Our family celebrated Josh's 42nd birthday in different ways and in different locations this year as we each continued our grief journey together and apart. I celebrated this hard but beautiful day with some dear friends in Dallas who attended seminary with us. It was a wonderful evening.
As the final post on this Journey with Josh blog, it seems strangely fitting that this is the 42nd post on what would be his 42nd birthday Within grief, each day is an adventure of its own and there is no perfect way to grieve. My desire is to continue to share honestly the highs and lows of this next chapter. I will continue to write and share my heart on the grieving on page (or site). Thank you for following this hard and hopeful journey.

I am not sure what I am doing here. People keep asking the same question. If not here, then where should we all be? If every place or every corner of the world is covered in filth and everything you see is counterfeit and lacking of real value then I guess it's safe to say that maybe we are all in a very different place from where each of us long to be. I have heard of people who seem to be content with whatever is in front of them and sometimes I think maybe they are luckier. Leave a Reply. |
About UsIn April of 2019, we learned that Josh had a large brain tumor, a glioblastoma, in the middle of his brain. At the age of 41, this was quite the surprise. Josh sadly passed away after a short battle on September 30, 2019.
View his obituary These past months, we've navigated the complexities of treatment, and hospice care and learned that there wasn't really treatment and that in Josh's case, the tumor was inoperable. We're sharing our hearts and experience as we navigate this unexpected turn and God's goodness in the middle of it. We hope to encourage others by sharing our story. Thank you for following along with our journey even in grief. Feel free to message us. If you'd like to donate to medical expenses, here's a link or you can email us questions Previous posts
