Cannot believe it has been a year. We still continue the Bibles for Josie ministry and have been updated on that just a few days ago. There are STILL bibles going out in your name. They have your picture on them and are in 3 different languages (that I know of). The people, especially children, have been blessed with new bibles from this ministry and we will continue it. Happy to take donations from anyone that wants to help spread the word of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
"for all the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful" Psalm 25:10

On the day of the 6 month anniversary, I had so many texts from friends and family telling me how much they loved me/us. I had not looked at the date and was quickly reminded of that day. On my way home, I cried. I cried at the house and I cried when I went to bed. Kevin was down at the site just a few days ago and I had the strength to do it. I walked down there for the first time. Kevin was shocked and asked me if I wanted to know.... I cut his words off and said "no". He stood in one spot and said "here". I cried. He told me that was sacred ground to him. We started to walk back up to our house and I looked at him and said "do you know where my sacred ground is?".... I touched his arms and chest. "this is". That was the last place I saw her. He bowed his head and we continued to walk with our hands together.
I do get angry at times and remind myself that she is in Glory, she is perfect, she is experiencing all the things we entend to when we pass away.
Corey and I have talks about funny things she did, what makes us happy, what makes us sad, and we talk about God alot. He misses his sister very badly, but is so Thankful that she knew the Lord.

On August 4th we will gather at the Brickey McCloud Memorial Garden in celebration of Life for Josie. We will release sky lanterns as a birthday wish for Josie. August 6th would be her 8th birthday. Let us carry on by Living in Love!

I cannot believe it has been 4 months since Josie has gone to Heaven to be with our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. To me, her mother, it seems like a blink and yet I can't believe I've made it this long without her silly giggles, crazy voices, jazzy "fashions", and loving smile that always made everyone happier. Corey and I talk about some of those "josieisms" when we are reminded, which is daily! We find Josie in so many things and will continue to live out for her precious life. Corey asked the other day, when can we go to Heaven? His dad said, when we are done with what God has planned for us. He questioned Josie's early exit and Dad answered, Well, she got her work done early and is still working today.

I miss you so very much!! I am only comforted by the hope of seeing you again and knowing you are happier now than I could have ever made you. I thank GOD he allowed us to have you, even if it were for 7 short years. What a blessing you were and are to my life!
