7 Years

Today would be Elijah & Olivia's birthday. They would have been 7 years old. Wow! 7 years old! I think of them often and miss them dearly. I know they were only here for a few brief moments but they sure did make an impact on our lives. The triplets are at the age where they sometimes ask me about them. I've never made it a secret that they have a brother and sister in heaven. I know it is hard for them to understand why they are there and not here. It's hard for me to understand. But I know they are in a place where there is no grief or sorrow. I know they are in a place that is more beautiful than anyone can imagine. I know they are with Jesus...probably nestled in his arms or playing with other children.

I appreciate the people who remember them and their short time here. It means so much to know that they are not forgotten. My mom & step-dad make donations several times a year in memory of Elijah & Olivia. And when I get a card in the mail that says, "A donation has been made to the Henry County Community Foundation in honor and memory of Elijah & Olivia Wright", it makes me smile. And when I get a phone call or a message that says, "Just want you to know we are thinking about you on this day", it makes me glad. For those special moments, thank you.

So, happy birthday sweet angels! You are loved and missed dearly and NEVER forgotten.
