On May 26th, 2013 our perfect angel, Easton Holbrook Whipple, returned to our Heavenly Father after being here for a short 22 months. I have started this blog so family, friends, acquaintances, and strangers can all follow along as our family learns, grows, and is strengthened during our journey to recovery and healing. We hope that many will benefit from hearing our emotions, testimonies, and feel the love of the Savior for each one of us as we face our own personal trials.

Our loss is Heaven's gain
On Sunday, May 26th, 2013, our family was spending the evening together at my husbands parents home when our 22 month old got out the back door without us knowing. My in laws have a bayou and slough in their back yard, so immediately we began searching the water. After family, neighbors, and rescue responders searched for nearly an hour, our precious Easton was pulled from the muddy water. Despite the efforts of many trying to save him, Easton was taken home to our Heavenly Father. I hope to use this blog for others to read and follow our family on our journey to recovering from this traumatic loss in our family. Easton was a ray of sunshine to all those he came in contact with. Our family is not the same without him. He joined our family on July 14, 2011 and added so much joy and love. He left our family temporarily on May 26, 2013 until we meet again. He has left our family with many happy memories and a new found understanding of love and desire to live a life that will draw us closer to our Father in Heaven and Savior. Over the next few days I hope to post many journal entries to get caught up to date as I learn to use this blogspot I hope that our experiences and testimonies will be a help and a testimony to others that may be struggling with trials and trauma in their own lives.
