Prayers for the Turner Family





This is not someone I personally know, but I have read her blog over the years.  Sadly Julee lost her husband in a tragic auto accident over the weekend.  They have a 10 month old Daughter.  Having lost someone tragically near to my heart recently, I can only imagine the pain she is feeling and know she needs all of our prayers. 

You can read her story here.

So today our prayers go to the Turner Family as they say "Until we meet again".

Dear Nico,
Happy 6th Birthday Nico….I can’t believe you are 6 already?!?!  This can’t be happening so fast, Mommy isn’t ready for this!!!  Time is flying by way to fast and we are trying to cherish every minute of you, but I know like everyone says before you know it you’ll be heading off to college…..
This has been a BIG year for you as your started Kindergarten, and it has been such a joy to watch you but also sad to watch you grow up before our eyes.  I can’t believe how much you have already learned so far and how much you love school!!!  The first day we took you, you didn’t even hesitate as you said “Bye Mom” and walked into your classroom, which was great to see but sad for us to see you are growing up and becoming an independent little man.
We have had a lot of fun this past year, learning to write better, counting, adding and subtracting, learning the value of money and how to save it, even starting to read!!!  It’s been a joy to watch you continue swimming and graduating Eel’s to become a RAY!!!  Another great swimming accomplishment of many you have done over the past 3 years.  It amazes me the things you can do and when you put your mind to it, you do it no matter the challenges.
This has been a great year of making friends and learning what it is to be a good friend.   You are such a kind hearted child that in any situation you always want to be friends with everyone.  Your innocence makes us love you even more and gives us great pride in you!!!
We can’t wait to see what this next year brings and all the fun stuff we have planned!!  Nico, you are growing up way to fast….could you slow it down a little we aren’t ready for you to be 6 yet.
So today we celebrate you Nicolas Aaron, our pride and joy.  You are the best thing that happened to us and we love you more each day.
Happy 6th Birthday Nicolas Aaron!!!
We love you to the Moon & Back,
