Our Angel Boy On Thursday, April 6th, our family celebrated what would have been Micah's 4th birthday. As is our tradition, we let off 4 balloons (one for each year), with a picture of Micah attached to them. On the back of the picture is a brief note describing who Micah was, and it includes our mailing address so that if the picture is found, we might be able to find out where it ended up.
It's hard to believe that a mere 4 years ago, I held my son, Jenna sleeping in the bed beside us, wondering what his future would hold. We still lived in the Seattle area, and I was still employed by our church. We had lived in our "newly bought" townhouse for about two months at that point in time. And the Mariners had just come off of their 116 win season.
Amazing what difference 4 years makes.
Two brief sidenotes: 1) I know God can and will do things as He sees fit, but with that acknowledgement aside, if all else remained the same (as best as possible), and Micah hadn't of died, then Amelia probably wouldn't be here right now. Kinda trips us out to think about things in that way... and 2) we did not use black balloons this year to represent death - I merely figured they would show up better in the sky, and we would be able to track them better and longer than the blue balloons we picked in previous years. In case you were curious. =)
May God be with you and yours! A "true" Miller Family Update will come in about a week or so.
In His Love,
