you and Wyatt and then of Evan....Yellow was Evan's favorite color. It made me smile as I watched it soar up toward the sky until I could no longer could see it.

I just want you to know how much I love to read your blog. It is truly one of the few that I have found that focus on our Savior. You are a strength to me, and bring a peace and comfort into my life through your words. I can comprehend your sorrow, but not fully understand...each has their own pain, as I also lost a little girl. I wanted you to know that each time I read your blog I feel the spirit, feel how much you love your family, and your little Wyatt. Thank you so much! You are truly a comforting Angel.

I know this weeks is/has been one of the hardest. <BR/><BR/>I too have thought about where we all were 1 year ago. I've thought about how hard it was at work knowing Wyatt was up there at Primary's fighting. I remember every emotion I felt...we ALL felt as a family. I remember how lifted up and supported you and Derek were. I remember how in awe I was (and still am) of your strength. I remember seeing Wyatt. I remember holding him for the last time and the feeling in the room. <BR/><BR/>There were so many family members, seen and unseen, that were in his room as we said goodbye to your beautiful and sweet little boy. It's a feeling I will NEVER forget. Those memories are as vivid as they were 1 year ago. I believe those angels who were with us in that room prayed along with us for Wyatt and for you. <BR/><BR/>He is missed. He is remembered. He is so loved!<BR/><BR/>I love you Andrea! I will call you tonight for sure. My prayers are with you as always!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14736153302348123568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6425274504165277600.post-13852967899354334652009-03-12T11:06:00.000-06:002009-03-12T11:06:00.000-06:00Andrea, you are such a strength to so many.

I wish there were some shortcut through the heartache and pain. And since there isn't, I wish I lived closer so that I could be there by your side through every step along the way. Please just know that I'm there with you in my heart. You are loved by so many, on both sides of the veil. I pray that you'll especially feel Wyatt close to you and that you'll know how much he loves you. Sending you lots of love and hugs.
