Remembering Sweet Natnael

It was four years ago this week, January 14, to be exact, that Courtney called with the sad news that our grandsom, Natnael would not be coming home as we had all planned.
He died in the care center and was now home with his Heavenly Father.
Courtney and Paul had just returned from Ethiopia where they had met, played with, and loved on their son, Natnael.

I remember that phone call as if it were yesterday.
It will forever be ingrained in my mind.
What do you say to a daughter who has just called with that devastating news especially knowing how long Courtney and Paul had waited and prayed for their son.
John and I had never met him, but that didn't matter, we had loved him from the first day we saw his adoption photo six months before this.
He was already a part of our lives.
Then, all of a sudden, he was gone along with all the dreams we had for him.
We look forward to the day when we will see Natnael again.
He will never be forgotten.
He is forever, our little grandson.

In other news, the Packers did indeed win yesterday so now we wait until Saturday when they meet the Arizona Cardinals.
Go Pack Go!
