This was 2014. Last day of school before Christmas break. Hudson always got his stuff ready the night before. He would go duck hunting every day. I took this metal duck to him that I found at B & T Florist. (BobandCaryn Morrow)

One of my favorite quotes is “Every day may not be good, but there is something good in every day”. We are just having to look a little harder.

Last year is a blur and I have tried really hard to focus on Audrey. Making sure she knows/understands every day the true meaning of Christmas and still making sure she has a magical Christmas season. I forget sometimes she just turned 12 in September. We will make new memories with her and remember good memories with H.

I am certain that Hudson will be having the best Christmas his 2nd year in a row. I’m kinda jealous! 😉

It’s ok that a certain gift didn’t come in time. It’s ok if presents aren’t wrapped to perfection. The house will be a mess. The kids will be arguing and on your nerves if they aren’t already. 😂😂
Just breathe it all in and ENJOY EVERY SINGLE SECOND, because in a single second everything could change.

I thought today would be a day of celebrating H’s 16th birthday by getting his permit, a picture of him with his truck he bought with his own money that he worked for and saved. A picture of him counting down the days until he would get his actual license. Maybe drive in the bottoms, just because.

(Side note-He started driving at about 9 and drove many times in the bottoms. I wouldn’t trade those drives for anything!)

Instead, I (we) celebrated by looking at pictures of Hudson, happy and healthy. I looked at his red teddy bear, “Baby” that he had with him all the time. I looked at the ranger that he loved to go for a drive in, down to Memaw’s for a visit and grilled cheese. I looked at farm equipment where he would be front and center driving the auger wagon, if he were here.
We bought flowers for his gravesite. We ate lunch at one of his favorite places, Logans. I made his favorite cookies, chocolate oatmeal. I made spaghetti, another of his favorites.
Lastly, we worked, one of his passions.

Also, Pace Family Farms finished corn harvest on H’s birthday. How fitting!

It’s been a day of mixed emotions, lots of tears, but definitely some moments of happiness. I hurt for Corey, Audrey, family, friends and myself.

I am so very thankful my Bible tells me His mercies are new every day because I’ve have used them ALL today!

Thank you to everyone who has reached out today to all of us. Thank you for remembering our H! I would like to go to bed tonight with a smile instead of tears. Please share a picture you have of/with H, a memory or a funny story.

My SIL, Terri, posted this earlier tonight and I wanted to share on Hudson’s page. 🧡🧡

Posting again for all of the new empty nesters… During the last few years, I have discovered on a much deeper level just how true this is. 💔😢

With all the moving-the-kids-off-to-college posts, I thought I’d share something my mama (who is probably the wisest person I know) shared with me when I needed it. Totally unsolicited advice, I know, but maybe someone out there needs it.

Several years ago, I was having a meltdown moment when my oldest, Hayden, graduated from high school. My relationship with him had always been different - There had been a few early years when Hayden and I had been on our own, so we had always been very close.... and it killed me to think about him moving off to college. I was crying to my mom about it right before his HS graduation, and she gently reminded me that it was a privilege to be moving my son off to college. I told her it didn’t feel like it at that moment, and she went on to remind me of one of Hayden’s friends, Trey Erwin, who had passed away of pancreatic cancer a couple of years before, at age 15. I’ll never forget her saying, “I’m sure Trey’s mama would give ANYTHING to be moving him off to college right now. Always remember, you GET to do this, some mamas don’t.” And I swear, I think of that conversation ALL the time. When I’m tempted to be sad about how life is changing, I remind myself that I GET TO DO these things!!!! And how wonderful that is!!!! I know change is still hard (especially when they’re leaving the nest), but that conversation changed my perspective about a lot of things. Thought it might help some other struggling mamas out there.... enjoy every little moment, even the changes.... each one is a PRIVILEGE!!! ❤️

I post alot about Hudson’s favorite days, seasons or certain times of the year. This is NOT one of those posts. He HATED school. He just wanted to farm/work. God love all his teachers. These are pictures from his 1st day of Kindergarten. Hard to believe this would be his sophomore year. I know he and Coleson (Ashley Ballard) are not sad they are missing the back to school season!

On the other hand, Audrey has been getting ready for weeks. Her pictures tomorrow.

These past 2 days have been… I have never felt pain like this. We all miss him so much. Today, I wanted to remember him whole, before the halo, before the wreck, before leukemia. But even then, he wasn’t whole. Not like now! He’s WHOLE! He’s complete. It’s been a one year since we said goodbye, but a it’s a year closer until we say hello.

Thank you all for loving and remembering our H! 🧡

I have imagined all day what Hudson’s’ 1st Easter in Heaven was like! I am certain it was his best Easter yet. Here are few pictures from earlier Easters and then a few from today. Definitely different this year, but Because He Lives, I can face tomorrow! HE IS RISEN!
