We got a notice in the mail on Saturday that Beck's grave marker was installed. Within 15 minutes we were over there to take a look. I could not wait another minute. As soon as we got there tears immediately came, my stomach tightened, and my heart felt like it was in a vice grip. There lies the body of our little baby. There is the stone that will forever mark his place in a cemetery. Not exactly a peaceful feeling. I could not stop the tears from falling. The stone itself is perfect, beautiful and a proper marker for our little Beckett. There on his stone lay a Minneapolis 2009 Marathon Finisher Medal. Jamie ran her first full marathon on the anniversary of Beck's death. She ran the last mile in honor of Beckett. I know that she worked so hard training for that marathon. Lots and lots of hours of running...it takes a lot of focus and drive to not to say forget it...it is too hard. But she did it (as we all knew she would). AND to see her medal laying on Beck's grave was an indescribable feeling. A feeling that has no adequate words, just tears. Thank you Jamie! Here is a photo of Beckett's grave marker. We feel it is as perfect as it can get. Thanks also to Cory's mom and Keith for sharing the expense.
I love you little Beckett. I wish we were picking out Christmas gifts for you instead of something to mark your grave. We never thought in a million years that you would not be with us today. We love you more than you will ever know!
