One year ago today.........

Hi Family and Friends! One year ago today.....the world lost a very special man........and heaven's gates opened...... and Jesus met Curt with loving arms and said, "enter in". Wow....I can't believe it has been one year. Brittany and I were talking last night and sharing about this last year without daddy/Curt......we both agreed that it seems like he will walk through the front door any moment and say, "Hi girls, what's up?" We wish that was true! We wish he was just on a long vacation and he will be home soon. Not so.....life is different, a new journey, and it's not ours to choose. God has a great plan for us here on earth and when we have done His will for our life, He will also call us home and we will hear "enter in". Learning to live a life without daddy/Curt and taking the new steps forward, has been the most difficult thing anyone has been called to do. There are days when even one step is painful.....but I have learned with God's help, it is possible. The pain of losing Curt will never go away, we miss him every day. God's an awesome God and he's holding our hearts as we walk through each day. I am so thankful for the many people who have come along side us to encourage us, pray, and give their support..... it means a lot. Donnie Dee and his wife Jackie have been a huge blessing to the kids and I.....we are so grateful. Curt's hospice nurse Ann, checks in monthly as well.........she's a doll, she wants the latest on our family, she shares and gives great advice. Our new church here in Maui is also a blessing. It is so awesome to hear about the many fundraisers in Curt's name, sending kids to FCA camp.....blesses him..... and the awards being presented to Curt......Wow! Thank you!! Life has new meanings.......and I'm learning....God always provides.....the sun comes up every morning and it sets every evening.....and tomorrow is a new day. Brittany, Brett, Tammy, Talon and I are our new family and it would bless Curt to see us carrying on, making new memories, traditions, and he would want us to be happy. Brett, Tammy, and Talon are coming to Maui to visit next month.....can't wait! My little grandson is now almost 5 months! My parents and sister Kelly are coming out shortly after. Life continues and there is still a purpose for all who chose to follow. Make Every Day Count has new meanings.....not to be taken lightly......but live it out to the fullest! The last 3 years have been incredible and we've all learned more about life and its value. We're only here on this earth a short time and Curt's was shorter than expected. Love up the ones close to you and make every effort to Make Every Day Count!
God bless, Shari
