It's hard to think of what people would want to remember someone by after they pass. One way was to have people choose something from Todd's room.
Some people ask me why Todd never seemed to have a bad day and was almost always happy.
As I gave it some thought, I remembered how Todd and I would read our positive thought for the day from Dr. Peale's Have A Great Day devotional paperback, which I kept on the kitchen counter.
After Todd died, I found some quotes from this positive thought-for-the-day book in a journal he kept. So, I decided to buy these paperback books, write "In Loving Memory of Todd" inside, and give them as a remembrance gift.
Giving people a gift like this was a way God was helping me heal. Little did I know at the time what else God would do with this book.
I praise God that I responded to His prompting to give this little paperback book as a loving memory of Todd.
"Write down for the coming generation what the Lord has done, so that people not yet born will praise Him." Psalm 102:18
