Dearest Tacen
Happy 16th birthday sweet boy! I miss you! I've been trying to picture what you would be like right now. Getting your drivers license, so excited for driving and freedom I'm sure. I honestly wish I was getting an extra driver. I know that would be extremely helpful. I was listening to a podcast this week with a quote from Joseph Smith, talking about how you can hear us when we speak. How it helps strengthen you in your work on the other side when we are striving to be faithful. I sure hope that's true. One of my deepest hearts desires is to be with you again and live worthy of the blessing of our eternal family! You are are goal!
Last year for your birthday I asked Chat to show me what you might look like at 15 and I love the picture it generated. I know it's just AI, but the picture generated looked so much like Dad it was uncanny. It's been this special thing I've held on to as I have often wonder what you'd look like.
A few weeks ago I was having a hard time and I called out to you hoping you were near, that you could help me and it was immediate, but things did improve and I truly believe you were apart of that! You are so special Tace! I always wish you were still here and I was getting to experience all the things your 16 year old self would be doing and I am so proud of the valiant soul you are and that I got to have the chance to be your mom here on earth for 28 short months.
We went to White Water this week and played in the water. We are going to the lake tomorrow for more water fun in your honor. We are making sugar cookie bars for your dessert and sending balloons like always and missing you every day! The kids still talk of you often. Tyg has been talking more about you lately and that you his big brother and he misses you. Keep guiding us back to heaven where you are! I love you!
Love,
Mom
