We have been three years on this journey.
And, it would be accurate to say we feel as though
we have been amputated as a family.
It's how I described it in the beginning, and still do to this day.
(Not knowing, of course, what a physical amputation feels like,
but, imagining it may be something like this absence we are experiencing.)
For our friends, it's been nearly three months.
We are on parallel journeys in so many ways.
And, yet, our journeys remain unique.
One thing we most definitely have in common
is where our strength lies. Where our hope comes from.
In honour of our Austin's home-going to Heaven,
I am offering one of you a copy of this encouraging and
faith-building little book. It has been used to comfort our hearts,
and, I trust it will be a sweet blessing to you as well.

We all, at one point or another, will have to deal with grief in our lives.

I came across a saying that says "we can learn more from sorrow than from laughter." We have found this to be true! Praying God will continue to carry you until He takes us home!! Leah K.
