Treasure's- A Blog by Brynn

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son. That whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16

My family and I spent the holiday weekend on the road for Raise for Rowyn at the Vancouver Rodeo. It was my first time out at a public event with our Raise for Rowyn trailer, that we named Dolly. Hauling it down the free way with my daughter’s beautiful face smiling on the sides. I couldn’t help but feel proud on my way there when people would honk and wave. I couldn’t help but feel a little accomplished when people recognized the charity. We are growing so quickly and our word is spreading. I couldn’t be happier that we are spreading awareness on child related accidents all over the state…..as well as a few other states in the U.S. It ended up being a fairly slow weekend at the rodeo due to the heat but I still felt it was a success. After coming home I have been trying to catch up on orders, household chores, reorganizing the trailer and getting ready for our next event, the Rummage for Rowyn sale on the 18th. As I was going through all the cabinets in my kitchen sorting things for the rummage II came across all of Rowyn’s paperwork from the hospital when she was born, as well as all of her growth charts from the doctors office. I definitely can’t throw the papers away. It’s like the proof that I once had a healthy living daughter. I still don’t know why this has to be part of my story……it confuses me all the time but I will save every single thing that I have left from her. Here I was blessed this perfectly healthy child and only got to cherish her for 17 months. Perfect hearing test, perfect results on all her lab work, not a single health issue her whole entire life…..and due to a tragic accident I lost my perfect child. I decided I will file away all of the kids paperwork for safe keeping. I don’t ever want to forget the sweet perfectness of my daughter or any of my kids for that matter. My days are still a roller coaster ride, unpredictable and at times still unstable but I am really really trying, and I am having more good days than I used to. I trust that this is all a part of God’s plan for Rowyn and I. I probably will not ever understand why it was my child lost. The child that was healthy, had a loving family, and a great life……why? I will never ever forget April 19th when I was blessed with such and angel on earth and I will never forget the day she went away. Even though it can be painful to come across things of Rowyn’s, I love to relive the special memories of her. It’s like going on a treasure hunt in my own house and finding the little treasures she left me.
