Dear Friends,
You probably know by now that we have been walking through the loss of our 23-year-old son, Tim, who passed away on Saturday, June 11. You are welcome to read some of our reflections and experiences during this time at our travel blog.
I found it beneficial to share some thoughts on "Saying YES to Grief and NO to Shame" as well as reflections on our family memorial. This memorial was one of the most difficult things I have been through while also being one of the most powerful experiences in my life.
Brooks and I just want to express our heartfelt thanks as we have been so strengthened by the wonderful expressions of sympathy, compassion, and love. The way you, our friends, continue to surround us is an incredible support during this time. Our grief is very poignant, as is our confidence that Tim is now at peace and awaiting our own homegoing in God’s time.
We feel privileged to have you in our life during this season.
Thank you!
At the same time, our responsibility and desire to help others does not rest.
You continue to join with us to meet essential needs and we have so much that we want to share from last month’s trip.
But, for today, the critical need is to sponsor 8 more children in Bikeke, Kenya, providing them with food and education.
Last year you helped us buy land and provide the first structures. The property has been handled wonderfully and the school is functioning with high marks.
BUT, we want to make sure that every vulnerable child has a meal everyday and the tuition needed for his/her education.
You can sponsor a child’s food and education right now by going to: www.appleseedchildren.com.
Love & Gratitude,
Roger & Brooks
