This is a video showing how we spent the day remembering our Silas (Ocho) Willaim Lee Gentry’s first year being in Heaven.

Silas I know you are having a glorious time with your grandma and aunts in heaven on this one year angelversary. I am trying to rejoice with you as I know you are whole and happy with our Heavenly Father, but I miss you greatly.

God saw you were getting tired, a cure was not meant to be, so He put His arms around you and whispered, “Come on home with me.”
With tearful eyes, I watched and saw you fade away. Although I loved you dearly, I could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, your tender hands at rest. God took you home to prove to us, He indeed really only takes the best. Everyday I pray, could you come back and stay awhile, I want to hear your voice and see your smile. I want to hold you tight and never let go, and tell you just how much I love you so!

We were having church at our home yesterday and I looked out on silas’ tree and for the first time since we got the tree(last April) I saw a big red cardinal perched right on the top. We have them flying all around our trees on the other side of our property, but never on his tree. We have been waiting and wanting to see one in his garden. Today God gave me that sweet gift. I was so taken back.
