what is normal life

Its been a week now since Christian earned his wings and this has been the hardest week for us. There is a whole in our hearts that will never be filled. CANCER SUCKS!!! No one should ever have to lose a child.
Our life for the past 2 and half years has been all about cancer and taking care of Christian and now that he is gone its like what am I suppose to do now. Normal life as we call it kinda sucks right now and the only thing that is making us happy is seeing our beautiful Carter laughing,and having fun.
We knew he touched a lot of people by seeing how many was at the service. Its hard to believe a sweet little 4 yr old could touch so many people.
Being in WV doesn't take any pain away and we know what will be home when we get there. Its just as hard being here as it is there Christian loved being down here and that is what I'm trying to hold on to. All of the places that he loved and what he loved to do. We are going to take Carter fishing sometime in honor of Christian we are hoping that he will be as still as Christian was by the water :)
Thank you again for all of your prayers.

Thinking of you all. I hope you are finding all of the peace and strength you need to get through these difficult days. Christian's service sounds like it was beautiful, as I knew it would be.

You all remain in my thoughts and prayers.

There arent any words. Just wish I could make it easier for all of you. You know I'm only an email or phone call away.

This is a really hard time for you and nothing can take away your pain. As my husband and I told Aiden about Christian he was sad he was gone, then he lit up and said, I'm happy because he is not sick anymore and he gets to live with God in Heaven. The pure hearts of our children can lift us up. Christain filled your hearts and Carter will continue to make you stronger. We pray for you everyday that you will be strong and courageous.
