Zac,

I pray you are next to God in Heaven watching over us all.
Thank you for the kind words you wrote to me in the spring, regardling my own loss.
I pray that God sees your family through and that they can move forward in ways that would make you very proud. Althought I never knew you, I can tell you are one of the good guys that we had here on Earth and God needed you more up there in Heaven.
God Bless us All, RIP Zac.

Mandy, I just love this post. You, your kids, Stacey, Zac’s parents…you all come to my mind so often. Thank you for allowing us a window in to your thoughts and daily joys and struggles. Your reliance on God is an example to all of us. Praying that God continues to comfort you and pour out grace on your family. Love from the Bundys!

I followed a link to the video of Zac’s life. A friend of mine had posted it on facebook. Wasn’t really sure that I was ready to watch it, however I’m glad that I did. I’m sorry for your loss, yet glad that you had the time that you did with him. I know that it’s hard to get through loss as in 2008/2009 I lost 4 members of my family (including my dad and his siblings), mostly to various forms of cancer. He would have been 77 this year and I miss him greatly.

I want you to know that I always come to Zac’s page with anticipation and I never leave disappointed. I love that you are seeing Zac in your children and that you are experiencing him through them. Isn’t that amazing and just like God to give that comfort and assurance.
I always find encouragement, bravery and hope in your writings. Thanks, please don’t ever quit being so fresh and honest.

How simply ah-mazing…I loved reading Lizzie’s comment and how they are remembering Zac in the present. I was deeply touched by that. What it made me think of is how, as Christians, we do so easily forget that we must remain in present – we remember Jesus in the present, why not anyone else? So, a belated ‘Happy Birthday’ to Zac and ‘Happy 12th Anniversary”.

I have a friend that recorded an album some years ago and one song was titled ‘The Faces of Our Friends” – summing it up, it was stating that we see Christ in the faces of our friends. In taking from that, I know your last statement about seeing Zac IN your children is more than truth, it is FACT. When you long to see him, just look at your children and he’s there. May God continue to be your Comfort and Strength.

Mandy, you are “right on” it. Zac will always be in the present tense…because he is… in every part of your life. You see him in your children now…just wait another 10 years, I don’t know who looks the most like him….but as they grow older…you will always see Zac in the present tense.
One day as you glimpse from a distance or hear that voice …you will do a double take and think you are looking at your beloved…and for a split second, it will take your breath away as you breath his name… and you realize–it’s one of your boys…Zac in the present tense. Mandy, I hope you will keep all of your journaling, as you have Zac’s. So many people would be blessed to see your family’s life in written form…not now, but when God tells you, it’s time. Praying always for your family….

Thank you for posting. Though I haven’t met you in person I truly care how you are doing. God is so good to create siblings by adoption, and Zac is my brother as well!
