loss and grace





We can't find the box of Seth's artwork anywhere. We spent hours looking yesterday and have exhausted all possibilities at home. The box also includes his school pictures, cards he has received, school projects...everything since his first drawings. I've been feeling sick about it. Last night I braced myself before I told Seth. I was preparing my response to "OK, then we're going to have to throw away everything that Isaac has ever drawn!" Seth saw my teary eyes as I explained. "Well, I can start making up for the lost ones right now," he said as he reached for the markers and started drawing. Our last hope was dashed today when we heard that it hadn't accidentally been moved to Portland with Lois Jean instead of here. I'm thankful for the few that we scanned.
