We don’t often find ourselves in the spotlight, but we were recently humbled—and deeply honored—to be featured on the cover of Triangle Family Magazine. The article, titled “A Family Renewed,” tells a story that’s close to our hearts: a journey marked by joys and sorrows, by God’s grace that carried us through the most challenging seasons, and by the blessing of family bonds that have grown stronger over time.
For us, family has always been at the center of everything. Over the years, we’ve experienced the deep joys of welcoming children, grandchildren, and the shared laughter around our table. We’ve also walked through profound loss and heartache, like the unexpected passing of our daughter, Laura Anne, and the challenges of navigating adoption and special needs. Yet through every high and low, we’ve been reminded that love—the kind that shows up, even in the hardest seasons—can renew and restore.
Our story is not one of perfection but of grace and commitment to one another. We hope it offers encouragement to those who may be walking through difficult seasons of their own.
If you’d like to read more about our journey, we invite you to explore the full article in Triangle Family Magazine.
