As many of you already know, today was the first anniversary of the passing of Alastor Avery. Not a moment went by that I did not have him on my mind. I think he may have been peeking from the heavens above us.
This was August 02, 2019 and I never dreamed it would be the last time I would hold this precious boy and share a photo with him. He was teething and terribly miserable. But the hours spent with him that Friday night will forever hold a special place inside my heart. My little Hyundai is sitting in our backyard. We think perhaps it needs a new alternator. But it will forever be a symbol of our last visit with this boy. He was fussy and we drove around our neighborhood for a solid two hours trying to keep him calm. In same ways it was comical, as Harrison kept tapping my shoulder saying "Grandmother, tell my brother to be quiet. I have a headache!" I said " Harrison, we all have a headache and your brother is sad too. He has teething pain. " Later that night his mom and dad returned and I remember how he leapt into his mom's arms and smiled the biggest smile. My pretty sundress sat in my closet for an entire year until I decided last week to wear it again. Oh Alastor, how I miss your earthly life. But I will see you in heaven and we will have a happy reunion. Someday on the horizon.
I rely heavily on my faith. Nothing in this life can soothe the soul. Only God can handle you pain and suffering and sadness.
Rebekah and Zach , we had a wonderful day.
I have a friend who constantly gives me something to chuckle about. This was a prize!
