Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Mark Twain

Oh, my sweet Liz.  All I’ve been able to think about is the photo of Endi’s First Communion picture that you used to carry around so proudly. That amazing, sweet and mischievous smile will be forever etched in my mind.  Please know that our family’s heart breaks with yours and we send you all the love in the world at this time.

I think the reason your Target family is so very enamored with you and your family is because of the passion, adventure, togetherness and love that you have thrown into every step and day of parenthood.  The Ackermans always seemed to me to be the family you’d want to join if you got the choice.

Endicott will live on forever.  His life, captured so beautifully in these photos, seems to have packed 80 years worth of living into his short time on this Earth.  We should all learn from that.  We wish you so much love and peace during this tragic time.
