In Our Hearts

Happy 31st Birthday, Nate!
We love you.
Ryker and I went to visit Nate's grave at the cemetary today and this is the conversation we had...

Ryker: Mom, did you know Daddy Nate's still with us?
Me: Oh yeah? How do you feel like he's with us?
Ryker: I can feel him in my heart.
Me: You can?
Ryker: Yep, whenever I feel sad or miss him, I know I can just feel him in my heart and he's with me.

I love how sweet Ryker can be and his strong spirit. He reminds me so much of Nate.

Just so sweet. You are a wonderful person, and it brought tears to my eyes. Ryker is so sweet, just like his mommy!

That is too cute. He has a great mom to teach him those things so he can be that way.
