I know hate is a strong word... so let's just say I strongly despise the L word.

then add my mischievous cutie + daddies red hat...
sitting right on the dining room table w/ the perfect light shining in...
Heck yes, mama's going to get snap happy!
Oh be still my heart. LOVE my monkey-man.

Wordless Wednesday~ Salute

Ok. So after this post, I am ready to start being happy again... I promise.
It's a super hard thing loosing a close friend, but it's nearly impossible explaining "death" to a three year old.
For us keeping it very simple has worked best w/ Jaxy.
When Jax asks where Mr Chuck is... we just say,
"He went up to heaven to be w/ Jesus... & Jesus has a lot of  cool toys!"
"Up to the happy clouds, mommy?" 
"Yes bub, up in the happy clouds."
Daddy, Mama, & Jax went on a nice walk up to the cemetery.
Jaxy wanted to put a flag on Mr Chuck's grave.
As you can see, there's no gravestone yet, it's all happened so soon... too soon.

Daddy showing Jaxy how to salute. 
(Mad respect Mr Chuck.)

Awww... salute!
My sweet sweet boy.
