Though we have never met I am saddened for you and have been praying for you. Know that even when words fail you God hears your prayers.
Romans 8:26
“…the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. “

Sean, Monica, G & G: I am so sorry. I pray that God will comfort you as your hearts ache for sweet little Evan and that He’ll renew your strength each day.
All my love, Kerry W.
The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases
the power of the weak. Even youth grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they
will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. -Isaiah 40:28-31

Hey Monica, we only met one time at Memeroyvilla, but I hurt for you so much. as I looked at the pictures on your blog I knew excatly what room youwere in, Kasey was in the next room during his transplant. I know excatly what it is like to live there, I am so sorry for your earthly hearts right now, but I am so thankful your faith and hope lies in Heaven. I am thankful to hear about the love and support that you will have during this horrible time. I just can’t imaigine how people go through this without Christ. Evan will be a testimony for years and years to come, and what a precious testimony he is. I questioned God so much during our ordeal and still do at times, I with my earthly brain cannot comprehend such things but my heart in Chirst Jesus somehow did. I pray for your hearts to have that peace, even though your brains cannot contain it, I pray for your hearts peace. With all the feelings that I cannot put into words,please know that you are lifted up to the Most High with all that HE can see in my heart.

Sean and Monica,
So few of us can truly understand your heartbreak. Shannon, Paige, Stephen and I are praying for you two and Gracie and Garrett. We won’t know on this side of Heaven why the Lord allowed Evan only a few days here but we know, through His Grace, that you will hold him for an eternity in Heaven. We are praying for His comfort and peace for you.
Rev. 21:4 And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes: there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.

There are not a whole lot of words that can help right now I know. There will be another day that we can all look forward to when we can meet up with our loved ones in eternity. We will have much more time to spend with Evan in that eternal state, but I know that it hurts right now. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

May God surround you with people to comfort you. I know how sickening and overwhelming it is to lose a child early – something no parent should ever have to experience. My prayers are with you to fill you up and carry you.
