No. No. No. The state troopers had finally figured out where Jacob was—the morgue.
Would we lose Caleb too? Oh, God. Please, no. We can’t lose them both in one night.

Podcast Interview Samples
“Grief is so hard, and yet it’s something we all experience. Through her own experience and walk with tragic loss and grief, she shares about a moment of while in her grief and planning her son’s funeral, she finds a poem/rap, and how her son’s writing talks about meeting Jesus face-to-face, as if he is given this gift of God’s prompting before his passing, and gave Jenny some peace in her grief. This episode is shorter in length, but doesn’t miss any amount of depth. For anyone who has experienced a loss of a child, or is experiencing grief, this episode is worth the listen!”
