"Finding Hope in the Darkest Hours"
On February 10, 2011, Cayden had a routine surgery. The following day, he went into cardiac and respiratory arrest. He died on February 12, 2011 during the wee hours of the night. The days following his death, I searched and searched the internet for encouragement and hope. Never in my life did I feel so alone with so many people surrounding me and supporting me. For those of you who have lost a child, I know you understand.
Today, I want you to know there is HOPE. This is not to say this journey is not going to be hard. The days are very painful and there is never a moment I don't miss him. But through the pain, Cayden's death has truly impressed on me the tremendous love of God. He sent His own Son as a sacrifice so that we can have eternal life. This means I get to see my precious little boy again. God has been there. He watched as His own son was crucified on the cross. It is the hope of the cross that gives me comfort each day. I pray that Cayden's death would not be in vain and that God would use his precious life to reach far beyond what I could have ever dreamed. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. John 3:17
These pages are dedicated to Cayden Joseph Sellers and his short life. He brought so much joy and laughter into my life and I will cherish the memories we shared forever and for always.
The following song "Beautiful" by Mercy Me was the song that I played by Cayden's bedside in the hospital as I watched his life slip away. God knew before Cayden's life began, that it would end that night. He is in the arms of Jesus now and one day I will see him again.
