On New Year’s Day 2023, as many people were waking to the excitement and endless possibilities of a new calendar year, Conlon and Rachel Bonner awoke to find that their nine-month-old son Joshua had passed away. The youngest of their six children, Joshua had been a source of light and love since joining their family in 2022, and now they were left to figure out how to live without him. For the Bonners, this meant focusing on how to live their lives with faith pointed toward a future when they will be reunited with Joshua again.

“He is motivation. He is almost like a guiding light to hold on tight to our covenants, to our knowledge of what is right, to do our very best, and to help others along the way.” —Conlon Bonner
