Yesterday we went to the funeral home around 11:00 to view Daddy Ken's body before the visitation. We tried to prepare Brody for the fact that Daddy Ken would look like he was sleeping when we got there. We talked about how Daddy Ken is in Heaven now with Jesus...but I know Brody doesn't understand.
When we walked in Brody said, "Shhh. Daddy Ken sleepin'." Everyone was in tears when we saw him. Brody didn't like the fact that everyone was sad. He went and got a klenex and started wiping the tears from my eyes while saying, "Mommy sad?"
After awhile I think he started getting a little impatient about the fact that Daddy Ken was still "sleeping". I was holding him standing by the casket and Brody wanted to "touch him". So I let Brody hold Daddy Ken's hand. Then Brody started saying, "Get up! Get up! Get up Daddy Ken! Get up!" It made me think of the times in the Bible that Jesus raised people from the dead. Can you imagine how awesome it would have been to be there and see him perform the miracle of bringing someone back to life?!?
Here is a link to the obituary on the funeral home's website. The funeral is today at 1:00 pm. Please continue to pray for peace for the family and that the funeral will glorify our Lord and Savior.

My prayers are with your entire family.
Brody brought a little piece of sunshine inside. He is so innocent, and he does such sweet things. Thank you, Mike and Staci, for having such a wonderful little boy. In such sorrow, he brought smiles to our faces.
