Tate has been on my mind a lot this past week or so. I miss that sweet boy so very much. I wonder if the pain ever does go away. Travis and Brandi, you have been such an amazing inspiration. I know your hearts are breaking and I can’t even imagine your day to day…
Brandi, I’ll never forget you calling me after your ultrasound and telling me there was something wrong with Tate. I was so worried and just kept praying that everything would be okay as long as he was alive. I remember talking about him more at the rodeo and knowing that whatever happened you and trav…
This weekend is conference weekend. Six months ago was conference weekend too, and the last weekend we spent with Tate. We went up to the cabin with Grandma and Grandpa J and Heather and Allen?s family. Tate was so much fun! He was loving being the center of attention, getting everyone to clap or scream…
The last few weeks I have been noticing all the marks that Tate has left behind for us. Some people will never know about the marks that Tate left behind, but I am one of the lucky ones who gets to see them everyday. The first mark is the mole on my right cheek just…
I can’t believe it has already been four months since we lost that sweet boy. It seems like its been forever but at the same time it seems it was just yesterday he was scooting around and laughing. Every time we have trials come up (and there have been many this year), they seem so…
Wednesday nights became date night for Tate and I. Tate’s whole life Travis had Young Men’s or Bishopric meetig on Wednesday nights, so Tate would get to stay up late to keep me company. Because Travis is gone on Wednesday night’s I try to make sure we have family dinner together and then a nice…
I remember the time we went to Red Mango and he had his casts and he was just banging away with them on the table and having the time of his life. What a cute boy. He wasn’t going to let anything stop him from having a good time. What amazing parents you both are…
Travis is the perfect Daddy for Tate! I remember walking out of the hospital with him, after we had just learned that our baby boy was missing his left hand, and Travis just smiling and talking about how excited he was to buy him his first crossbow. He is the perfect example of unconditional love,…
My favorite memory of Tate is when Hunter was standing over the stroller during sacrament and he was just making Tate laugh and laugh in the middle of a talk. I looked at Travis who was on the stand and he started laughing and then I looked over at Brandi, who was also laughing. By…
My favorite memory of Tate is actually the first time I ever met him. We came over to your house to see him when he was just a few weeks old, and I will never forget holding him for the first time. He had the most powerful little spirit it actually made me cry! You…
