another rainbow

This picture was drawn within an hour or so of us hearing that Bryan Fairchild had passed away. I had told my boys what had happened and had been talking to Aaron about my travel plans for the funeral. Shortly after telling Dawson he wandered off. A little later he came back into the living room with this. He handed me this picture folded in half. He asked me if I would give it to "nama" (alisa) when I see her. I opened it up and there it was. Another rainbow. The day of my mom's funeral there was a rainbow. And every time alisa and I would get together for several months after that there was a rainbow in the sky. I remember Alisa always pointing them out to me. They were a source of comfort. I always felt they were a sign from my Mom that she was ok, and that she was happy alisa and I were spending time together - not grieving her alone. There is no doubt in my mind that Dawson was not alone when he drew this picture.

Jaimie-
I had no idea about the rainbow story until I was showing my mom the blog and read through that. That is so special. He is so adorable! I miss you! Love, Tiff
