A Memorial in Honor of Wade Shailesh Thomas Cochran

"I know that You can do all things;
no purpose of Yours can be thwarted.

The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away;
may the name of the Lord be praised."

Job 42:2 & 1:21

A Note from the Cochran Family:

December 2nd was an awful day.  And somehow it was also beautiful. Our little superhero, THE Wade, took his last breath as we held his hand and sang over him - a holy and heartbreaking moment.

We’d choose Wade over and over and over again without a single hesitation. We are the luckiest and most undeserving parents in all of the land to call him ours.  And also, as all things with adoption, we weep for his biological parents, begging God to somehow let them know that we absolutely never left his side and walked all the way through this and every other challenge with their boy, our (collectively our) boy: Wade Shailesh Thomas Cochran.”

Thank you for loving our Wade with us.  In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to BraveLove in honor of our little superhero.
