We miss our Joshua Kyle terribly and think of him everyday.  We so look forward to seeing him again one day. For that I am thankful. I cannot update you on our family without mentioning our Joshua. As we celebrate the birth of Christ I am reminded of the night Joshua Kyle went to heaven and as we were weeping in deep, deep grief I realized I knew where Joshua was because I knew and remembered vividly the day Joshua accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.  A peace came over me I will never forget.  The excruciating pain continued as I was held in tension with peace unspeakable.
