This is the first year I cannot say Happy Birthday to my grandpa (he would have been 90 today.) I lost him a few hours after giving birth to my second baby, Kayden. Everyone who knew us, knew that I was grandpa’s girl. I miss him dearly.

I will be spending my day driving the 6+ hours from Arkansas to Omaha for Ethan’s procedure. This is the first solo trip we are making since my husband has to work, and it’s the first time I will be so far away from Ethan’s baby brother.

I dislike changes, and although they are pretty spontaneous and frequent now with Ethan’s health journey, they never get easier to accept. Please pray for a smooth procedure, for the team and doctors who will be performing the procedure and for our family to continue finding strength when we feel like we have nothing left to give.
