I can never get through a post without taking a break, grabbing a handful of kleenex, crying uncontrollablly, then through the remaining tears in my eyes, I read on. This is the realist story I've ever experienced. (Is realist even a word? well, it is to me.) love, dee John, you and Pam are incredible for sharing your journey of pain so openly and honestly. I can never get through a post without taking a break, grabbing a handful of kleenex, crying uncontrollablly, then through the remaining tears in my eyes, I read on.

This is the realist story I’ve ever experienced. (Is realist even a word? well, it is to me.)

At the point of the creshendo, it's like I can almost feel Ben, like he's reaching his hand out to me and I'm reaching mine out to his. Yes, babe, we put our son in the arms of a promise. I continue to remind myself that "one day everything sad will come untrue." Beautiful. Thank you Father for sending your son so that one day we could be with ours forever. Thank you for loving us so much that you would sacrifice your son, Jesus, in order to spend eternity with us. That's some kind of love. I'm in awe.

It is with a heart filled with gratitude that I read about your journey, stand with you outside the quiet room in your house and wait for the fullness of redemption. Know that I hold you and Pam up to the light and love of Jesus as you walk between the 'now 'and the 'not yet', as you process the deep emotions of missing Ben. love, deb John,
