who is overwhelmed with sadness today. Brett(9) broke down today and sobbed with grief (first time) over the loss of his brother.. His third brother.. this time so real because he sees the pictures of us holding him. He has walked in on me sobbing and turns right back around. He has really hidden behind the piano and Legos to cover his pain. I am overcome with sadness for him especially. He was so filled with hope this time as I got bigger and bigger for us to bring a brother home.

Oh Emily....oh, my heart breaks for little Brett, I can imagine his great hopefullness through it all, so hard for a little chap to have that not come to the realisation he had hoped for..the little brother he would have cherished. Praying to Matthew for your Brett, Emily.

Prayers, Em. I'm so sorry Brett is having such a hard time today. We will offer our family prayers tonight for the healing of his tender heart.
