Yesterday we had the graveside service and it was very different than I thought it would be. It was just our close family members. I don't know why, but I couldn't cry. I kind of felt like there was something wrong with me. What mom wouldn't be sobbing? But I just felt so numb. Plus it was weird to be laying our baby to rest when the sun was shining and everything else felt so . . . alive.
I have been meaning to thank everyone who has left a comment on the recent posts. It is really comforting to go back and read them. Even people who I don't know who have left comments; it's so nice to hear from you.
We've made it through one more day.

Kimberly,
Words cannot express the love and respect I feel for you. In the last two weeks I have seen in you an inner strength and a love for our Lord way beyond what I have seen in most people in my lifetime. Your life has always complimented Ethan's and in this difficult time I have seen your strength perfectly compliment his. I am so greatful that your parents, by their example, lead you to faith in our Lord. And I am so blessed that you married my son and became my daughter. I love you,
Dad
Kimberly, it was a beautiful service. You and Ethans faith is obvious and God is being glorified through your suffering as you trust in Him. You are a precious Mamma to four beautiful children. I'm praying Ps.145:14 that the Lord will hold you 145:18 that the Lord will draw near to you and Ps. 147:3 that the Lord heals your broken heart and binds up your wounds. I pray you are able to rest. Dear sweet Sister in Christ, may the God of hope fill you with all comfort and peace as you trust in Him in the coming hours, days, weeks and months ahead.I'm available if you need anything please call, With much love, darci
My heart is completely captured and touched by this photograph, Kimberly. It speaks so much -
Words escape me. I'm just so so sorry you guys are having to go through this and will continue to hold you up in my prayers.
That picture breaks my heart. I wish you didn't have to endure this. You have been through so much physically, emotionally and spiritually. You already know this but you have so many people approaching the throne for you and your family daily. One day your mourning will be turned into dancing. Until then we are all here to help you through it.
It was a beautiful service. You and your family will continue to be in my prayers. Love you!
I echo the words of those before me. Your family is surrounded in love and covered in prayer.
It was a beautiful memorial service & I am deeply touched @ how you have both authentically showed yourselves in this time. I remember the heartache we shared togethor when the Perfects were taken from us & I am sharing the same heartache w/you in this time. Love You Guys!
It was such a beautiful memeorial service. Seeing the faith you and Ethan have shown has been amazing. So encouraging. Thanks for allowing us to be there to remember sweet little Isaac with you. I was moved to tears. We will continue to lift you up in our prayers for the days and months to come. We love you!
I visit your blog from time to time and was very sad to see your recent posts today. Since we don't attend Broadway, I had no idea about your terrible news until I saw the posts today. I don't have the right words to tell you how I feel when I see these beautiful pictures. You are an amazing woman and I just want you to know that you have a secret blog friend who is praying earnestly for the healing of your family.
Your Sister in Christ,
Candace
