• Thank you all for continuing to keep us in your prayers.

  The days and nights are sometimes hard. Tears come in floods without
  permission and the feelings of disbelief come in waves, as well. 
  The weight of our sorrow sometimes feels too heavy to bear but God's
  loving arms never leave us. We are constantly comforted knowing He
  understands our pain and seeks to tenderly bind up our broken hearts.

  We are reminded everyday that our son meant so much to so many people
  ... and to our country, he is a hero. It is a great comfort to a
  parent's heart to know that your child made a difference in the lives
  of others. Even though our wounds are raw right now, we know that a
  time will come when we'll be able to focus completely on the amazing man
  that our baby boy turned out to be.

  We will leave South Carolina tomorrow to begin some traveling. We will
  take a week in Orlando, Florida and then head to Texas by way of
  Alabama and Arkansas. We look forward to leaning on some special
  friends along the way and then spending some healing time with our
  incredible sponsoring congregation in Granbury.

  Please continue to petition God on our behalf. Pains such as this do
  not heal quickly but we are confident that God is the only avenue to
  the peace and comfort we desire.

  We love you all,

  Brandi, Penny and Kayli
