Hey Archer –

As more time passes, it doesn’t get easier. We have some good days and some rough days. June, mainly, has been tough knowing that we are less than two weeks from you being two years old. If I say so myself, we have a great theme for your birthday, and I cannot wait to celebrate YOU with friends and family. I think you would have really liked it!

Mama and Daddy should be running around chasing you. I know you would be throwing Zelda’s ball and chasing after Zeus. You loved to move, so we would be busy with you.

I can imagine you being a jabber box, just like your Mama. You loved to talk and make noises while on Earth, so I can only imagine everything you would have to say to us now.

Over the last month, I have had some triggering things happen. Things I saw that I have struggled moving past, things that have reminded me of everything we went through on April 14th. I am working on keeping those things from taking up space in my mind. I’m trying to remember you always, as that happy, smiling, funny, sweet (and more) little boy that you were for the majority of your lifetime.

Your absence is felt daily. Know that we never go a day without thinking about you, wishing we could be with you or you with us, and loving you.

I love you, Archer Floyd!
Mama
