- Love for the Loney Family

Last week, Ethan Loney lost his fight with cancer. Although I never met Ethan or his family in real life, I felt so connected to them through Supah's updates and and all the prayers we have shared for them. She asked us to release a white balloon in his memory this week. I wasn't able to get a balloon, but as I was praying for the family this week, I made one....

Ethan, in your two years here on this earth, you touched hearts all across the country.  I will be praying for your family.

Please remember Ethan's family this week, and also little Jaden, Ethan's friend who is fighting the same cancer right now.

  8. Such an amazingly simple, but powerful post. You're right. The connections that we form via the Internet can be so very meaningful. I have been keeping Ethan in my thoughts and prayers as well.
