Bittersweet

I brought a home video to the hospital tonight for Ian to watch. The first thing on screen when I turned it on in his room was a banner that said “Happy 6th Birthday Ian.” It was bittersweet to watch- it was so cool to see him and all of his little friends who have now become such godly men and are still in his life- and let’s be honest, the early 90s hairstyles and clothes were fantastic. But it also reminded me that he could do more at six years old than he can do now. But fortunately we are blessed to serve a God who, if He wills it, can bring Ian back to us exactly how he was five months ago- as that man after God’s own heart. I’m praying that he’s back to himself by the time he turns 22.

So I’m watching videos and sitting beside Ian’s bed while he sleeps, but tonight my heart is here, with this little girl:
