Lucas would have loved this!

Pete & Lucas (By Sam)

Pete came to me today and asked "Dad, can we watch the Lucas video?"
I said, "Sure we can". So, we did.

During watching it, Pete asked many questions.
"Did you like Lucas, Dad?" "Was he your best cousin?" "Did I know Lucas?"

He also laughed a lot during the video at the different faces & funny pictures that he saw.
More questions followed: "Did Lucas like you, Dad?", "He liked to have fun", "I wish I could know Lucas".

Thinking about Lucas, I have come to realize that my son, Pete, & Lucas have a lot in common.
They both have an enormous amount of energy.
They both love to laugh.
They both have the need to be hugged and kissed everyday.
They both loved to dress up in funny outfits.
They both love to tell people around them "I Love You"
They both live life to the fullest, not thinking of the consequences, but rather taking each day as it comes
They both like to be crazy, funny, & goofy.
They both make friends very easily.
They both love adventure.
and they both have huge hearts!

I can definitely see the connection between Dinah (L.L.) and Pete. Its a similiar connection as Lucas.
I love that I can see Lucas in him. I feel like Pete has a part of Lucas in him.
Watching the video this most recent time, I felt at peace with that.
For me, Lucas isnt gone, he will live forever in my heart.
