"I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living!" Psalm 27:13 ESV
You answered my prayer today that I will always have the tender memory of BW stay fresh. I committed to feeling the pain that would come. I just want to always feel his nearness. Looking at my favorite picture of him looking right at me is a treasure.
My prayers are for Gea and Mandy each day, that the connection they had with him will continue to be real to them and will draw them closer to their relationship with You. Let them feel safe and look forward with hope in Jesus for the reunion that surely must be coming soon. We are one day closer.
God, You are good because You answer our prayers.
"TEN DAYS OF THINGS I GAINED, LEARNED, AND REMEMBER"
DAY 1 November 8, 2021
I learned to snow ski at Snowmass, CO. I gained courage. And I remember the wonderful times.
Only BW could have coaxed me into a chair lift and urged me through so many crashes while fighting my terror of heights.
After a half day of falling down the beginner slope properly named "Fanny Hill" and his reminder to "keep my toes together" his frustration peaked when he said "Keep the toes OF YOUR SKIS together!" My cramping toes got that message. Finally. Did I mention this was the first time ever in ski boots and on skis. Words matter, Hon.
His patience and encouragement opened up to so many adventures and memories that I would have never known without his endurance - and mine.

I LOVE the fact that it was BW who was your ski instructor. I can imagine his wit made it more than an adventure. I pray that the memories just keep snowballing every time your heart and soul catch a vivid glimpse of what was. When Jesus took BW on his own personal chair lift I'm sure he sat right in the middle😊
You are keeping us in tune with your lives and I'm so thankful to learn and read about those days.
Love ya'll....Mary LaFrance
Thank you, Mary. I'm thankful for every one of them.
