sweet zeke

today is zeke's first birthday, and he is celebrating with Jesus. my sister leah is undoubtedly having a difficult day, thinking back on her little baby that she lost when he was only 10 days old. our hearts still ache for her and tom and little cassidy, knowing that their loss will never be able to be explained, nor their lives ever the same.
abbie and i went out to visit him today, and left a little 'z' present we made. we also left a little soccer ball for wyatt, who is buried right next to him. it was difficult to be there, but we needed to go. it still is very difficult to wrap my head around the way God has chosen to work in their lives, and it still brings deep sadness every time i remember what they have lost.
please continue to be praying for everyone, as these next two weeks will be extremely hard in so many different ways.
we will keep waiting to see how God is going to use this tragedy to bring people into closer relationship with Him, as we know He already has.
we miss and love you, sweet Ezekiel John.

leah has a great blog about her journey: http://mayhemakepeaceuponus.blogspot.com/
