A lot can happen in two years. More than you realize anyways. And the old cliche “time flies” really does seem true at times. It seems like yesterday when I created this blog...and that was over 7 years ago. There are some days and weeks and months and even years that seem to take forever (2020, I’m looking at you) but if we look back on the grand scheme of things, life goes by fast. “What is your life, you are just a vapor that appears for a little while then vanishes away” James4:14
Two years ago today a sweet and beautiful vapor vanished away from us. We knew it could happen, we just didn’t know it would be that soon. We still sometimes feel the rawness of those moments and we sometimes get stuck in those final moments we had on earth with Haddie. But 2 years has also taught us something that I didn’t think I’d ever be able to say. We are at peace with it. And it doesn’t hurt the same way that it did. Does it still hurt, absolutely. We will never stop thinking about that curly haired girl. But we knew then and we know now where Hadassah is. And so we choose to celebrate this day rather than just mourn it. It’s the day my daughter learned how to not only walk, but fly. It’s the day she not only got to speak, but to sing. It’s the day she got to be held in the arms of Jesus. And I can only smile thinking about that. She’s good. And so are we.
We continue to try and remember her and use her legacy to make an impact through the Haddie Fund. We have had so many generous donations and we continue to try and spread awareness about the fund.
Our 4 year old Ansley and 2 year old Selah keep us busy and we often talk about Haddie, where she is, and what she’s doing. Despite Haddie being gone, she is still very much a part of our lives and our daily conversation.
Two years. The thought just occurred to me. We are two years closer to seeing our Haddie and our awesome savior Jesus. That’s a good thought.
God is good.
