Time Stood Still

Reflecting today on the events of 11 years ago that changed Brian and I's life as we knew it.  March 22nd, 2000 and May 4, 2000 are dates that are not forgotten.  We chatted tonight about the fact that we would have an 11 year old, an 8 year old and a 3 year old.  Wow, that it just crazy!    He is not forgotten, but remains a huge part of our life and our family.  Happy "Angel Day" Logan!!!
