He has taught me so much in just a few, short years: how to be more compassionate, understanding, and caring; how to be joyful in the face of hardship; and much more. Since meeting Gracen I am a better person.

At 13 I didn't think I was going to experience having any siblings and was fine with that. Although it was tough, Gracen is one of the best things to happen to our family.

I thank God every day for picking me to be Gracen’s Dad and for the awesome privilege of getting to help other families through our journey.

No matter what, he is my baby boy and nothing changes that. I will live every day learning, helping, watching, hugging, laughing, sometimes probably crying and loving Gracen, my son.
