**Long Road Ahead**

You don't realize at the times of all the crying and sorrow that the pain will eventually subside! You know as a man you are taught to be the rock and not show emotions, and this was not the case for any of the men in our family these last few days.

I will be the first to say I may not be the most religious person on this planet but there is a verse in the Bible that stood out to me in this particular time. John 11:35 "JESUS WEPT"! If the man of all men can then it must be ok in the healing process.

**Healing Is Remembering & Talking**

Our whole community came together on this remembrance of life!! Our local print shops completely closed to the public to make shirts, window decals, and signs. They even allowed any local individuals that do this for a hobby out of their homes to come to their shops to help with the manpower needed to complete these orders in time!

These are a few items we got in the remembrance of Emily! Below is the shirt Landon got, and if he could, he would wear it every day for his Emmy! He also helped put the window decal on the truck so everyone could see how much we love her (sorry for the glare from the sun).

TEE SHIRTS FOR EMILY!

WINDOW DECALS FOR EMILY!

**COMMUNITY LANTERN RELEASE**
--EMILY-WILL-KAEDEN--

This by far was the best and the most one in a million things to see and take part of. I couldn't believe the way everyone came together and even the news crews showed up to air on national television.

I mean it was beautiful and so many people took the time to come out to show support. Some brought big propane tanks for heaters and outdoor stoves to make everyone homemade hot coco. Some even took it upon themselves to order lanterns for those that were unable to supply their own!

EMILY'S SISTERS LANTERN!

LIGHTING UP THE SKY WITH LOVE!

Well now that I shared the closing weeks memorial for our sweet Emmy and our final goodbyes for now! We will continue to heal in the privacy or our own lives and the loving arms of family. I will say this to the WA community, over this past week I have noticed that some of our family members have grown apart over time. It may have been over a career, money, or just life in general.

I witnessed these same family members come together without batting an eye for each other in this time of need. I just hope these same family bonds stay a little closer to the heart now. I would hate to see these same hugs to grow further apart once again because you never know when your time is up.

GRAB UP YOUR LOVED ONES WITH A BIG HUG AND EMBRACE IT AND HOLD IT TIGHT AS LONG AS YOU CAN!
