We were The Miller, Party of 5, family for a glorious two and a half years after a tragic accident took the life of our daughter, Sadie. On June 26, 2017, Sadie went Home to be with our Lord. We are still a family of 5, but our earthly family has changed to 4.
Three months prior to Sadie’s Heaven Day, Trent was named Athletic Coordinator/Head Football Coach for Spring High School. We were on cloud nine, and we were living our dream out! To us, God was so good and gave us all the blessings (and more) that we could ever dream of. Then the accident happened, and we had a choice to make.
Our video tells the story of what happened, but more important, it tells of the HOPE that we have in Jesus. We still struggle at times and our earthly hearts are still broken, but what promises He gives us that all of our sadness and heartache will be gone when we are reunited and we get to see her and love on her once again. That is what I keep my hope in. There’s no way we could do this without Him.
This video has been healing to Trent and me for many reasons. People have commented on our strength, but we know that strength is from God alone. We couldn’t do this without Him and the peace and comfort He provides each of us daily.

Your message is a great reminder; God’s healing is continuous and always there for us.
Thanks for sharing your story. My sweet first husband and I lost our beloved boy to cancer 9 1/2 years ago. His Daddy then passed away just 3 years ago from cancer. I know the two of them are together with the Father. This reminds me so much of how Brendon’s Dad felt after he died. He felt reponsible and coukdnt save his son. Thanks. Praying the Lord continues to hold you all through those days of hard. Much love send through cyber space.
Thank you for sharing Julie! We are so sorry about your son and husband. What a sweet picture of them together now.
