Year number 6 is in the books!
Every year we become more committed to the mission of Carry the Load.
What an amazing organization.
The groups that are served by the funds raised are those that need it most....the Wounded Warrior Foundation, Heroes on the Water and so many more
It is what our family does on Memorial Day weekend. Brooklynn and Finley even signed up as participants and walked 7 plus miles...the whole entire first lap.
Matthew went via stroller, someones shoulders, and made some distance running along.
Kim, Matt, and girls joined us as they usually do, carrying a pictures of their "Uncle" Matt in their pocket. I love that we have remained connected. Kim will always be my "daughter-in-law, the one that I lost because of an unfortunate incident that we could not have anticipated.
And the family also did their first camp out.
Guess who slept....and it was not Mandy or Tim!
I love that so many friends came out to walk with us!
Thanks for all of your support over the 20 hour mission.
One last stop before the end of our walk....a visit with Matt.
Sometimes it is so hard to process that this is our reality.
I can still hear his voice so clearly.
He will remain forever 27 and my first born that I miss every single day
Matt's little namesake.
Someday he will know his Uncle, maybe not in person but he will hear stories of the man who's name he carries.
And thats all folks!
Till 2018...we have called it a day.
