The rest of the day was spent getting ready for the wedding. It was beautiful and we feel so honored to have been a part of it. It was fun getting to see MORE of our sweet friends here. We love knowing that no matter how long we go without seeing each other....or how far apart we are...there are some people who will always be "lifelong friends." We are abundantly blessed because we feel we have SO many here in Edna.
Caed has done great thus far on the trip. However....we had another one of our "serious" talks tonight at the wedding. (they always seem to happen when Caed is in the restroom...ha!) We had been at the reception for maybe an hour, he had eaten some fruit, and he said to me (while on the potty)......"Mommy, I wish I was normal." I ask him to explain further. He said it just wasn't fair that everybody else gets to eat cake and drink punch and he doesn't. I know it's SO hard on him at times.....especially ones like tonight when he's with his friends....everyone is celebrating and in his mind he can't do the same. I assured him again that he is getting better....he WILL be "normal" again someday, but it's just going to take time. Please continue to pray for his little spirit. Most of the time, he acts so normal, but I forget that his life (as he knew it) has been completely turned upside down...and he's old enough to recognize it.

Guys, it was GREAT seeing you this weekend. In absence, I think sometimes we forget how great kinship really is. Although, when reunited, it's such a sweet sweet spirit. I can't help but think that is what Heaven is going to be like. Thank you so much for your friendships........probably more like "cousin-ships"!!! ALWAYS good to see Caed bouncing off of the walls! We love you and look forward to seeing you again soon!
