Who would have thought that the little yellow baby with tubes everywhere, a swollen belly, and a life sentence of 1 year, would make it to his 19th birthday. He is now preparing to serve the Lord for 2 years!!! I know that he has already completed one mission on earth by helping our family in many ways.
I have spent a good week reflecting on my memories of my brother. I have come across a few blogs documenting the special pregnancies of special women. I couldn't help but to have memories come flooding back to me of my brother. I was only in the 1st grade when I had to experience this trial but I remember a lot about it.
My mom kept a journal for the first few years of Kelton's life. I have been reading them and just crying. I have my own memories of the events but to read everything my parents experienced, the fears, the triumphs, the failures, and the way their testimonies were strengthened brings new light to this life endeavor. To think that my mom was only a year older than I am now just amazes me at how strong she was.
We love you so much Kelton. You are our comedian, our IT guy, our rock, our everything!!!!
