This weekend we celebrate Memorial Day commemorating Our Veterans!  Heroes who gave up their lives so we may enjoy the freedoms in this great country, the United States of America.  Although there are countless of many who we will never get to know personally, we are so grateful for their willingness to sacrifice their lives and serve in the armed forces.  We owe you our gratitude, appreciation and our prayers to you and your families. This weekend, we celebrate the Veterans of the United States!

This weekend Dianna, Makenzie and I also remember someone we knew for a short time. A brief moment, yet so dearly loved and missed...Our baby Girl...Makenzie's little sister...Kennedy Elle Rivera.  It has been a year since that heart-breaking day when we lost her from our time line, from our present life.

We dearly loved her and were excited to hear that she was coming to us.  Life has a way of surprising us with the cruelty and effect of this sinful and corrupt world- sickness took her from us here on earth.  But one thing is for sure...Kennedy - You are always in my heart!!!  I will strive to be the man of God who would have inspired you to learn from, to emulate and follow just as I follow the Lord.

We remember that though your presence here was but a brief moment - your impact is eternal.  If we could only realize that for our own lives.  On this day Kennedy - we remember you and we thank the Lord for you!

Thank you Lord for Your healing power!  For healing my broken heart and for the hope of better a future!  See you in Heaven Kennedy Elle!
