Cooper Knight

While Tucker has been his usual happy self lately, I have been carrying around a heavy heart. On Thursday night, Cooper Knight passed away at home, surrounded by his parents and three older siblings. His family knew he did not have a long time left on earth, Cooper has fought so hard in his four years. His parents exhausted every option to keep him healthy, including taking him across the country for an intestinal transplant. In the end, his mitochondrial disease was too severe for any of the treatments to help. Cooper's family had their Make A Wish trip a week after ours, and they had the best time. I have never met little Cooper, but I know he was Samuel's good buddy (same last name, but they aren't related by blood). So now Cooper and Samuel are together in heaven, eating lots of ice cream and having a blast. Please continue to pray for all families who have to say good-bye to their babies. While it hurts a parent's heart to watch their baby struggle in pain on earth, I can't imagine the pain of letting them go onto eternal peace while having to stay behind.
