Great Family Friends The Christensen and Visiting Melissa

I got to sleep in today and it was great then I had to get out of the house Larry had Direct TV here changing out from cable to Direct TV and all those wires make me crazy. So I went to Michael’s and got Melissa her favorite flowers for her grave site today. Bought some pretty pink and yellow tulips and when I got their friend of our family Kim had been there and left flowers and a pretty pink butterfly. She is an amazing woman and I am so thankful that God put her and her family in our life’s way back when Trey was in 6^th grade. Her son Matt is Treys best friend and gets the honor of being one of the best men in his wedding this November. Don’t know what we would have done without them all these years they came thru and been there for us in great times like Melissa wedding Nolan was an usher and our Sarah caught the bouquet not to mention all the great parties we been together at. I remember when Melody was just a little thing maybe 2or 3 she keep asking Larry his name over and over what’s your name? Larry said if she asks me again I am going to tell her Bob. Guess what she did and for years he was known as Mr. Bob and then when Veggie Tales came out and there was a Bob and Larry we had so much fun teasing Larry and the kids loved it. Madeline is our girl that was quite but we could always count on her to make us smile or laugh. Then it was Kim tall called me and beat me to the hospital when Trey broke his arm a few years ago and had to have surgery; not to mention all of them being there for us when we lost Melissa. God has truly blessed us with the Christensen family and I look forward to many more years of friendship with them. I hope they know we love them all to the moon and back.

I had a great visit with Melissa yes it was very tearful but I was able to pray and let God know exactly what I was needing and I am so looking forward to seeing how he has me handle my prayers and helping me get my act together. It is almost a year now since I lost my precious sweet baby girl and the pain is still deep but I know I am healing and getting there; where I know God wants me to be and where Melissa would be happy for me. I so miss seeing her beautiful face and smelling her; not to mention her free spirit, laughter. I would do anything to have her back even put up with her hard head and bad behavior we dealt with at times when she was in school. I love her so much there are no words to describe it however I do know she is in Heaven with other family members having a wonderful time. But like in a song we played at her funeral I just keep telling her “Save a place for me Save a place for me; I be there soon”. What a glorious and happy day that will be when all of us are together again and I can have peace know that my family is saved and will all be together again.
