A message from me....brock

A few years ago Amy and I had a different blog, where I found myself interested in writing posts, where I felt my voice had relevance. Since then, I REALLY appreciate this blog Amy writes, and despite a few "comments" to her, I too have enjoyed reading my wife's perspective on our life, and regarding Daegen. She has a way to see and share that is different from how I do.

There are several experiences that in my life have added richness, depth and perspective. My wife, my faith, family and friends, struggles, my son, sacrifice and changing. Not really in any order except that Amy is first in that list...and woven into many of the others in that list. I thank God for her loving and being committed to me, and for all these experiences that continue to make me who I am.

This is one of my favorites. The look on Amy's face reminds me of all the best qualities about her. The look on Daegen's motivates me, and everyone who loves Daegen can see into those blue eyes of his and get a feeling about the man I believe he is destined to become.

"Daegen Ronald Miller" is a name intended to remind us about important people who have done exceptional things and who can share a perspective on the list of items from above, having not feared the high price to pay for those experiences. This weekend Amy, Daegen and I spent some time with one of those very individuals and I would like to pay tribute to her. She knows we cherish her.

I love this photo because you can see how happy Daegen is even though it's just a glimpse of him. And symbolically, for those who only see a glimpse of Daegen's life first hand, Megan's face does not reveal everything to us, but I see strength and an ability to warm our hearts.

I hope that many people who love Daegen read this blog, and that they will not judge what I consider to be sacred relationships, and will instead choose to focus on loving Daegen more strongly and selflessly. Daegen has a bright future. Together with those I love as friends and family I am building a house and life full of love, forgiveness, sharing, work, kindness, patience, commitment...healing. Isn't that really what this life is all about anyways. :) :( ...we laughed until we cried this weekend.
