Broken

This is one post no parent could ever feel "inspired" to write. We are heartbroken and shattered. On February 2nd, 2015 our sweet sunshine boy went to be with Jesus. We take comfort in knowing he is fully healed in a way that could never happen here on Earth and in knowing that one day we will hold him again in Heaven. But the hurt that pierces our souls while we await that day is beyond words. We are forever changed by having him in our lives and we will never forget him. He taught us about love and complete joy. 

In memory of our beloved son, Timothy. We would do it all again for 16 months with you.

Working hard in that stander with his favorite book. He LOVED things with velcro. 

What a big boy! He had grown 5" and gained 12 pounds in the time he was with us.  (December 2014)

Oh that smile


Just one day after turning 4 he took his FIRST nap on daddy. What a gift. The day before he drank his first bottle given by daddy as well. God is so good to give my husband these priceless gifts before taking our baby home. (Jan 2015)


There is not a second that goes by that I don't miss you, little man. Your silly sense of humor, laughing hysterically at Peep & the Big Wide World episodes, and getting so excited about doors that open and pages that turn.  The snuggles. The radiant smiles as you responded to us signing with you and you knew what we meant. Oh how you changed from that vacant little boy we met in Ukraine to the joyous life filled boy that we miss so dearly.
