I am so happy to post this! A few weeks ago, a sweet girl, whom at the time I had never met, sent me a message on facebook. She and I have a few mutual friends, and through them, she heard about our journey with our sweet Caroline, and read our blog. Her name is Emily, and she is a fantastic artist! She can paint anything! After hearing about our story, she felt led to create a piece of art in memory of Caroline. It is a beautiful cross with vibrant colors, that represent our family, Caroline, our love for each other and God, and most of all God's love for us. We absolutely love it! Rhett and I are so thankful for amazing people like her, that have touched us by sweet acts of kindness during the difficult road that we have been travelling. She was so very sweet to let us have the first cross she made, and it now hangs in our home. It is a constant reminder of how God has used/is using our precious little girl, and her brief, but very important life.
Another amazing thing about this is how it can benefit Eagle's Nest; the orphanage that cared for Wesley in Guatemala. Emily will paint crosses for anyone that wants to purchase one, and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Eagle's Nest! Once again, God is just revealing His mighty love for us, our family, and His perfect plan for our lives. We will always miss our baby girl , and long for her to be here with us, but we are overjoyed at the wonderful ways she has affected so many people! How awesome it is that our Caroline's life, will help the sweet children living in Guatemala! God is so good......ALL OF THE TIME!

Thanks so much to all of you who are still reading our blog and praying for our family. Rhett said it perfectly: There has been an awful storm in our family, lots of dark, rainy, stormy weather. The storm is over, the rain has stopped, and the sun is shining through more and more every day. There are still cloudy times, but we are seeing so much more sun now!! We are praising God for the bright sun He is giving us, and for the many ways He continues to bless us!
I have been following your story and praying for all of you. I am a friend of Emily's and I cannot even begin to tell you how big the heart is inside that little body of hers! She is truly one of God's angels on Earth! Blessings to all of you and our prayers will continue!
