255 Days of Laughter and Tears
255 Days of Hopes and Dreams
255 Days of Family and Friends
255 Days of Life and Love
255 Days of Beginnings, Ends, and New Beginnings
255 Days... that Jillian has now been with us, and the number of days Joshua spent with us.
Alike in so many ways, and different in just as many. We remember birth dates, death dates, and this one time when Jillian (our youngest child) has been with us the same number of days Joshua (our oldest child) has been with us.

Beauty Will Rise by Steven Curtis Chapman:
It was the day the world went wrong
I screamed til my voice was gone
And watched through the tears as everything came crashing down
Slowly panic turns to pain
As we awake to what remains
and sift through the ashes that are left behind
But buried deep beneath All our broken dreams we have this hope:
Out of these ashes, beauty will rise
and we will dance among the ruins
we will see Him with our own eyes
Out of these ashes, beauty will rise
For we know, joy is coming in the morning...in the morning, beauty will rise.
So take another breath for now, and let the tears come washing down,
and if you can't believe I will believe for you.
Cuz I have seen the signs of spring. Just watch and see:
Out of these ashes, beauty will rise
And we will dance among the ruins
We will see Him with our own eyes
Out of these ashes, beauty will rise
For we know, joy is coming in the morning...
in the morning...
I can hear it in the distance and it's not too far away.
It's the music and the laughter of a wedding and a feast.
I can almost feel the hand of God reaching for my face to wipe the tears away, and say "It's time to make everything new. Make it all new."
This is our hope. This is the promise. This is our hope. This is our promise.
That it would take our breath away to see the beauty that's been made out of the ashes...out of the ashes...
That it would take our breath away to see the beauty that He's made out of the ashes...out of the ashes...
Out of these ashes, beauty will rise
and we will dance among the ruins
We will see Him with our own eyes
Out of this darkness, new life will shine
And we'll know the joy is coming in the morning...
in the morning...beauty will rise!
Oh Beauty will rise
Oh, oh, oh, Beauty will rise

We have certainly learned from Josh to celebrate the little things...milestones mean more than ever, who knew 255 days would mean so much. Here is to an unforgetable 255 days with a special little man, and to the ever smiling 255 days with Jillian. Great montage, as always you guys amaze me.
OMG...what a beautiful entry. Phil, your words are so open and honest and powerful in their expression of love for Joshy. I too have been feeling that emotion you speak of, watching Jillian be the same age as Josh--255 days---and I feel so honored to have known him. I love him so much and he has taught and continues to teach me so much. Thank you for making this beautiful montage.
Anther amazing entry, thanks for sharing Josh and Jillian's 255 days.
