Jesus, Will you hold Your precious Silas in the palm of Your lovely hand and will you keep him safe and make him whole. Protect his body and guide his care givers as he heals. Be very present with his Mommy and family as they walk through this season of recovery without Derek. Fill in all the empty spaces with Your beautiful love and presence. Hope it went well, ‘Ne!

Dearest Renee

I will absolutely be praying for your sweet angel boy.

I looked for a contact e-mail but could not find one, so I’ll just write to you here
I cannot even begin to imagine the pain of your loss. I have wept through every single one of your posts. I know your sweet Jesus is carrying you daily.

Last summer we committed to adopting a little girl off the RR site. At four years old she weighed only about 15 pounds. We KNEW we had to rescue her. But there was another little angel in the same orphanage who pulled on our heart-strings. The thought of bringing home TWO children with DS terrified us. We already have 5 children at home, two with special needs.

In January we sat at our computer sobbing, watching your precious hubby’s memorial service. I cannot even begin to tell you how deeply our hearts were touched. It was in those moments that the Father whispered to our hearts about adding the second little girl. We knew that we knew that He was using Derek’s legacy to inspire us to do what seemed like an impossible thing.

A few days later we called Andrea and added another blessing to our adoption.

I have spent the last four weeks in the Ukraine adopting our girls. TWO girls. Oh my goodness, I have cried as I have held my Harper and considered that we almost missed out on her. We almost missed out on the blessing of adopting her too. I just cannot even imagine.

I share this with you because I wanted to encourage your heart and let you know that your husband’s life touched us so deeply. Even in his departing from this earth, the Lord is using him profoundly, Renee. I know for a fact that we would have chickened out and NOT adopted Harper. I don’t think we would have had the courage. It was only because of the seed that your Derek has left behind that we were moved to bring her home. And for that I am so VERY thankful.

How BLESSED we are! She is a priceless treasure. I leave on Monday to complete the adoption and bring them both home.

Continuing to bring your family before the Father. May He continue to envelope you in His sweet love.

With much love
Adeye Salem
