reconnecting
Hi Esther here. I've been reading the blog lately, going back to all the other postings. Sometimes I laugh and sometimes I cry. When I read them I feel inspired and I smile. Tim was an amazing person and he really loved God and others. He was so optimistic and up beat, even at home here he seldom complained about anything, except for the frustration of the wheel chair. I love his challenge to us all, to really love and serve, obviously this is the key to true happiness because that was Tim, Mr. Happy!! Infact, some mornings he was excessively happy. Ever live with someone like that? It's quite funny, he would be making toast and tapping his knife on the counter as he sang a song. When breakfast was ready he would, in the lowest voice he could find,(bass) say,"BREAKFAST!" We would all gather at 8am. He would read a devotional as we ate, what a better time to do it, we were a captive audience. Then, we would pray, thus our mornings would start, with positive input and good thoughts!! We will continue with this tradition, it's good for the soul!
I am so glad that he started this blog. I will be reading and rereading it for years. I usually can only read so much and then I am worn out from crying. My husband was a little sweetheart and an inspiration, how blessed I am to have known him for as long as I did. He died 2 weeks before our 26th anniversary and then it was Father's Day. Those were very difficult days but we made it. God will help us through and the healing will come.
The other thing I loved about the blog were the comments left by others, Tim really loved that part too, we would look forward to who logged in and left a word or two, this always encouraged us because it meant people were thinking about us and praying for us. Some days, I would be at the computer reading the blog while Tim sat at his chair with his lap top, and then I'd be chuckling or sniffling, depending whose comment I was reading. Thanks to all of you who read and left comments. I want to continue this blog for a while, while we continue to walk this journey, and your comments are very welcome! If you have any questions, let me know, either here on the blog or at sterstar60@yahoo.ca, I'll do my best to answer them. Each one of you was very special and important to Tim, as you still are to me. Take care, In His Grip, Esther

Welcome Esther!....yes you are "In His Grip" every step of the way...Tim left very big footprints to follow every where he went. As I saw Team #1 and my kids off to Mexico this morning, I thought of Tim and his passion...he had many, but YFC was his biggest...my son's comment was "it just makes me want to build this house even more"... AWESOME!! YES! Tim was an amazing man and I was blessed to know him ...and you are an amazing woman and I along with many others are so very blessed to know you. you are an inspiration and a very precious gem...
May you stay cradled in the arms of Jesus as he comforts you.

Hi Esther! I think of you and the kids often and I miss Tim very much. I like to watch the slide show and video as it helps me to remember Tim and I love to hear his voice. I remember each time you were pregnant with each child that Tim would joke that he was putting on the extra pounds to keep up with your pregnant belly. :) Only problem was you always lost that extra weight and Tim, well sometimes he didn't quite lose it all. I always enjoyed your visits as you past through White City even if some of them were very short. I'll always remember in high school how I got called down to the principal's office, for what reason I didn't know, and was surprised to see Tim standing in the hallway. I was so excited to see him and then I remember going out to the van to see you, Rachelle and Joel. It was always good times!
Hugs and kisses to all

Hi Esther, Tim would be so happy and so proud that you are continuing on his blog journey! I realize how hard this must be on you and your family for I just lost my sweet Danielle Helmer and know exactly how hard it is. I have talked to a few that had faith before we lost our Dani and now they do not. It's so very sad! I am so glad to see that you faith is stronger then ever, for the lord has his reason for we don't understand and we are mad and upset but i know he will give us strength daily to carry on and only get stronger, that I learned for Tim for the Lord will help you through anything!
I hoe life gets easier for you,ffor you had one special husband there, but with him you created great kids to follow in his footsteps!
Your in my prayers daily,
Take Care and please continue on bloging:)
