My cousin Cody would have turned 21 today. He died on May 6, 2012 from Sudden Cardiac Arrest. I love Cody very much, so, in honor of his birthday, here are some pictures of us throughout the years :)

My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.
Psalm 73:26But this I call to mind, and therefore I have hope: The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness… 
For the Lord will not cast off forever, but, though he cause grief, he will have compassion according to the abundance of his steadfast love; for he does not afflict from the heart or grieve the children of men.
Lamentations 3:21-23, 31-33
