Journal entry by Melina Funk —
“Oh the power to be strong
And the wisdom to be wise
All these things will come to you in time.. Some day you'll walk tall with pride
Son of man, a man in time you'll be...
With faith and understanding
You will journey from boy to man”
Emmett, your story has been long, difficult, scary, beautiful, joyous, and a story of God’s miracles. From 1 lb 8 oz to the big, strong boy you are today, you have been strong and happy through it all. A trip to Seattle, a heart procedure, feeding tubes, breathing tubes, and a helmet, not one of these things has dulled your smile, and boy is it a beautiful one. We are so grateful God gave us you. You make us better every day. Happy One Year, ERF.
Thank you to all of you that have supported us, prayed with us, and loved on us this year and for the years to come. We love you.
As always, God is Good and Emmett is Strong
