I often think about the first time I held you in my arms. In my mind, memories are filled with your unseasonable sense of purpose, honor, duty and dedication to serving God.

My precious son, I can still feel your heartbeat, hear your son, and see your glimmer in the darkness of the evening sky. Today and always, I carry you in my heart.
