Yesterday, on facebook, my girlfriend Corrie left me this message, and I just HAVE to share it here.
(Just a little background: Corrie and her husband David attend our church and they have a sweet little girl named Alexandria, who I believe is around 18 months old.)
"I went to see your Parker today. His headstone is beautiful. The music notes are a perfect reflection of you and Geoff. I'm sure Parker would have been a great musician/singer like his parents, he wouldn't have had a choice :) Alexandria was with me and she was really cute. She stood in front of the headstone and reached down and gently patted it as if to say "hello". They would have been great friends, I'm sure."
I cherish messages like this. Thank you Corrie and Alexandria for visiting my Parker and sharing this beautiful moment.
Finally, here is the note that was left at Parker's grave by Gretchin.
(pictures of his headstone will be posted tonight)
"Parker, I know it is supposed to be your "Birth" day. We will miss you and remember you even though we never met. Your parents are faithfully trusting God to help fill the void they are feeling. They are in my prayers. Many Blessings to them as God is with them minute by minute, hour by hour, day by day, for all eternity."
I cherish tributes like this, to my Parker. Thank you Gretchin for the beautiful tribute.
Have a great day all :) I know I am so far :) and HAPPY BIRTHDAY KARA! :) :)
