Ethan made such an impact on so many people. The way he smiled and loved everyone despite the battles he faced that most do not- that is a lesson we all could use. He held no bitterness despite the hardships life gave him. He saw the good. He was an example of what we all should be. He was such a busy, fun little boy who will ALWAYS be in my heart. He will live on in everyone whose life he touched, and his spirit will live up above where everything is perfect and there are no troubles. He came to this Earth and changed people for the better- what a mission he fulfilled. Not goodbye- it is see you later, Ethan. We love you and will see you again. You are a superhero who completed his mission and we will miss you until we see you again. Truly, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 18:3. Ethan was the children that we need to be like and showed such an example of what we need to be. ❤ Fly high, Ethan!
