Haddock Heartstrings: Peace

Peace

I am grateful for days of peace. Today is one of those days. I can feel the love of my Savior and I know He wants me to feel this peace. Tomorrow I may feel sadness, so I am taking advantage of my serenity. The girls and I are going to play some games and watch a movie together. (Cameron is having a GG date...grandma time.)

Peace is a wonderful feeling. I wish I felt like this everyday!

I miss Evan, but I will see him again.

Finding Joy in the Midst of Grief

I have felt for sometime that I should post the purpose for this blog. For me to do something...I need to have a purpose... It started as a little thing...with a post about Evan...then the very next day he drowned...I didn't think nor want to continue a blog...but, it has become an outlet where I can express my feelings about my grief and also post some Joys along the way...It may get out of sequence from time to time....Grief is not linear, so my posts will not be linear. I hope to find Joy in the Midst of my Grief and possibly help some other struggling soul....We are not alone in this, God does not want us to grieve alone. Yes, we must do a ton of grieving alone, but we also need help from "Angels" among us.

Evan Chandler Haddock

September 7, 2006- August 10, 2008 (Just click on his picture to watch his video made by my 15 yr old cousin Brianne) The audiosteam has been disabled...need to get this fixed! We lost our beautiful 23 month old boy to a drowning accident. We went to visit family and somehow Evan managed to get in the backyard and found a bucket and I imagine he thought it would be fun to fill it with water (the bucket was found next to him)...I guess he slipped in the pool...or the weight of the water in the bucket caused him to fall...or maybe he was reaching for the bucket and slipped. It's all a mystery. We miss and love him dearly and wish he was still here. How we miss our Little Sunshine!
