This book is raw and honest and beautiful and painful and I couldn’t stop reading the words

This book is raw and honest and beautiful and painful and I couldn’t stop reading the words. I felt like I could hear the cries and feel the aches of this family six years later in my living room. Andrew & Christy fiercely share the journey of the first year without their firstborn son, Brave. As I was reading, my son, who is 3 months older than Brave, brought me a drawing he had made of a castle. I couldn’t stop weeping thinking of how their son should be doing the same thing. The words that fill these pages will be healing to so many families mourning the loss of a child and for those walking alongside grieving people in their community.
