6 Years and Counting

This weekend will, to the day, be exactly the 6 year mark of Breiton's accident. I can't believe time has flown by so quickly. Just the other day I was amazed at how much time has gone by. I still picture a 4 year old boy with the biggest smile on earth. I realized that he would be turning 11 this year. 11!!!!

Brad's boss and his wife have an 11 year old son, Kade, and I can't help but imagine if Breiton would really have been that big by now. It's so easy for me to see my sisters grow inch by inch, but I still picture Breiton how he left us. My last memories of him.

Shoes off, socks still on. Bright green tank top, jean shorts, and buz cut hair, just like dads. He was one of the happiest kids I've ever known.

I'm sure if he were still here today, he would be the same as he'd always been. Bright smile that was infectious, chipper attitude that he always wanted to GO GO GO. Sunday naps were barely allowed with him! There was always something to do around the farm: whether it was playing in the mud, helpin' haul manure, ridin' four wheeler, or just goofin' off on his bike with training wheels.

I'll be the first to admit, I still miss him. Who doesn't? But life has gotten easier. I have accepted that I will one day, eventually, see him again. I have to live my life and fulfill my purpose, just as he did with his life. There's a song that I listen to everyday since the first time I heard it. It's written by Justin Moore: If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away. This song is truly uplifting for me, and it helps me to image myself once again with Breiton here with me. :)



Another song that really helps me out is by Sara Evans: A Little Bit Stronger




Its very weird for me to understand that it has been 6 years already. It seems like just yesterday that everything in my life has been happening. I can't believe that Brad and I have almost been married for a year! Thats just crazy. One more year and I will be graduated for college, most likely looking for a job to pursue. Its just nuts to wonder where the years have gone. It feels like yesterday I was living at my dads with him, going out for supper with him. I miss the good ole' days. But the new days are worth just as much.
