Dear Bentley,
You live in Oklahoma. And every spring and summer we go through what we call "Tornado Season." Today we went down to Wayne for church because we just built a new building and we are having a week long celebration as we dedicate the building back to the Lord. Well, tonight services were cancelled due to the weather. Tornadoes broke out across the state. We drove to Wayne before the storms hit because tonight we were going to celebrate your Aunt Lindy's birthday. As we were watching the news, tracking the storms, your Aunt Lindy captured a beautiful picture of you.
It made me realize how innocent you are. In the midst of tragedy and destruction, you can still see God's love in the smile of a baby. It gives you hope inside that there are always brighter days ahead.
We were safe in the storms (and I pray we always will be). And we had a wonderful evening visiting with friends and family. I pray you always see love and laughter in your life. And if you ever need a smile, come find me! I love you, Buddy!
Love,
Mommy
