Today i'm posting an obituary for my friend Aaron Curtis Dewitt.....i just can not let him go...i hope you enjoy reading this because every time i see it, i start to tear up and i just want to be held.... Enjoy!!!

AARON C. DeWITT~ 25854 478th Avenue, Brandon, SD; Died: Saturday, July 15, 2006, Rural Brandon, SD; Age: 17 years, 9 months, 5 days VISITATION~ Visitation begins at 6:00 PM Tuesday, July 18, 2006 at Linwood Wesleyan Church, Sioux Falls, where the family will greet friends from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM FUNERAL SERVICE~ 2:00 PM Wednesday, July 19, 2006; Linwood Wesleyan Church, Sioux Falls, SD; Pastor Bill Kinnan, Pastor Jeff Heron and Pastor Steve Selfridge, Officiating, Jerry VandePol and Sheila Swanson, Speakers, Jenny Groen Kooima, Missy Groen and Kim Groen, Vocal Trio, Eric Kooima and Kim Groen, Vocal Duet; Special Music~ "Voice of Truth", "In Christ Alone" INTERMENT~ 7:00 PM Wednesday, July 19, 2006; Swedona Covenant Cemetery, Rural Brandon, SD PALLBEARERS~ Jeff DeWitt, Daryl DeWitt, Randy DeWitt, Mike DeWitt, Mark DeWitt, Sherwin DeWitt Aaron Curtis DeWitt, son of Curtis and Jody (Van Essen) DeWitt, was born October 10, 1988 in Sioux Falls, SD. He lived with his family in Sioux Falls before moving to the current family home northeast of Sioux Falls. Aaron received his elementary education at Calvin Christian School in Sioux Falls. He would have been a senior at Sioux Falls Christian School this coming fall. It is hard to begin to describe Aaron's life and all that his life encompassed. He was dearly loved by so many. Aaron started his journey as an energetic, excited and fun-loving kid with a great zest for life. He put his talents to use on the basketball court, track field and soccer field. He earned honors in track and basketball. In addition he was honored as a member of the 1st team for All-State soccer and was a member of Sioux Falls Christian's state champion soccer team in 2005. Aaron also loved the outdoors and spent any available time hunting (especially bow hunting), fishing and snowmobiling. Aaron's devotion to excel in all areas of his life was evident in the way he lived. All of us who were touched by his countenance and were fortunate to spend time with Aaron will ever be grateful to God� especially Aaron's dad and his brother for the wonderful adventures they shared together. Aaron's compassion and heart for others were experienced by so many. His love of life, love for his brother and sister and love for his parents and friends will be sorely missed. There are times we cannot understand the hows and whys of life, but we must simply trust God. Sometimes life doesn't seem fair and none of us knows when our time on earth is over and the door to our eternal life will be opened. Because Aaron fully believed in the saving blood of his Savior and the free gift of salvation, he is now enjoying all that heaven has to offer. Grateful for having shared his life are his parents, Curt and Jody DeWitt, Brandon, SD; a brother and sister, Joshua and Hannah DeWitt, Brandon, SD; his grandparents, Wes and Jean Van Essen, Pipestone, MN, John and Greta DeWitt, Brandon, SD; many beloved aunts, uncles and cousins; and a host of other relatives and friends. Aaron was preceded in death by a cousin, J. Allen DeWitt. In lieu of flowers, Aaron's family requests that memorials be directed to Sioux Falls Christian School.

I really miss Aaron....i can not wait to see him in heaven someday...i wonder what heaven is like.....Speaking of missing people, i'm going to post some of my favorite song lyrics as well, i know you will enjoy those....HERE THEY ARE!...

Two months is too little. They let him go. They had no sudden healing. To think that providence would Take a child from his mother while she prays Is appalling. Who told us we’d be rescued? What has changed and why should we be saved from nightmares? We’re asking why this happens To us who have died to live? It’s unfair. Chorus: This is what it means to be held. How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life And you survive. This is what it is to be loved. And to know that the promise was When everything fell we’d be held. This hand is bitterness. We want to taste it, let the hatred NUMB our sorrow. The wise hands opens slowly to lilies of the valley and tomorrow. (Chorus) This is what it means to be held. How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life And you survive. This is what it is to be loved. And to know that the promise was When everything fell we’d be held. Bridge: If hope is born of suffering. If this is only the beginning. Can we not wait for one hour watching for our Savior? (Chorus) This is what it means to be held. How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life And you survive. This is what it is to be loved. And to know that the promise was When everything fell we’d be held.

They are just in a long line cuz for some reason they won't go into the things but the lyrics are online, i just type in NATALIE GRANT HELD LYRICS and it takes me to the results...the music video is also wonderful, the link is on my post from 2 days ago

April 16 2007

Today i got my braces off...it felt wierd, now i have to wear this retainer type thing that is just a mold of my top teeth, it takes me a few seconds to get it out and when i finally do, it feels glorious, but then when i put it back in, it is like my mouth doesn't want me to put it back it, it is some crazy fun stuff...so i go back to Doc H in 3 months to see how it is going and then in nine months i just have to wear my retainer thing at night, pretty crazy...AND today i found out i had 3 out of the 4 wisdom teeth so this summer i'm having oral surgery to have those taken out, i'm NOT excited, but oh well, it's gotta be done, and i'm not complaining, i knew this was gonna happen because my gums sometimes hurt for a while so i know that it's probably my wisdom teeth growing in....Why do they even bother calling them WISDOM TEETH, they don't give you wisdom...or do they????? Hmmmmmm I CAN ONLY IMAGINE!!!

Anyway....

Everyone NEEDS to go to this website and watch this music video, it is probably the best music video EVER CREATED...LOL.,or not....hmmm YOU be the judge!!

This is the tree in our back yard, last fall, i really like this piicture because the colors of the leaves just take my breath away i really want to paint a picture of a tree during the fall season in my painting class but i am not sure if my teacher would allow me to do that, i might just go to her tomorrow during class time and ask her if i can do that, and if she lets me, when i'm done, i'lll take a picture with my digital camera and then post it on here so you can see how cool my painting is.

Letters to God...very cute!!!

Dear God:
How come my brother has a pee pee and I don't? Did you run out of them?
Dear God:
My Mommy is sad a lot since Daddy went away. We can't find him. Can you?
Dear God:
My turtle died. We buried her in our yard. Is she there with your now? If so, she really likes lettuce.
Dear God:
I have scary dreams at night. Mommy says I can't come in with them anymore 'cuz I'm too big for that. Where do scary dreams come from, or should I ask the devil that?
Dear God:
Did you invent skateboards? Do you have them up in Heaven too? I love mine a lot and can do lots of tricks already. Do you like watching me?
Dear God:
I'm sorry I forgot the words to your songs yesterday in Sunday School. I don't sing that good anyway so sometimes I just hum along. Is that o.k. with you?
Dear God:
Could you please make my legs be strong? I want to play like the other kids. They tease me so please make them stop.
Dear God:
Do you throw the lightening down at us? It scares me a lot when it goes BOOM. Please stop it.
Dear God:
I love Jesse a lot. When I told him, he pushed me down and made me cry. Mommy says he must like me too. What do you think?
Dear God:
Molly got new pink shoes, and I want them. Is that bad? I won't steal them or anything, but would you send me some too?
Dear God:
I hate it when Daddy drinks his beer. He smells awful. Then he sleeps. He gets mean and yells at me a lot. Did you make up beer? Why?
Dear God:
When I get big I want to play basketball. Maybe you could make my skin black so I can play better. Also, make me really tall, too.
Dear God:
Do you like it when I pray to you? I do, too.
Dear God:
My Sunday School teacher says you always love me. Is that true? Even after what I did to Sara yesterday - or do you know about that? I really am sorry so I wish you would still love me.
Dear God:
My grandma is dying. She says you want her back with you, but I want her to stay here with me. You can have anyone you want. She's all I have, so please let her get better and stay.
Dear God:
Did baby Jesus cry all the time? My new brother does, and I don't like it. Mommy says all babies do, and I did when I was little. I'm six now. I don't think baby Jesus ever cried. He's your son, so you must know the answer. We have a bet on it, so please write back.
Dear God:
Why did you make snakes and spiders? I'm afraid of them.
Dear God:
Could you send me a horse? Caitlan has one, and she's always bragging about how fun he is. I want a bigger and smarter horse than hers. My horses' name will be Bullet so make him the fastest too, please.
Dear God:
My teacher is mean. She always yells at us. She's old and ugly. Why did you make bad and mean people?
Dear God:
Help me to not wet my bed anymore. I keep getting whippings, but I still can't stop.
Dear God:
Why do old people smell funny?
Dear God:
I saw a kangaroo and a buffalo today at the zoo. I like the lion best. What is your favorite? I think the ostrich is funny looking - did you do that on purpose?
Dear God:
I don't like brussel sprouts. Do I still have to eat them? I don't like milk, either. Mostly I like pizza.
Dear God:
I love you, God.
Dear God:
Would you make me a little brother? I want to have someone to boss around like my brother does me.
Dear God:
Why didn't you make me special? Cloe is specially pretty and Janine is specially smart. Ryan can run faster than anyone and wins all the races. Tina has perfect teeth. And Carmen can speak two languages. Did you forget to give me something special to be?
Dear God:
My dog, Bowser is getting really old now. He gets up slowly and doesn't keep up with me anymore when we run. Mommy says he's going to die one day. Could you just make him a puppy again instead?
Dear God:
I have no best friend. Everyone at school seems to have a best friend but me. Could you send me one, please? And hurry.
Dear God:
I have a spelling test on Tuesday. I never get all the words right. Maybe you could help me this time. Or is that cheating?
Dear God:
I have a lizard named Ernie. He only has three feet 'cuz one of them got caught in the door. I didn't mean to do it though. Would you fix it back again?
Dear God:
In Sunday School we learned that You are everywhere. How big are You? As big as Shaq? He plays basketball and is the biggest I've ever seen.
Dear God:
Do you know when I'm bad or good? Or is that just Santa Claus?
Dear God:
I play worse than anyone on my soccer team. I'm the smallest one, too. That doesn't seem very fair. Did you play a dirty trick on me?
Dear God:
Please make me pretty. Because I think I'm not very smart.
Dear God:
Do you listen to my prayers every night? Do you really know when I only pretend to brush my teeth? Don't tell Mommy, O.K.?
