For Zeke, on what would have been his ninth birthday.
I once had two sons,
but now I have one.
The other, my brother;
my wife, his mother.
I lay by his side
the night that he died,
and whispered to mother,
My son, my brother.
Thank you for this post. Your blog was and is a unique source of encouragement for me as a father of a son diagnosed with a lifelong disease. The bond of looking forward to when Christ makes all things new while walking through something like this…I thank Jesus for your life and Zeke’s life. I thank Jesus for the beautiful life that he lived and gives to us even when the grief of the present circumstances is thick. Longing for Jesus to make all of the sad things right.
