Mitchell's Journey

DEAR NATALIE, NEVER CHANGE

I posted this image on Instagram last night. We spent some time in front of our home as Natalie drove Ethan's motorcycle for the first time. We all laughed as we saw this sweet woman, who with sweaty palms and a nervous heart, do something she had never done before.

Mitch adored his mother. I believe much of his sense of humor and sweetness came from her. 

I have heard it said couples who lose a child are at higher risk of divorce because, among other things, the very sight of their partner reminds them of their fallen child and that becomes a source of great pain. 

When I look at my wife, I see a wonderful woman who is fearless and kind. I see a soul that I love and admire greatly. I also see echoes of my sweet son. Each day I fall in love all over again.
