What do you do with a death date? Is it a day to be drenched in sadness? Is it a day to wail and mourn? A day to talk out loud to God... to Trent? Is it day to celebrate a life that was complete? To be thankful for that life? To remember? To be proud of a beautiful life? To wish for a different outcome? A day a body that was ravaged by cancer died but a sweet and courageous spirit lived on? A day to dream of what would have been's. A home-going of that spirit? A day to realize what is true. For me--all and more represent Trent's death date.

April 6th 2005~Trent's death date set all those feelings and thoughts in motion. Now 4 years later they are all still there, rumbling around in my heart and my head. That date like most people's loss of a family member becomes a "before and after" point in your life and it presents itself daily.

Because of cancer we were given time as a family to see clearly God's work on earth. His work was accomplished through our friends and family members before, during and after Trent's journey--how privileged we were to witness that first hand. We had time as a family to know just how important everyday is and how precious life is.

Trent's life was wonderful and it's message was live, laugh and love--the kind of love God wants us to love. Thank you all our warriors who lived the message with us. It has not and never will be forgotten.

The scripture tells us that the day of one's death is better than the day of one's birth--for me that is head knowledge--Trent is in a magnificient--beyond my wildest dreams presence with the Lord and it began with his death date. My heart tells me I miss him terribly and I wanted more time here on earth with him. Because I believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, I believe in the truth the Bible tells me--my head knowledge. I am thankful that my faith and God's grace for my life along with my head knowledge trumps my heart knowledge on a daily basis. I will see Trent again.

Thank you to the ones who continue to check in on us now and then through the CB website. What a treasure it continues to be for us.

What Cancer Cannot Do:

It cannot cripple Love
It cannot shatter Hope
It cannot conquer Faith
It cannot destroy Peace
It cannot invade the Soul
It cannot steal Eternal Life.

Wishing everyone a blessed Easter.

Joelle & family.
