May brings Mother's Day and Memories of Meagan

May is such a bittersweet month for us. We love getting together to celebrate Mother's Day, but that weekend always brings a wave of sadness as we are reminded of the night we lost our sweet Meagan. Man, I miss her so - - - but, I know her spirit is with us. Isn't this the most beautiful picture of her? She liked it (yep, had it framed in her room, in true Meagan style!! :) )



Even though it has been 7 years, it feels like yesterday in many ways. My hope and prayer is that we all remember how senseless her death was and continue to make wise choices about driving safely. My heart breaks every time I hear about another tragedy of this type . . . so easily avoidable. We love you Meags and miss you SO SO much!

On a much brighter note, we spent Mother's Day weekend with my aunt and cousins who came to visit from Daytona. I know they really came to see Parker, but it worked out well because my mom was here and my grandmother. So, we had four generations celebrating the day together! It was wonderful. I feel so blessed to have such an amazing (and big) family and I just love how close we all are. Even those that we don't get to see as often - - - when we get together, the love and laughter just explodes!! It's great. Here are some pics from the weekend:
