Tacen's My Brother


We were given this darling block when Tacen passed away! I love it. We've had it out, but I moved things around the the other day and Daxon came out to find it. He pointed to it and said, "Mom I want that in my room!" I asked if he meant this picture with Tacen. He said yes. So we took it into his room and he has it in there. This boy knows and loves his brother in a way that I worried wouldn't be possible! I was so concerned when Tacen passed away that he would be forgotten. How I would I teach his siblings about him? I have been amazed how natural it has been to teach them about Tacen. If asked Daxon will tell you that Tacen is his brother. He is in heaven and he lives with Jesus! His faith and confidence in this knowledge strengthens me! He loves looking at pictures or watching videos of Tacen. He talks of him often. I know he knows him and I know his misses him! We sure love Tacen and I am so happy his brother does too! 
Along with this, Daxon has another picture of Tacen in his room. One of the few pictures we have of Tacen and Daxon together in the laundry bin. We were in Iszella's room and he said to me, "Mom, where is Tacen?" He noticed there wasn't a picture of Tacen in her room. I guess we'll let her decide as she grows up if she wants a picture of Tacen in her room. But Daxon noticed and it was so sweet!
