More Questions Than Answers

This past Tuesday, October 11th, our dear friends Emily and Scott lost their 22 month old son, Logan. Our hearts are broken for them, our faith has been tested and we are all left with more questions than answers. How could he pass away so suddenly? Why them? How does a God so great let these things happen? Especially to new parents, the SWEETEST parents, Emily and Scott who have waited nearly a decade to be blessed with a family. Since we were brought together by Father Clay through a Life Group at Church just over a year ago, Beau and I have been lucky enough to see the Garretts go from a sweet couple who so badly wanted children to a family of four when the twins came into their lives just 6 short months ago. Since then, we have seen them be the loving parents that we knew they were meant to be. 


This week has been one of the toughest of our lives leaving us feeling utterly helpless, lacking for words and with a huge hole in our hearts for them. I have had a chance to see the Garretts several times this week - they are strong but lost, if that makes any sense. Emily put it so well when she said that she knows that she is closer to God as a result of Logan's sweet nature and love in her heart. I know Logan's sister Olivia's smiles keep them strong - she's simply too young to understand what is going on. No doubt she faces a difficult road ahead. I don't think anyone understands what one twin feels without the other.


It hit me so hard this week that we can lose someone so fast, maybe not even get to say goodbye, and this terrifies me. Kiss your babies, hug your parents and siblings and love on your friends. 


Love to all from the Reynolds!

We were just with these precious babies on Saturday for the Texas game.

I already posted these pictures but I can't stop looking at them.
