Many have approached me about the anniversary of Carol's passing. I really have not thought about the year since Carol has been gone. Everyday I wake up, it was yesterday. I think about how Carol was always up before the sun. The lamp was on by the chair with her devotion on the side table. The coffee was already made and an empty cup was on the counter by the sink. It was very rare to see Carol when I got up, but it would have been in that green chair in the corner...quite possibly yesterday.
Although it has been a year as well. The line of people sharing how their lives were impacted in some way by knowing Carol was a year long. It has been a year of carpools, track meets, play practices, and volleyball games that Carol would have made into a day. I miss Carol a year--every day.
But most of all, it has been a year of seeing the body of Christ come alive and shower our family with grace (unmerited favor for those of you who don't attend Perimeter). I cannot do it personally, but I want to thank everyone for a year, helping our family, loving us and most of all sharing in the joy for having known this remarkable woman.
