This is Blake -- aka - BLAKER!


Is this not the sweeeeest smile you have ever seen? Jeanette called me tonight and asked me to come and 'see' it . . . besides texting it to everyone. Anyway -- check out the features of this. JJ believes that Blake still leaves her 'feathers' -- that is sweet.
The top right has his famous Power Ranger emblem on it and his shirt has the Texas Walker Ranger badge. His green shirt - a favorite of his . and those glasses and his hair cut. That smile -- where he seems to be saying "gee or cheese" and that flick of the wrist . . and that scranny arm . .the artist, even though he never knew Blaker -- captured him, perfectly.


Then you will see Pongo -- his famous first movie - 101 Dalmations. Which, we only got back after he went to heaven, we still have the original box we had to redecorate after the original box was destoyed. He - Blake, kept it from us, trying to 'hide' the fact that he had it .. too funny. Simba is there -- the first movie we went to see - or one that we remember. He loves his Disney movies. And then, the wolf from Balto - the toy he played with . and what else is there?
The note -- about a few months before he went to heaven, he would continue to say "I love you mom and dad" .. so much so that both Craig and Jeanette had to say, "Blake, you don't need to tell us that every 5 minutes, we know you love us". " ok Dad" and yet, in HIS tender mercies .. that memory of him saying that over and over - would fill their hearts over and over once he went to heaven. God, is so so good to us.
The connection to fishing with his dad and being on the boat and his favorite fish that he loved to catch, I believe Craig said it was a sheephead?


I know that Blake got to see this painting today as well.
He probably, maybe, got to see the artist and I know he is just tickled that that it made his mom so happy tonight. That makes 'us' feel better but just knowing he is in heaven, awaiting us, that is sweetness in itself.


Well Done Craig -- thanks for sharing this -- for all of us to enjoy.


Blake - you are still missed. I look forward to your hug - after I hug Jesus first -


I love you Blake -- your '20th' birthday is approaching .. .


Happy Birthday!
