This is real. This is our family. We are a typical family, just like any other, but our family time just looks a little different. We still have movie night. We still go for ice cream. But we also go visit our beautiful girl. We love having picnics with Madelyn, feeling the sun and breeze, and just being with her, in the best way we can. These sweet boys love her and miss her just as much as mommy and daddy do. They talk about her just as much as we do, and clap for joy when we arrive. They hug her flowers and, in the words of Caleb, “blow kisses up to heaven.” They pray with me in the most precious way, quiet and calm, as if they are listening for her voice. They are such wonderful big brothers.
