Half Birthday

Today, like every July 4th, the first thing I think of is your half-birthday, Adessa. Exactly eight-and-a-half years ago you were born. I think about you every day but the ache of missing you is especially acute today. I'm so grateful for the years I had with you and choose to dwell on that rather than what I've missed. 

We pray every day for you - that the Lord would bless you, protect you, and bring you back. We pray believing in the miracle of restoration. We're honored to lift you up each day. We miss you - I miss you - and believe that one day we will have a chance to tell you these things face-to-face, because truth overcomes lies and love is stronger than hate.

I love you with all my heart and I always will. 

Daddy
