April 19

All our love and prayers are going to Zach's family tonight. He slipped away peacefully this morning, and while we are so sad, we are glad to know that he is beyond pain and suffering in the arms of God. We are in awe of his parents' strength and dignity- they are truly wonderful, amazing people, and we pray for abundant blessings in their future.
Our boys are wonderful. They are growing and thriving and we are so thankful for that. Hays is doing better every day with his bottle feedings, and Will continues to be strong and healthy as we wait for next week's surgery.
Days like today are tough. You question why such a good family has to go through so much pain, and yet we see the grace of God all around us. I am grateful for the blessings that have rained down on my family. I realize how lucky we are to have each other, our children, and the incredible friends and family that have been by our sides through all of this. Knowing that all of you are out there praying for my babies and sending our family love and good wishes means more than I can ever describe.
