It seems a strange dichotomy to be joyously celebrating the new life of our sweet baby Bode while for a spell today simaltaneuosly mourning the loss of yours. We have thought about you a lot lately knowing you were Bode's nearest and dearest in heaven with him. We have wondered what the two of have been up to, and now I am especially curious what you were feeding him. But mostly we have felt grateful that you were hanging out with him, warning him about his crazy family, and teaching him some trade secrets (we're guessing things like...how to get a free ski pass while fiengning deafness, not waiting around for adventure to find you, if you get cold on the slopes-no use complaining, just go get a huge hamburger and wait in the lodge for everyone else to quit freezing and join you...) but most significantly, thankful you have been loving him and taking care of him until it was our turn. It has been 4 years since you left us, but with this arrival so new from heaven, and you, we feel as close to you as we ever have.
Thank you, we love you.
Wade, Katelyn, Tess and Bode
