I'm just going to start writing about Rheese. I don't know where it will take me or what stories I will end up telling but I hope that you will be able to know a little bit more about our one in million boy. I will probably jump around quite a bit. I hope that you will come back to see what's new because I will continue to add more stories. And trust me, with Rheese, there are a lot of stories. I am so proud to be his mom. I was given the opportunity to raise this choice spirit of our Heavenly Father for 11 years. I don't know what I did in the pre-existence to deserve him, but I'm glad that I did.

5 months

It's been 5 months today since we laid our little Rheese to rest.  Since those days in March we have been very aware of what day it is each month, whether it be the 11th or the 16th, until this one.  None of us recognized the significance of the 11th of August until a few days later.  I was upset with myself for not remembering but then we wondered if it is a sign that we are healing just a little.  I know I thought about Rheese that day because I do everyday but I must have been thinking of his beautiful smile or his infectious laugh instead of remembering the day he left for his home above.  Most days I wonder if the hurt will ever go away or if I can make it however many years until I can see him again, so maybe our forgetting the 11th, at least this one time, means that it will.  I don't think it will be for awhile, but maybe it will happen someday.  We miss you and love you Rheesey!!
