Tales of Eight Kids: Emotional Goodbye

I know it's "just a van," but it was Todd's van. Today we finally had to come to the realization that it's time to let go.

My Precious Gift of Todd

...from an email I received from a dear friend when I told her I missed the security and love and all that Todd made me feel when he was near me:

You still see that smile inside of you. You always will. That smile is never going to depart! Let the knowledge of the love that you are gifted with fill your heart. Anytime, anywhere that smile, love, gift from your loving Father.,..the gift of a love like Todd's...it is always yours...for as long as you live. No one, nothing can take that away. There is nothing about how Todd made you feel that has left you. The love he gave you is still with you and will always be with you. Embrace that love, not the loss of the physical presence. The physical presence is such a tiny piece of what Todd was and will always be to you! Embrace all that he has left in and with you for ever and ever as long as you live!

What a gift God gave you! Rejoice and dwell in the warmth of the love that is always yours and yours alone.
