Little treasures...
Every so often someone sends me a picture of Garrett that I don't have. It happened today! What a great birthday gift! My Aunt Ellen sent me a couple pictures of myself and Garrett at My Aunt Julie's house. I'm assuming it was a Jones party because that's where we usually have Jones parties! I am really grateful for the pictures I have of me and Garrett together. It makes me remember all the really great times we had together. He was my little buddy that did everything with me. Thanks, Ellen! You really made my day!
Happy Birthday Garrett!
Yesterday we had a little party remembering him. It was simple-frosting cupcakes and swimming with friends-but it's one of the traditions we have that I cherish. So glad we have friends who love to remember him with us!
Wow...9 years old. A big birthday. Each year I like to try and imagine the kinds of things he would have been doing and how our life would be different if he were still with us.
Fourth grade. Probably the same school as Dallin and most likely the same class! (Dallin is in a multi-grade level classroom 4-6) They would have LOVED being in class together. They probably would have spent a lot of time getting into trouble together. I wonder if they would be best friends, or if there would be some sibling rivalry? I'm thinking best friends...with a little competition.
Big brother to Maura. He was always so good to her. He loved entertaining her when she was so little. He would make funny faces, show her toys, do silly dances, and was happy to help me keep her happy. I would love to have him around now to play with Maura and help keep her happy! Many an afternoon I have wished for a playmate for her. He would have been perfect!
Rough and tumble, or sweet and quiet. Hmmm, hard one to predict. He was such a happy guy, sweet spirited and kind and was also a BOY by any definition of that word. Balls, trucks, climbing trees, playing in the mud. I'm assuming he would have followed anything his big brother is into: airsoft, bb guns, video games, swimming, friends, and all the stuff that is the best part of being a boy. So I'm thinking not as rough as Dallin and with a little sweet side.
What kind of student would he be? He gravitated to books and coloring more than Dallin ever did at a young age. I think he would have enjoyed school and it would have come easily for him. I remember him LOVING his preschool program and all that came with it. Coloring, painting, projects, singing, reading stories, meeting friends.
He would have been a super friendly guy. I remember him not being afraid to meet new people and even saying "hi" to complete strangers we would pass in the grocery store. He would have been a real social kid.
Our lives sure would be different were he still with us, but the one thing I do know is that even though we are not together now there will be a time when we will be reunited and those relationships we had will continue eternally. I look forward to that day.
