4th Of July

We have these wonderful friends in California - when they read the blog the other day, they sent me an email telling me they were praying that Craig would have a peaceful day on the 4th. 

"...the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." James 5:16 KJV

And boy did their prayers availeth much....Craig slept most of the day.

Like I've said before: PRAYER WORKS. God is great.

You can't get much calmer than that so we put him in his big wheelchair, wheeled him up onto the deck and there he spent the day with us waking momentarily here and there, enough to smile for the camera and eat the delicious BBQ cooked by my brother James. (Thanks again James!!!)

Andy and Craig....zzzzz  It was a sleepy day.

Woke up for a smile!

 It was a pretty good day for Craig. I hope you all had a good day too!

In loving memory of our 4th of July baby, Jazz.  July 4, 1992 - April 25, 2009 Craig really bonded with and adored  Jazz. I can never let a 4th of July go by without thinking of Our Little Prince and how he loved his ice cream sandwich on his birthday every year. Just like Craig.... vanilla ice cream, their favorite food. I miss our life together. All of us...where did the time go? Don't let your time be wasted. Don't take each other for granted. There are no "do-overs". Appreciate each precious moment together, because they can be gone in just that; a moment. I miss my little buddy. He was one in a million.
