Trucks

For those who have been with Micah in the past month or so, you will know that he is infatuated with trucks. He will play with his toy trucks for hours; at his grandparents' he will stand by the window and exclaim "tchruuck!" whenever one passes; when we drive, he points out every truck that he sees. He loves trucks.

If only he knew that it was a truck that took his mother from him.

I hate trucks. I miss her a lot lately. I miss her everyday but stronger these days. This year of "anniversaries" sure sucks.

I too hate trucks. A month or so ago I had a very large dumptruck behind me at a traffic light and I started to cry..

Last year in my food and nutrition class Mrs. Cook told us about her friend Paula, ever since I have been following you're blog. I too hate trucks. Praying for you and your son.

I didn't even think of it darren.... it makes me realize how much more your grief is present day to day. But, I'm also struck by the fact that you can still smile at him with every "epiphany"... even though it has such a different meaning for you. grace and pain.....

Why does Micah love Trucks!
I believe that his love for trucks is a lot deeper than we think.I feel the love he has for trucks is Paula's way of bonding with her precious little boy from Heaven.
These feelings may not be true,but they help me,especially when I see Micah's face light up everytime he sees a truck,he used to have that same glow everytime he looked at his Mom.
I don't like truck drivers that think they own the roads and, don't pay attention to what they are doing, while on the road.
To day is Paula's Birthday and it is extremely hard to celebrate anything without her.Paula was our gift from God and she filled our lives with happiness. We Love You Paula very much and you are always in our hearts. June
