Brielle's Obit

Brielle Ann Heyer entered our hearts even before she entered the world on January 20,2016. She taught us very early on there was "our time" and then there was "Brielle time". What started as one of the scariest days turned into the first day of the fiercest most blessed journey we've been honored to take. Jordan and Beca were reminded again and again that Brielle was strong and determined and through her strength they became stronger. When days turned into months Brielle often brought her family together in the walls of a place that became all to familiar. Among those walls there are angels with skin, they loved Brielle when we couldn't, they loved on her, they loved on us, their care was never ending even after the end. Just after midnight September 21, 2016 at 8 months old Brielle felt fresh air, she got to breath it in as Jesus completely healed her. In the presence of all those who just wanted one thing... for Brielle to know she was loved. Brielle will always be loved by her parents Jordan Heyer and Beca Pastika, she will forever be little sissy to big brother Bennett. Brielle was adored by maternal grandparents Shawn and Ann Pastika along with her paternal grandparents Rick and Missy Eagen. Brielle loved her aunts and uncles, great grandparents and cousins. We have been blessed by an endless amount of friends and family who faithfully prayed us through many many days of joy and tears. A private service will be held on Saturday September 24th at Ranfranz and Vine funeral home followed by a graveside service. Father Joe Fogal and Dr. Paul Brushaber will officiate. Jordan and Beca along with their family will host a noon luncheon at Christ Community Church, 4400 55th Street NW. We invite you to please join us then to celebrate Brielle. Memorials can be directed to www.gofundme.com/brielleheyer. Brielle you are our sunshine.... we miss you sweet girl, you made us all better and that won't end.

Heaven

Image
The clouds tonight were fantastic. When I look at clouds I can’t help but imagine how soft and fluffy they are. I can almost picture myself bouncing off of them fearlessly. I said to Rick tonight that I imagine in heaven I will get to do that- I will have no fear like I do here on earth of hurting myself or my bladder giving out- (just keeping it real!) For me growing up not knowing Jesus- barely even knowing of Him, Heaven was really an unknown. I have a really vivid memory of when I was younger. I remember the house we lived in so I suppose I was around 9 and I knew my Grandma lived in heaven. She passed away when I was just 6 of cancer. Because I didn’t really understand death I didn’t get why she just couldn’t come back. Someone must of told me heaven was in the sky because when I yelled and I mean I. Yelled . up to heaven I begged Grandma to come back. I was home alone in my living room and  I distinctly remember telling her that if she really loved me she’d come back.

Uno!

I am so thankful for my two little guys... (which they are not so little anymore) They are both so fun, so smart and so DIFFERENT... right down to the way they look. I found this video of them and they had just turned 4 and 5. Eric was starting Kindergarten and Sam preschool. They were playing UNO with Rick and I don't think I had ever seen this video before. It is an absolute PERFECT picture of the two of them. Take note that Sam never stops moving and Eric is just as mellow as can be. That is still true of them. Also notice the YELLOW KNEE HIGHS they are both wearing (not sure if you can see Eric's)- yep those yellow Mickey Mouse knee highs were the favorite ALL summer that year- Sam more so then Eric, I have TONS of pictures of Sam with shorts on and those silly knee highs! I sure love them. (the boys well and the knee highs too)

Glasses

Just some background... When Sam was about 6 months old we had him seen by a Pediatric Ophthalmologist for a blocked tear duck on his right side. While examining him the Doctor found his vision was more far-sighted in his right eye than his left. Now all babies are far-sighted to some degree, this is often even on both sides and will resolve itself in the first year to year and a half of life. At one year Sam had surgery to probe his tear duct and again his eye exam showed improvement in his left eye but not his right. At 18 months he got his first pair of glasses. We were also supposed to patch his good eye to force his weaker eye to work harder. Well after many, many attempts this has not happened. So here we are now. As of his last appointment ( Thursday the 2ND ) his sight in his right eye has worsened even more. His new glasses came in on Wednesday and so the battle begins ( again )! First battle, trying to convince Sam he should wear his glasses. I let him pick out new frames,
