While we fiercely miss our son and the uniquely special way he completed our family, this website is not just about remembering him. As much as we desire to honor Mason, because, let’s face it, he was a pretty fantastic kid, our deepest desire is to honor God.
This is not just a story about Mason, but a much bigger story of what God has done through our pain.
This past year has been the most difficult of our lives. And yet through it all… through the unexpected death, the sudden loss, the intense pain, the never-ending sorrow and crippling grief, we have seen God in such beautiful and profound ways. So while we honor Mason and the precious blessing he was to us, we ultimately want to honor a sovereign God who first chose to gift us with 6 years and 18 days with Mason, and then has never left us as we navigate life without him.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.
We believe God works the good in all things. And so we choose to say thank you, God, for your victory over death. Thank you Jesus, for holding our son in your arms when we cannot.
Thank you for hope.
This valley has been dark, and it has been scary. But God has been real and his promises are true. We recognize our purpose in this life and the purpose of Mason’s death. And while this life is so temporary we pray that God continues to use Mason’s story to reveal the hope he offers for all eternity.
Because we have seen him move in our pain and in our lives so profoundly, we choose to honor the story he is writing with Mason and want to share the good He is doing through all things, especially the intense pain of losing a child.
