Something really special

We have some news we’ll be sharing in the next few days, but before that, I wanted to share something really special with you.

It brings tears to my eyes and both thankfulness and loss to my heart. Maybe this tender feeling is why Solomon says that tears are better than laughter and the house of mourning better than the house of pleasure. This love that I have is a gift, though the one I loved is lost to my arms until I join him with our Savior.

Thank you Mom and Dad.

And thank you Tom and Melissa and everybody else who helped make this for us. We treasure your love… for us and for James.

It reads:
In Memory Of:
James Edward Davis
Birth name: Seymen Rositsov Nikolaev

We would have liked to have known you.
We would have liked to have held you.
We would have liked to have told you… we loved you.

July 8, 2009 – June 10, 2011

And the tears that I thought had dried up… they are a flood again.
