Cindi has been sharing your story with me and it has truly touched my heart to see not only Bub's strength but your's as well through all of this. I cannot imagine how you must be feeling but I know that God will continue to carry you through until you are all with Braeden once again.

Emails from Faith Baptist Church regarding your little guy have passed my desk regularly. I have not met you, yet I have counted it a privilege to go to the Heavenly Father in prayer for you over and over again. It is my prayer now: that you will never doubt the Father's passionate love for you: that He loves Braeden even more than you ever could have: that you will have His comfort in your grieving - that grief will not overtake you in a flood that seems hopeless - :that your marriage will be protected and strengthened as you grieve in your own personal ways as a Daddy and Momma and husband and wife. Your pain is such that I cannot fathom it - so I ask God to comfort you and touch you in all the hurting places that He CAN see and DOES know. May you stand firm in His hope, His promises, and His powerful love for you now and forevermore. Know that every tear shed at His feet is one counted as precious and cared for by Him. He cares for you.....really. Never question that - it is truth. I'm praying you always know it.

I don't have enough words to tell you how deeply sorry I am for your loss of your precious boy. Our hearts are heavy for you. You are in our prayers. 2 Timothy 4: 7-8 "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me"

I am so sorry for your loss. I feel so priviledged to have been able to witness your families journey through all of this. Your strength, faith, and hope through Bub's illness, has encouraged me beyond words. I am imagining your precious boy, running and smiling at the feet of Jesus. My heart is breaking for you, and I will continue to pray for your peace and comfort during this time of grief.

Dawn, Kevin & family, My heartfelt prayers are with you in your grief. There is obviously no good time or way for someone whom you care about to die, but I pray God's hand is made very clear through Braeden's life. It would be so much better if I could convey my condolences in person, but at the very least I want you to know that I am out here and care. There's people all over the world praying for you. God bless you.
