Jay and Rachel and Joe are at high school Young Life camp, and Bella was entrusted to us for a week of "Camp Cathy"! :) We have enjoyed time together playing cards, cooking, sliming, trying to train animals, driving (don't tell Rachel!), and eating lots of ice cream! :)
I asked God for an opportunity to talk to Bella about Trey. To ask her what it was like having lost a little brother to cancer. Especially now that Bella is a 13 year old young lady. Well, God answered my prayer!
After a busy day, Bella was open and comfortable and very much at peace and trust talking about Trey. Bella said that they rarely remember the Trey days in a sad way! :) They often laugh about something Trey said or did. They share stories and sayings of Trey's! They are happy about the days that they had with Trey! They celebrate his life, rather than mourn his death! :) What a beautiful way for Bella and her family to navigate the journey God has set before them! <3
