The Empty Seat.

17 months since our last family vacation. So, so needed. Been having having a hard time feeling grateful this season but trying. That empty seat is really loud.

Thankful for a brand new place to travel to. Thankful to be able to go spend time with family. Thankful for these boys in my life, including Sean.

I Will Not Stop.

I received this "letter", a couple of days ago from someone I went to church with growing up. Her story encouraged me and was greatly appreciated. I love you Caleb. I will never stop telling your story!

"I woke up this morning to the name Sean Zwiernikowski on my mind and heavy on my heart. Honestly I have not thought of you in probably 25 or more years. At first I just took it as a spirit prompt to pray for you. But as I began to pray and the more I prayed the weight on my spirit became so heavy. I began a search for you that took nearly an hour because I couldn't remember how to spell your name. 

Then I found you on Facebook which lead me to Caleb's story and I spent the next hour reading Asa's posting on her timeline. I was so deeply shaken. All day I have been deeply grieved. I realized I have a daughter that could very well be Caleb. My whole day was spent in prayer for your family and for mine. and tonight while we were all gathered and before we headed off to bed or different things I shared Caleb's story and we talked about us, what's really going on, about choices and our actions and words impact us and others and our hurts and brokenness. 

All of us talked, even my daughters, and all of us heard. We ended with a very meaningful time of prayer, praying for your family, boys, and Caleb's friends as well. I just felt like I needed to tell you that. and to thank you. Thank you for sharing your story and making me aware and giving me the chance to really speak and maybe intervene in the lives of my daughters before it's too late."
