April

Shortly after my birthday, my family and I had some very sad events happen. My brother and his sweet wife had their baby boy Ivan about 4 months early. It happened very quickly and was of course incredible unexpected. He passed away a few days later. It has been a difficult time for our family and most of all my brother and his wife. Most of the feelings and experiences I've had I feel are too personal to share on this blog but I did find a lot of comfort in this talk by Joseph B. Withlin.
