About 2 years ago, my wife and I learned that our son would be born with a very significant brain malformation and would probably not live. We were blessed with nearly 21 months of life with him. It's been almost 6 weeks since he passed away.

I write this post tonight and share our blog, not to get sympathy, but in hopes of encouraging someone who might need it. We would not have been able to endure our jouney without the encouragement and inspiration from others around us. I pray that his legacy will live on and just one of you will be helped by his story.
