Olive Hope,
What I wanted was to throw you a big birthday party today. You would be three.
I just wanted you to know that we will never forget
you. You taught us so much
and continue to shape and mold our lives.
What I have is the JOY of knowing your nana is throwing you
that party.
Happy Birthday my tough girl.
Dad
"You will lose someone you can't live without, and your heart will be badly broken, and the bad news is that you never completely get over the loss of your beloved. But this is also the good news. They live forever in your broken heart that doesn't seal back up. And you come through. It's like having a broken leg that never heals perfectly--that still hurts when the weather gets cold, but you learn to dance with that limp."-Anne Lamott
Feeling the pain of missing you today...

This is so sweet Rusty -- Love you.
Happy Birthday, sweet girl! Thinking of you guys today.
Always thinking about you guys and always remembering darling Olive. All things will work together for the good and glory of God.
oh you guys... Rusty- I know you remember me from growing up. I read so much of your blog when you guys were in the thick of things. Seeing your strength and power truly helped me get through loosing our little Esther. Thank you for that post. I feel that exactly. I wish I could give you guys the biggest hug and tell you I am sad we are in the same club but so thankful God gives us stories to share with each other. Love you guys- Rhonda (Roosma) Holtrop
