Ten years ago, I said, "I do" to the most charming, handsome, funny (and fun), Christian man. Ten years. Wow.
I dreamed about him the other night. It was very vivid and seemed so real. It started out like my usual nightmare... that he left us and I was trying to find out his phone number or where he was. (I have been praying that I wouldn't dream that one anymore.) Then it switched and there he was. I hugged him and cried and told him all about how "they said you were dead." He said, "What? No. I have been right here." It was as though his death and everything after it had been a dream and I had woken up. When I did wake up from this dream, I enjoyed thinking about it and remembering it, but it did make me sad. It is so weird, because on the one hand it made me so happy to have that glimpse, but also sad to wake up.
A friend sent me a few pictures and Dustin and me today. I do not recall what event this was, but we were happy! :)
On a lighter note, tears in my eyes, I showed this picture to Riley. Did he say, "Aw, y'all look so happy"? No. He said, " Aw, bad haircut, Mom."
Leave it to Riley to keep it real!

Ok - you had me crying and then the laughter came. Just like Riley to make it real! Thought of you alot the last week and prayers went up on your behalf. We love you!
Thanks for sharing the pics. Your wedding was beautiful! I look forward to reconnecting with you in SA!
Hi Wendy, I love to read your blog and keep up with your beautiful family and you all are in my thoughts and prayers. I miss Dustin and the friendship he and Jason had. I miss Dustin's sense of humor and still remember his grandparent name he dubbed me with---"Granky". Do you remember the story? Only Dustin could come up with that! Thanks for sharing your memories.
I know exactly what you're talking about. Every now and then I have a dream about Grant and love that special time that I get to "visit" with him and then I wake up. It usually takes me a few days to get out of it. It's hard.
Dustin always lit up a room when he entered and can still make me smile when I see pictures. What a wonderful husband and friend you were able to enjoy and memories you keep. He was exceptional beyond words. His legacy lives on in a beautiful wife, 2 precious children and lots of friends!!!
My heart is deeply moved and I ache for you.
I pray that the Lord fills you with peace and comfort through your sorrow in missing your husband/kid's daddy.
I have no words... but I will pray for you and your precious kids.
