Happy 10th Birthday Silas!

Today you would be 10 years old.

When you were here you like Legos, Go Diego Go, Power Rangers, Angry Birds, and Sea Turtles.

You enjoyed painting (from bird houses to your fingernails), swimming, making jokes, and playing with your brothers, especially Jason.

You liked to eat pizza with black olives, Capri Suns, Oreos, and Orange Gatorade.

Your favorite song was "Our God is Greater".

Your favorite colors were Gold, Blue, Red, and Yellow, in that order.

It has been 5 years since then. I don't know what you would have liked now. Would you still be playing with Legos? Would you be into video games now like your big brothers? Would you love reading like Michael? Or working with your hands like Gideon? Maybe you would be into role playing with Jason and the two of you would spend hours outside playing out what ever story you had invented.

While I am sad you are not here, and I don't know the 10 year old you, I am so happy that you were here. I am comforted that you are in Heaven with Jesus now, and someday, we will be together again.

Happy Birthday in Heaven Silas. We miss you. We love you.
