this summer has flown by and i can't believe i only have another month with you
time stands still when i'm without you, and passes by so quickly when i'm with you
we've said goodbye to you 4 times in the past 19 months
four times we shook as we hugged each each other at the airport in Guadalajara
four times i had to tell Dylan that he wasn't going to see his daddy for awhile
four times i cried all the way to salt lake city
four times i walked back into our empty home without you
four times i skyped with you to tell you we made it home safely
four times i had to see that look on your face through the computer that i can't bear
i know there is a plan for us, but why do we have to be apart
i know we will be together for eternity after you gain a testimony of the church
i know these months without you should be bearable because of the knowledge of eternal families
i know the right decisions are so hard to make
i know we've talked with countless lawyers who say there is nothing we can do
i know there is little hope for changes in the laws
i know the consequences of bringing you home illegally and yet it crosses my mind daily
on august 11th we will say goodbye to you for a fifth time
i cannot take looking in our sons eyes while he cries out for you
Lord give me the strength i need to be there for our son

If nothing else, I can be here for you, Chi. I know that the Lord has a higher plan for your family and know that you will all be blessed for your endurance.
We love Ger, We love you, We love Dylan.
I know this is hard, but in either place you are not alone.
You have your family around you everywhere you go.
you have your family and you have your friends. Christie you bring me to tears with how strong you are. There is a plan for your family. I love you.
What a beautiful tribute to your love and to Ger. Smile thru this and keep looking for that rainbow. It is always there after the rain.
