Thinking of my dear friends The Ashtons on this day: Today is one year that Heaven received a new little angel Zachary Steven Ashton, 14 months old. Zach was born 1 day before my sweet little twins. I can't believe it's been a year. I have thought of David, Gillian and the kids often. I'm wishing them all the love, comfort and peace that this loss has brought. I hate that you all have moved away and I can't be there for you all.
A year and a week ago, I remember I was in the foyer at church, Dave was holding Zach, Gillian by his side and Zach with a large sippy cup of "chocolate milk". Gillian commented on "what bad parents they were" for letting Zach have chocolate milk, and I clearly remember thinking "what a lucky boy" Zachary got to have chocolate milk. Zach was truly a lucky boy to have such wonderful, amazing, and loving parents and a grand circle of friends and family in his short life. Zachary in his mission here on earth, truly touched that grand circle of family and friends. I miss his big brown eyes, his contagious smile, his awesome feet and hands,and how he loved to hug anyone . I miss you Zach.
Beautifully said, Mom. I miss those big brown eyes, too.
