Orwick Family Tribute

I still think of you all. It's been a long time since you left us and I have yet to delete your number from my phone. I keep the little bracelet that Emily made for me in my jewelry box. I remember when she came and stayed the night with Katie the summer before she was gone. While the other girls were playing outside she sat at the table drawing pictures of flowers.

I remember one of the first times Katie came over to your house for a tea party. When I came to pick her up I remember Chris telling me about Katie playing on the piano. He was the one who said she had a talent for music. If not for him I don't think Katie would have traveled down that road.

My heart continues to break because you all are not with us. But to feel that way is selfish as you all are finally all together again. Free from pain and sorrow and keeping a watchful eye on those you love. I will never forget your smiling faces. Hope you always had a smile on your face that made me want to smile as well. Thank you for blessing my life by being in it, even if only for a brief moment.

I will never forget The Orwick family. I pray for your peace and healing every day. I knew Chris, Hope and the girls from the 5p- Society. I loved seeing them at the annual conference. I wish there were words I could write or an action I could do that would help in some way. But I know that isn't possible. I will continue to pray for all of you.
