On Christmas Eve at 4 pm Noah's godfather and one of our dearest friends, Mark Wald passed away after his 17 month battle with brain cancer. He was 49 years old. This picture is of Noah's baptism in 2004. Mark is standing next to Noah's godmother, Christelle Curilli.
I had been preparing Noah for this loss for months. On Christmas day I was putting Cole to bed and I realized I had not explained anything to him about Mark. So I explained that he had died. Cole asked me, "Where is Mark now?" I said, "Up in heaven with God and the angels." Cole said, "I like Mark better in his house."

I want Mark in his house also. Or in our house, where we were blessed to have him join us from time to time.
We'll miss you forever Mark.
What a precious thought from such a young little boy! So true and candid. All of Mark's friends can relate to Cole's comment...we have such amazing memories from this unique person and friend, in his house and his extraordinary garden.
I wish I could hug you right now Laura. I miss you so much.
