Brighton Asher

Written by Tymm at 11:52 PM

Brighton would have been a year old today.

I think about what this year has brought us - the ups - the downs - the pain - the hurt - the joy - the happiness. It's been a roller coaster.

We are thankful to God for every single thing He has opened our eyes to - every single thing He has had us experience. Throughout this process and its moments - every up and down - every unknown, fear and concern - every praise and joy - our relationship and trust in God has grown tenfold.

And we are so thankful...

Listen to the lyrics in the song below. It took me a couple of months to be able to listen to this song after Brighton went home - but they speak to our hearts and do a great job of conveying exactly how we feel.

We miss you Brighton. We'll hold you at some point son...

What a beautiful tribute to such a sweet baby boy who has a part in the story of God bigger than his little body and parents who have hearts bigger than their pain who will use this for God's greater good. Brighton was here for a reason and you get that... amazing!

That is beautiful, as I imagine Brighton's Birthday was for him in heaven. He was blessed to have you as parents, as you were blessed to have him as your son.

I must have picked up on your adoption story after this... I had no idea a sweet boy named Brighton was a part of your story. I loved the video.. What a sweet little boy!
