Indescribable moments:  

Listening to Luke’s laughter

Picking him up from his first day of school

Watching his first soccer game

Kissing him good night and good morning

In a quiet moment having him say, “mommy...I really love you”

Watching the deep bond between him and Daddy

Loving my baby girl Abigail beyond a measure I didn’t feel existed after Gracie

Holding her close and feeling her heartbeat against my chest

Staring at her precious face and little body 

Singing her to sleep

Witnessing her first “real smile”

Watching Luke kiss her, love her and protect her

Witnessing Adam fall deep in love with his baby girl

The ability to cherish each little moment and not worry about tomorrow as it has enough worry of it’s own

Feeling the love of family, friends and even those we do not know.

Knowing that God loves us enough to use us to encourage and inspire others leaving us the feeling that nothing is being wasted

Feeling God’s arms wrapped around us and never feeling alone in this journey

 

To finally be able to understand the words “rejoice in your suffering”

There will always be that void of not being able to:

Hold Gracie

Smell her skin

listen to her laugh

watch her grow

and on and on.....

The void cannot be filled with my new blessings however, it is filled with many memories of "indescribable" moments with Grace that will always remain in my heart until we see eachother again and God's comfort helps fill the void and knowing Gracie is safe with him.

I’ve been following a blog of Paul Cardall and like all the other blogs I follow, he continues to inspire me and keeps me focused.  I love this statement he shared:

There will be roads to take, and mountains to climb in our future.  Admidst our future joy, celebration, and happiness, we will face heart-ache, pain, and grief. 

He then quotes Neal Maxwell:  We have a Father in Heaven who loves us specifically and gives us things to do and, because he loves us, will cause us, at times, to have our souls stretched and to be fitted for a better world by coping with life in this world.  

My soul has been stretched and I do feel it is helping me cope with my journey in this world for that I am thankful.

We all make choices everyday on how we will spend the day...I give in to every emotion whether it be to laugh or cry~mourn or rejoice.  Today I’m choosing to rejoice and I am feeling blessed to have such indescribable moments in my life.

Would love to hear about your indescribable moments if you would like to share.  It's important to notice them, embrace them and enjoy them.

Here are some photos of our special moments: 

Luke- is doing really good. Feeding will always be a challenge, but he seems to always take in an adequate amount. He is loving school, soccer and visits from family. He will have his next Dr. appointment October 6th, with Dr. Skalansky (cardioligist).

Abbey-is enjoying the typical baby routine eating, sleeping and occasional playtime. I think she is really loving her family :) If I don't say so myself. She too will be seen October 6th with Dr. Skalansky. Her breathing has really improved whic in return means a tad bit more sleep in the Chez household.

Please pray for their health as the flu season approaches.

Grandpa Jim and Kendra purchased a brick that was placed in fornt of the Angel Stadium in memory of Gracie and today at the game they showed Luke where it was. He is pointing down to the brick that says, "Gracie Chez Love u 4ever." Gracie loved going to the games. She was a fan of every sport Daddy loved. Thank you Grandpa Jim and Kendra it was Very special!
