Friends and Family, We are heavy hearted over the loss of baby Hezekiah. What a sad week this has been. I wanted to thank you all for being so amazing, for loving Kelly and Kelley so much, they have been so blessed by all of you! Thank you for our friends who have supported us so that we were able to be there with our family this week. There are going to be some really tough days ahead....Please don't stop praying...it is just so delicate. Pray for wisdom on how to comfort, we need wisdom from the Lord to know what to say when there are no words, and to be silent when we need to be silent...
(romans 8:26 In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.)

I want to just say what an honor it has been to walk through this week with my family...I am praising God first of all for the character of Kelly and Kelley..I looked around and was so amazed at how they were handling such pain.... I looked at both sides of the family that were an amazing support from the beginning..and that it was so amazing to see that we all were united by Christ as one family, and that we together knew who we could turn to on behalf of Hezekiah..I am thankful for the relationship that has been formed over the years between Kelly and I, that allowed for some of the most amazingly intimate moments that I will treasure in my heart always. She is an amazing woman. Kelly Lyn Sewell did not have long with her baby, but she was an amazing mother to kye, if love could have kept him alive he would have made it because he was thought about even before she knew he was growing in her belly, prayed for all the time and She LOVED him so much and was so honored to be his mother. If you all could have seen what an amazing dad Kelley Wayne Sewell was to little kye you would have seen a daddy that was fighting for his baby,and was loosing sleep because of his love for a sweet boy that i bet he never knew would grip his heart the way he did. He was a warrior dad over his little guy, and went to great measures to be the protector of his little boy. These two have exemplified such beauty as parents....I am so blessed to know them. I am so sad to see them mourn and miss sweet Hezekiah, it hurts me so deeply. I do know that all of us hope our children will make some impact on the world, and in 7 days, one baby sure stirred the hearts of many. Thank you all for your compassion...please dont stay away because its too hard to face, its ok to say "i dont know what to say". 
Thank you all for everything, and please keep them in your prayers at there are many hard days ahead

Dear friends, let us continue to love one another, for love comes from God. Anyone who loves is a child of God and knows God." 1 John 4:7

2 corinthians 1:3-7 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort
