A few days ago we got a call that we weren’t expecting. A local mom that we knew had lost her son…he was just 2 years older than Isaac. It was unexpected and tragic and our hearts grieved with the family. We had been in touch with this sweet mama and...

These two. I love seeing their relationship grow. Having two so close together was a surprise, especially after years of infertility issues between my other boys. I remember Isaac being such a helper to me when I was pregnant with Karlena. Dominic was working in MN,...

2 years ago it was really hard. Isaac was in a dark dark place. As parents, we had made some choices that we knew at the time would save his life but as a result it made him very angry with us. It was such a hard, lonely path. I always said I would never want to see...

I can’t believe it is has been three months. So much changed in our family that day that two officers came to our door to tell us the news. In a moment everything was different and in many ways I feel like we still live in a semi-protective fog, where the full...

It is gray and dreary here today and I feel it in my heart too. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think of you son. I wish you could have known, really known the joy you brought to us. I guess I wish even the knowing of that could have made a...
