So young. So vibrant. So fun.
I wish I’d had more time with you. More hugs. More laughter.
The past few months without you have been so very hard as we’ve walked with your family through this journey. But even through the heartache, there is joy.
Joy in the memories.
Joy in the knowledge of where you are—No more tears. No more pain.
Joy in the anticipation of seeing you again—and praising our Lord forever.
Joy in the lives touched and changed on this earth by you—because you dared to shine your light.
You’ve inspired us all.
Your light—His light—is still shining.
I’m gonna let it shine . . .
