In Loving Memory...

People always ask me why I take so many pictures and I've finally found an answer.
It's for capturing the moment, to savor the good times, to enjoy the memories of looking at them later.

 On Saturday night, we lost a very special person, my cousin, Jimmy Lawson.  And as I look back on the pictures of a recent get together, I'm thankful for the pictures I was able to capture.

He was a great person. Giving my sister and I a hard time, every time he was around. He would wrestle us in the floor, poke at us, but what I remember most was that he always enjoyed the company of his family.

He would always ask about me, always want me to come down and see him. He even told me when I was looking for colleges, that I could just move in with him and go to a college in WVa.

The last time I saw him, he met Corey. And as always he had to give him a hard time too, telling him something like, "if you hurt her, I'll hurt you." And then he told us to come see him.

Which we didn't get around to, which I hate. We always forget how short life can be sometimes.

I know this blog doesn't do justice to who my cousin was, but I wanted to write something. He left behind a wife and two beautiful children.

 I'm asking that you say a prayer for my mom's family. Pray that God will just wrap them in his arms.

I love family, I think they are the most important part of life. And it's rather sad that we get separated and don't make time for the ones we love.

I know that God is in control and that my cousin is with Jesus, but this is still very hard for me.

Please continue to pray.
