Entry 95: BTN Harper’s Story

 Gosh! Sometimes you’re just reminded how lucky you are for the people who are in your life. You know it’s natural for widows to get lots of support and attention after a loved one passes. But whether it’s 7 days, 7 weeks or 7 months, that fades naturally. As life continues to go relationships change and at times this causes me to feel all those big grief feelings again. Worried about losing pieces of Brian along the way. But here we are 7 (almost 8) years later and the love and support continues to surround us. Shortly after Brian passed, Brent authored a book for Harper all about her dad from her own perspective. We often read it when she’s missing him extra. We’ve carefully treasured the copy we’ve had held together by staples and a thin piece of duct tape. Well today we received our official book book of Brent’s awesome story. We are


so thankful for this treasure that will now last forever. It’s also an amazing symbol of all the support that we continue to receive. How amazing that 7 years later, the attention and support for this widow and her girl hasn’t faded. We love the continued reminders of love, friendship and community.
