Here we go again… ❤️‍🩹

After almost 9 years in the clear, Josh’s tumor is back.

It’s in the same spot as before and thankfully, right now it’s only about the size of a quarter. Josh is doing well and feeling good, just dreading having to walk this road again.

After reviewing everything, the tumor board agreed that the best course of action is another surgery to remove the tumor, and they got him scheduled pretty quickly. His surgery will be September 15th in San Francisco.

We were really, really hoping this was something we would never have to go through again. After almost 9 years, you start to believe maybe that chapter is finally behind you. But here we are.

As hard as it is to be back in this place, we also know one thing for certain, God has us. He always has.❤️

He carried us through some of the darkest and hardest moments of our lives, even when we couldn’t understand what He was doing. He has never left our side, and we know He isn’t going to start now. We may not understand why we have to walk this road again, but we trust that He is already ahead of us, making a way.

So right now, we’re choosing faith over fear and taking it one step at a time.

We could really use all the prayers and love you can send our way. Please pray for Josh, for steady hands and wisdom for his surgeons and medical team, for a successful surgery and smooth recovery, and most of all, for good news when we get the pathology back. 🙏❤️

We’ve done this before, and with God beside us, we’ll do it again.

Also, if anyone has recommendations for places to stay in San Francisco during Josh’s surgery and hospital stay, please send them our way! We would really appreciate it.

Thank you for loving our family, praying with us, and continuing to stand beside us. It means more than you know. ❤️

God has us. He always has. And He always will.

5 years ago today, we were getting ready to hand our son over to the surgeons, praying this surgery would give him a better life. No matter what he went through, he always gave it his all. He was strong, brave, and kept fighting even on the hardest days.

Tomorrow marks the anniversary of the day before we lost him, just 3 days after surgery. Some days it still feels unreal, and the hurt never fully goes away. But through all these years, God has carried us through the pain, the questions, and the grief.

I may never understand why things happened the way they did, but I do know God has stayed close to us in every broken moment. Our son taught us so much about strength, love, and faith without ever even trying.

If you’re going through something hard right now, keep holding onto God. Even when life doesn’t make sense, He’s still there. Keep praying, keep believing, and keep going.

We miss you every single day, sweet boy. Until we see you again. 🤍

Eleven days ago, we celebrated your birthday the way we always do — with cake, memories, love, and hearts that still miss you more than words can say. Even after five years, your birthday still stops time for us. It’s a day filled with so much love, but also a grief that people don’t often talk about.
No one really prepares you for the pain of celebrating the birthday of someone you’ve lost. People talk about grief after loss, but not about the ache that comes when their special day comes around each year. The way you still feel the need to celebrate them. To buy the cake, light the candles, share the memories, and say their name out loud because they are still so deeply loved.
This year would have been your eighth birthday, and not a single day passes where you aren’t thought about, missed, and carried in our hearts. We celebrate you because you mattered then, and you still matter now. Love doesn’t stop just because someone is no longer physically here.
Grief and love live side by side on birthdays like yours. There’s joy in remembering you, pain in missing you, and a quiet heartbreak in imagining what should have been. But we will always celebrate you, always honor you, and always speak your name.
Happy heavenly birthday, sweet boy. You are forever loved, forever missed, and forever part of us. 💙

Luke thought loud noses were so funny. Things that made him jump just tickled him. Haha
We miss him every single day. I can’t believe he would have been 8 years old today!

I know it’s been a little while since I’ve shown up on here 💛

The last time I posted, I shared that going through Luke’s videos again was affecting me more than I expected… and I needed to take a step back.

Since then, I’ve really been sitting with God, asking Him to shape me and prepare me for whatever He has next and I feel like I’m slowly being led back here.

I’ll be honest, I’ve gone back and forth on this a lot.

Not because I don’t want to sit with people… but because my heart has been a little scared to open up in this way again. It’s not even about telling my own story. it’s the weight of hearing others and walking through that heartbreak alongside them.

But I also can’t ignore the pull I feel.

So I’m taking a step forward, even if it’s small.

I want to start opening up space for conversations—whether that’s small group Zoom calls or one-on-one coaching sessions for anyone who feels like they just need someone to sit with them in whatever they’re carrying.

Nothing formal. Nothing overwhelming. Just real, honest conversations.

If that’s something you’d be interested in, you can comment a 💛or message me privately.

No pressure at all—just putting this out there and trusting God with the rest 💛

(Doing a 💛because it has multiple meanings in our family. 🥰)

Wow… I learned something I didn’t even see coming.
I truly didn’t realize how much posting daily about my son was affecting me. The crazy part? I didn’t feel sad. I didn’t feel overwhelmed. I thought I was handling it just fine.
But my body was telling a different story.
After I started sharing more consistently again, I began noticing physical changes. Everything checked out fine medically, but when I stepped back and looked at the timing, I realized my body had responded to the weight of revisiting everything — even though I felt “okay.”
When I took a short break, things regulated again. And it opened my eyes.
Grief isn’t always tears.
It isn’t always obvious.
Sometimes it lives quietly in the body.
God designed us so intricately. Just because we’re strong and trust Him doesn’t mean we don’t still need rest and care.
Still learning. Still trusting. Still healing.

Luke was doing so good with working on sitting up by himself! I was so proud of him!
This was February 22,2021, just a couple months before his last surgery. :(
Miss him always!
