Angel Madilynn




Today marks the 4th anniversary of our angel Madilynn Marie Buntrock's birth date. We try to celebrate it every year by doing something special as a family. So tonight we took the boys to visit her grave site at Parklawn. We brought cupcakes and 4 purple balloons. When we released the balloons we prayed for 4 things:

  • That our boys would grow up to be healthy, strong, Christian men
  • That the Lord would guide our path as parents
  • Casey prayed for his cupcake:)
  • For the future of our family
Here is a picture from our time as a family honoring Madi's memory.

This day always is a day of reflection for me. It is funny how the whole ordeal is engraved in my memory like it was yesterday. But yet I look at how much we have been blessed since our loss. I will never regret carrying Madi in my womb for 5 short months. Her little life has been the source of many blessings.

The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord. -Job 1:21
