Columbus Bound

Chris, Parker and I went to visit my sister Dana, my brother-in-law Jeff and my sweet nephew Bryson.  
Fun filled weekend full of pool time, dinner and Bryson's first movie Monster University.
Sunday started out with a bang to the Columbus zoo. What a great place, the nicest zoo we have ever been too.  
You know of course, everything that we do we try to see it through Liam's eyes. We want him to get to experience all things.  Chris and I promised each other that we wanted to share the world with him. Have him be a piece of us and be with us everywhere we go. He deserves it.  He might not be here in person but he is here walking with us.  Some people might think we are crazy but we ask "Liam did you like that?"   We know he is smiling as we are. He is our son and God knows how much we want to experience our life with him and show him things and the only way to do that is keeping his spirit alive through us.  
The most special part of our weekend was for Christopher. He did it, he actually got his tattoo to represent Liam.  I got mine on New Year's Eve to represent that year for Liam Kent Sugar. Chris got his to represent his Father's Day. A day that we love our daddy's extra hard. A piece of Liam on Chris to remind him how special of a father and son bond that they will always have. 
An 1 1/2 long sitting in that chair, And Chris took it like a champ.  When I asked him how he got through it, he said "when the pain got to be to much, he would close his eyes and see Liam staring at him." That's a true meaning of what a father is and how much Liam means to him.  What a courageous man, the love of my life, and a father and husband that goes up and beyond to carry us through this journey. Chris has been wanting this for so long and I am so happy that this day finally came. An exact size and replica of what is on Liam's headstone. A symbol that was given to us from a special lady to represent Liam as he was and as he is now
  A lifetime of memories for us to have and a lifetime of permanent ink on our bodies.
  I love you Christopher. You are amazing and Liam is so proud to have you as his daddy!
