Carter’s Christmas 2018

Carter’s Christmas 2018

December 1st we hosted our 5th annual Carter’s Christmas.  5 years…5 events…It is just still so hard to believe and process at times. This was the first year that I felt like our event was truly established. We have had so much positive feedback and hearing so many members of the community, many of which […]

Launching Our Arrows

Launching Our Arrows

The time has come…the memories on my Facebook have started replaying some of our worst days we have gone through, 4 years ago. Thursday started off with the post sharing that we had just done (what we thought at the time) one of the hardest thing as a parent, sending our baby boy on a […]

2017 Carter Lackey Memorial Celebration

Our family would like to thank everyone who participated in our 3rd annual Carter Lackey Memorial Celebration and Memorial Miles events this year. We are so thankful to be able to say that we had very successful events again ❤ This year we decided to take a leap of faith and add on a Softball […]

Perfect & Complete

Perfect & Complete

A few weeks ago, we celebrated what would be Carter’s 3rd birthday. Its so crazy to think my sweet boy would be a toddler running around if he were still with us, and not the little baby we remember him as. It’s hard to imagine… and painful. We miss him so. This was the third birthday we […]

My broken heart

Two years. Its been two long years. The day I have flashbacks to just about every single day, happened two years ago from today. I remember James and I had just walked across the parking lot from the hospital to the Ronald McDonald House to try and get some rest. We were asleep for maybe […]

Carter’s Christmas Toy Drive

This year, for our 2nd annual Carter’s Christmas event, it was on my heart to add a toy drive. I wanted to be sure that by doing our events in honor of Carter, we were reaching out to many outlets to help others as much as possible. I tossed around ideas of who we would […]

Carter’s Christmas 2015

I can’t believe we just wrapped up our 2nd annual Carter’s Christmas, it seems like we just finished our first event just a few months ago.  Even more than that, I can’t believe that it has been over a year & a half that Carter went to Heaven. It just doesn’t seem possible, I miss him more each […]

Speak Life on Mito

It’s so hard to believe that we just celebrated Carter’s 2nd birthday. Its hard to believe that he has been in Heaven for 15 months. Some days it feels like just yesterday when we were leaving the hospital, other days it seems like that was so long ago. I often try to picture what he […]

Because of Carter

Yesterday marked one year since Carter James Lackey, our handsome son went to Heaven. One year since we have been able to hold and snuggle him. One whole year since we could run our fingers through his long blonde hair, look into those bright blue eyes, hold his little hand, kiss those soft cheeks, see that most amazing […]

Refined through the suffering

“Time heals” they say…I’m not sure I would be able to give these words of advice to another Momma in my shoes. These past couple weeks have been pretty rough. A couple weeks ago, Alayna and I were in a home where there are normally two dogs. She asked me a couple times where the […]
