Where does the time go? It’s been 2 years and 4 months since Justin…went to sleep. He is …away and so greatly missed…never forgotten.  I’m thinking back to the last birthday that we celebrated. He loved gymnastics so I had this cake made for him.

He was 18 and we went to North Carolina for the weekend. Here he was blowing out the candles on a cake that a special friend made for him.

These are a few pictures taken during various years in or around Justin’s birthday.

I’m including this one just because it’s one of my favorite.  It was taken in May 2011

Anticipation is important. Justin was living and anticipating an even deeper life in Christ while also being passionate about his earthly life. There are many things that I’m anticipating. Some of those include… seeing Justin again and other loved ones, being in heaven someday along with family, friends and a host of others!  Anticipation is one of the spices of life. Let’s be sure to anticipate  something everyday and ultimately a more personal relationship with Christ. Our actions will follow whatever we truly anticipate.

Away…..but never forgotten

…and He (God) will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.” Revelation 21:4
