"I don't know exactly what the future holds, and that uncertainty is incredibly hard. But even in the midst of heartbreak and grief, I know God is still good."
"More than ever, I've realized how important it is who you marry and choose to walk through life with. Life is hard in so many different ways. I truly can't imagine getting through this without my rock and best friend, Dalton Risner."
"This loss has introduced me to a depth of pain and heartbreak that I never knew existed. It feels like I've lost so much... our precious baby boy, pieces of myself, and the future I had planned out for the past 4 months."
