Father’s Day.
I can’t shake the
“he should be here”
feeling.
It’s his day.
Since he isn’t here for us to
remind him once again how
much we love him, we are
going to do what he loves best.
Get out in nature, go for a hike,
and enjoy our family.
But missing him so much today.

Oh Angie!!!! I try to forget or not think about days to come, like Father’s Day. That picture just makes me cry. Nolan and Mark… The love of a father and son. So precious…

That is one of the sweetest pictures I’ve seen. God bless you & Nolan today!! Praying for you guys!

thinking and praying for you today. and praying that someday if it’s God’s will, that Nolan will once again have a father figure in his life. And that ultimately no matter what, he will grow in the love and care of his heavenly Father who loves both of you so much. God’s peace and love to to you both.

I don’t know you, I probably will never meet you….I live in Michigan and learned of your story from Whittaker Woman. I’ve been reading since the accident…..and I pray often for you.
Today we were sitting in church, and they were singing a song to honor fathers and your family came to my heart and mind. I just want you to know you are prayed for and loved…..across the miles.
God’s peace to you all. My father is in heaven like Nolan’s daddy…..I’m so thankful I have a heavenly father who is ALWAYS with me, I know that same heavenly father is with Nolan today (and you).
Hugs from Michigan

Angie. I dont know if you remember me or not but my name is Jessica Haley. I lived behind Mark’s parents when they lived in Riverwalk. I used to be over a lot with Amy. I have been reading your blog since I first heard of Mark’s accident. I am grately sorry for your lost. I can still remember the way he looked at you and Nolan. He loved you guys so much! I remember because I wanted/ want nothing more then to find someone who loves me that much in a humanly way. If you need anything let me know. I’ve been praying for you and Nolan everyday and still can’t read your blog without shedding a tear. May God bless you and Nolan and know your touching people in everyway.

I love your candidness. It was so great seeing you the other night. Sorry I couldn’t make it to Casey’s afterward. My kids are still needing the set sleep times. I really wanted to be there and hang out. I know today was a hard day for you and I am praying that each holiday will allow you to remember the great times with Mark and over time, ease the pain you feel. We love you.

Angie
We love you and Nolan and thought a lot about you two yesterday.

Prayed for you several times yesterday, knowing it must be a very difficult day. Weeping (literally) with you over the pain of your loss. Thank you for continuing to blog. I check on in every couple of days, praying for you nearly every day. I appreciate the opportunity to walk with you, in a sense, through the mourning process and lift you up to our Heavenly Father in prayer.
I agree with a previous post, God will reveal Himself as a father for Nolan. I grew up without a father most of my life (he molested my sister and I and was arrested and my parents divorced – different than the passing on of a wonderful father, I know, but fatherless nonetheless). The Lord kept speaking to me through His Word and revealing positive male role models to seek guidance from and restore healthy earthly relationships.
May God continue to gather you and Nolan unto Himself and giving you the faith and courage to face each moment. Praise the Lord for the joyful times he has given even in the midst of mourning. May He turn your “mourning into dancing again, and lift your sorrows” (Psalms). (Karen)

Hey Angie & Nolan,
Father’s day is a hard day for me. But yesterday God gave me scriptures to remember HE is my Heavenly Father!!! Isaiah 9:6 “Everlasting Father.” Others that said; “Nothing can snatch us out of the Father’s hand,” “ask the Father & He will give freely.” I got to visit my father in-law it was a nice time. My friend lost his dad to lung cancer 2 weeks after my dad passed. Each day God gives us joy & peace & strength to use it for His purpose. I know life is hard, but take heart; for our Heavenly Father has us in His hands. I pray you are comforted each time I think about you guys. God be with you always!!!!!!!!!

Praying so hard for you two as always!
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found,
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne!
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand.
The Lutheran Hymnal #370, verse 4
