The One Year Mile Marker

Today marked the one year anniversary of receiving the news that our sweet baby Luke would not be able to survive after his birth.  One year ago the bottom fell out of our world, our tears poured out and the love for our family and little guy came flooding in.  Although our lives have never been the same since last August 27th, we can see how God's strength and support has gotten us through some of our darkest days and brought us here to this mile marker- a day we could never ever imagine living.  We were able to spend some time together on Luke's bench tonight remembering him and our journey and where we were a very long year ago.  Honestly, that time could not have been more beautiful.  While our hearts remain broken, we can see now, that they have truly been broken- open. 

We love you Luke and mark this day in memory of our journey with you and how you are forever written into our stories and our lives and our little family forever and always.

  3. I can't imagine walking any more beautifully than the two of you have this last year. God has used you, blessed you, and in return has blessed us. Thank you!
