Team Davis Updates:
I have tried to blog before this evening but, when I went to publish it, once again it erased. This has happened twice and when I was talking about Hope. Now, I am sure that it is user error. But, it was devastating.
Serenity Aryn~She is loving kindergarten so much. She has discovered "hot lunch" and getting to pick what she wants to eat by herself. She is checking out books from the school library but, she is already learning sight words! She knows red and yellow. Tomorrow she will wear yellow for the end of yellow week.
She is such a blessing and a great kid. I know that everyone says that about their child but, it is true.
She has also started Awanas this week and although she is very tired she is excited to go.
Serenity always has really great dreams. She usually dreams of rainbows and flowers falling out of the sky while she is riding a unicorn. How did she get so dramatic? you're right........Daddy.
But, the other day she climbed up on my lap to snuggle and let me hold her (yes, this is the best part of my day) and said mommy I had a dream about baby brother. I said what was it? Now, I love to hear these thoughts and stories but, it is also so hard to hear.
She said "I had a dream that baby brother was sleeping in a stroller and he was with us. But, then mommy he woke up. Do you know what color his eyes are?" She asked. I said "no but, probably brown like yours." She said "no, they are green like yours are."
Aaron has been busy working. He has also been taking an active role in the Healing Garden which means a lot to me. He is golfing at the Broadmoor's east course on Oct. 3rd for the Ronald McDonald House Golf Tournament. We just came back from a weekend at Winter Park/Estes Park where we got to see a lot of deer, elk and moose. We went down the Alpine slide and Aimee drove over the pass....yes, it was soooo scary but, she is a brave girl. It is the highest paved highway in America. She had no idea.
Aaron and Travis enjoyed fishing all weekend. They did not catch a lot of fish but, enjoyed themselves.
The last day we all hiked up to a waterfall and had a picnic. It was so nice. The three girls were such little hikers. They all did so good and act like three little sisters.
I have been busy trying to go back to work, it is busy. But, my heart is in my projects. I have a ton but, the three that I am really working on are the Healing Garden, October 15th and my scrapbook.
My scrapbook is dedicated in Sterling's memory and even though it is hard to do. I really love when I get to work on it. I wrote a memory book and I am putting it together to see how I like it. No, there are no memory baby books for people who loose their children and we need one. I will show you all when I am done if you would like to see it.
My October 15th event took a step back and I was really questioning if I was meant to do this event by God. But, the next day my Dr. lined up to have Jared Anderson sing from New Life. He wrote a beautiful song called Heaven. We have had to change some things but, it is all for the better. Sometimes, there are people in your life who want to bring you down. But, when I come down I come crashing down and it takes a while to dust off. I have to realize that everyone has their own issues and their own journeys and sometimes they do not mesh with mine.
Our Healing Garden is AMAZING! We have an amazing group that I am proud to work with and they all work so hard to get things done. We have had so much donated that we will have a big portion done by the end of September. I even have a custom waterfall donated from Paradise Ponds in Monument. Everything is coming together and I am honored that this will be dedicated on Sterling's 1st Heaven birthday. Invitations to follow. I will post pictures soon of the garden.
At church we had another unbelievable service that I will blog about later but, one great quote is "Trust an unknown future, to a known GOD."

Beautiful Poem
Oh Mother, my mother
Oh mother, my mother
I touch your tears
invisible fingers
soothing your skin
I know you think of me so often
in the day, in the night,
in your dreams
going into an empty nursery
knowing I'll never be there
but I am...in your heart
in your soul, I shall always be
for you gave so unselfishly
of yourself.
Inside of you, you created
such a world of laughter, of love
of sadness, of sorrow
every emotion people come to know
you shared with me.
And even though I may never
feel your arms around me
I felt your heart beating,
like a lullaby, singing me to sleep
and your spirit giving me a safe heaven
already protecting me
nurturing me
preparing me of things to come.
But sometimes the journey
of life pulls souls apart
and yes, I had to go on
to another place.
I wish I could stay
I wish this was a decision
I could make
and I know you do too.
Know this wherever you are:
I will always remember
that yours was the first joy, the first soul
I will ever know
you gave me courage to
go on my journey
I hope I can do the same
for you
Your heart beat will always
call me to you.
Love, your child
Oh mother, my mother
I touch your tears
invisible fingers
soothing your skin
I know you think of me so often
in the day, in the night,
in your dreams
going into an empty nursery
knowing I'll never be there
but I am...in your heart
in your soul, I shall always be
for you gave so unselfishly
of yourself.
Inside of you, you created
such a world of laughter, of love
of sadness, of sorrow
every emotion people come to know
you shared with me.
And even though I may never
feel your arms around me
I felt your heart beating,
like a lullaby, singing me to sleep
and your spirit giving me a safe heaven
already protecting me
nurturing me
preparing me of things to come.
But sometimes the journey
of life pulls souls apart
and yes, I had to go on
to another place.
I wish I could stay
I wish this was a decision
I could make
and I know you do too.
Know this wherever you are:
I will always remember
that yours was the first joy, the first soul
I will ever know
you gave me courage to
go on my journey
I hope I can do the same
for you
Your heart beat will always
call me to you.
Love, your child
