So today is 2 years to the day that Chad went on his mission. I have been thinking about him so much lately and just wondering, What if. I know..... that is dumb, but you can't help but wonder. I can't help but think what that reunion might have been like. Or what may have happened in the future. It still breaks my heart and we miss him so darn much. We have lots of good memories though and it comforts us.
This is the car that Chad wanted so so bad when he got home. 
From what I heard, he really loved this little old man without legs. It would have been fun to know the stories behind all the pictures. 
This is one of my most favorite pictures of Chad. It was taken shortly before he passed.
We took some balloons to the cemetary with some notes attached. Maybe hoping the wind would whisk them up to heaven and he could read them and know how proud of him we are and how much we miss him. Rachel had put these little army men at the base of the grave before she left... she said they were protecting him.
We miss you Chad and will never ever forget you!!

I am crying right now just reading that. It's still hard to believe. That is funny Rachel put the army men there, I can't believe they are still there. I'm happy to KNOW he is in a better place, but it's still hard to understand why.
By the way, I love the balloon picture. I am stealing it to put on my blog, hope you don't mind! That was sweet of you guys to do.
Oh my....I didn't need the cry today! I have been thinking so much about him and the kids have been talking about him this week. I don't think the hole in our hearts will really ever be filled. I know that is how it is with Brian and his best friend Ryan Mcdonald. I just have to remember that when it is time for the rest of us to go how great heaven will be with all those we loved so much there greeting us!
p.s. What's up with this week? I miss Roach SO BAD! I have picked up the phone to text her twice! DUMB~
I wish I knew him. He sounds like he was an outstanding young man.
Thanks for sharing that with us Kohnie! I think about him and his family often too. I'm sure he's smiling down on all of us and is so proud especially of Roach!
That is so cool, I love the balloons. You guys are sweet. I know he is so proud of Rachel.
Good times. :( he really helped lots of people out out there, huh? and changed LOTS of life. i liked visiting his grave and writing a note to the balloon! i bet he got the note by the way :]
love ya
Okay, I am a Geek getting on the blogspot so dang late. Like two months late. I sure hope Chad is preaching the gospel to everyone in the spirit world. I know he is very happy and would not want us to be sad. I sure think about him and his family often. Gee, Rach has been on my mind a ton this week. I sure hope she is enjoying being a SR. Comp and Trainer. We are so proud of her. The trials she has gone through will build her beautiful mansions above.
