Hook Up from Heaven
Our family was amazed and blessed by all the people that came to pay respect to our son Connor, three weeks ago today. I miss Connor’s smile. His happy, silly, clever and sarcastic voice. His bear hugs that he gave freely. I am praying everyday that our loss can be turned into a positive! Our family has now gained two children from adoption and lost a child to an accident. I am praying my words, through God, will help others from the experiences our family has had to bring more people to know Christ. It is HIS gift of peace that I have in my heart. I am a weak sinner, all glory to Him. I pray and He answers. He does not always give us the answer we would like. I believe with all my heart that His plan is perfect. Connor was a gift, just as all children are. On his 18th birthday he planned to permanently write his conviction on his body via tattoo with or without me. I chose to help him. We designed it together. His sister Claire and friend Olivia went along for support, or to laugh as he endured! He lived by his words…”He gave you life, don’t waste it!” He would want you to do the same.
“I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.” Psalms 27:13
2 Corinthians 1:3, “Praise be to God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion & the God of ALL comfort , who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”
Your loss has already touched so many hearts & I know beyond the shadow of a doubt Connor’s life will continue to be a blessing for all eternity. I thought I spied a tat in one of the pictures I saw. Im glad you shared a close-up of it. Very cool!! Love you a bunch, Karen
