Hugs for Ellie

Reni and Ethan took a walk around the property this afternoon. Bless Reni's heart, she took her camera along! They had a conversation that went something like this...

Ethan: I want you to call me Ellie even though I'm a boy. I want to remember Ellie and if I have her name, I won't forget her.
Reni: If Ellie was here, would you give her a hug?
Ethan: Yes
Reni: Go ahead
Ethan:

Oh my - your boy is wise in his grief. The facial expressions of a hug are interesting - but he does get the totally experience in there.

"PRICELESS ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS!!!!"

Amen!

There is so much love being expressed on Ethan's face.

I would think these pictures in a four picture frame would be perfect for the walls of your home you were writing about in your last post.


They are truly awesome - Ethan is so expressive.

How wonderful that this precious moment was captured for you to enjoy forever.


hugs and prayers.

Reni sure has THE touch. She can capture such special moments on film, and thank you for sharing them with us!
Our thoughts and prayers are with you, John and Ethan as you each work through your own grief process.
