Today my nephew Travis lost his 3-year-old son, Carson... to a horrible cancer that ravaged his beautiful baby boy's body...

My nephew's wife, Nikki, is pregnant... they also have a rumbustious and darling little girl named Ainsley who is a year and a half old.

Needless to say, Nikki and Travis' hearts are sadly broken...their firstborn died in their arms today.

Carson fought hard in his short-lived life...Daily...his mommy and daddy who are wonderful parents also fought a hard fight ... desperately searching out a healing for their young son...they even traveled to another state to get the best possible doctors care for him...but sadly, this cancer was not going to be defeated.

At times like this, it is easy to become angry with God...why would he allow such a horrible thing to happen to such a precious, innocent little boy who has not even begun to live life!?!

We all know that sometimes life can feel so cruel...like our God is a heartless God...but maybe, just maybe life is happening and unfolding exactly as it is supposed to.

What I have learned about life, especially when things feel catastrophic...like dealing with a death of a loved one, which can literally take your breath away and make you feel like you're losing your mind from sadness...like you're actually drowning in pain. In moments like this...

you must hang on to your Faith...and know that...

With the passing of time...healing will begin and when you are able to look back with clear eyes... it just may feel like life needed to happen the way it did...and an understanding of Gods plans for your life played out exactly as they should have...

When you have Faith in a higher power...I believe there are times in life that Do Not make sense, such as today with the untimely death of this precious little 3-year-old boy named Carson...

But if we hold tight to our Faith...if we keep on pushing, keep praying for strength from God...from his mighty Angels...from our Spirit guides in Jesus' name...God will deliver us the strength and power needed to make it through anything...

My sister Kelly who is Carson's grandma...is feeling absolutely crushed...she lost one of her 3 sons, Shawn... almost 4 years ago and now her grandson...

Kelly cried tonight while sharing with me...

Seeing her son carry his son's tiny, lifeless body out to the coroner's vehicle...will unfortunately be engraved in her mind forever.

My heart aches for my sister too, yet my Faith in God assures me that all will be well in time...

I know Carson's spirit is alive and well in Heaven...and there was a reason for his life...honestly it is the suffering he had to endure while he was here that I cannot understand. Gods' ways are always good, mysterious yet maddening at the same time...

I pray for his mommy and daddy that they find peace in their hearts and minds...I know they will...that is, of course in time and after the tears flow less often...

I sincerely pray for this new baby they have coming... God please Bless them with a healthy boy...yes, they are having a boy...

and when he gets older, they can tell him about his heroic big brother named Carson...

Choose Faith...and Always Love...
