But somewhere in all that sorrow, light has a way of shining through.

Courtney Hill experienced that firsthand when her husband Bryan was suddenly taken from her and her family.

Bryan was a career soldier in the US Army and served in Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan. Over the years, he put himself in many dangerous situations, but he always came home unharmed.

When Bryan retired from the Army, he and Courtney looked forward to a much more relaxed and happy future.

But what they didn’t know was that disaster was lurking around the corner.

In February 2016, Bryan died in a tragic car crash. Courtney not only lost her beloved husband, her daughter Reagan also had to say farewell to her wonderful daddy.

Soon, Courtney was completely busy preparing for the wake. Then in the middle of everything, she got some surprising news: she was pregnant.

During the wake, Courtney held Bryan’s hand and whispered in his ear, “Sweetheart, you’re going to be a dad again.”

“Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn’t know you had, and dealing with fears you didn’t know existed”

The months passed and Courtney worked through her sorrow. She tried, as much as she could, to adapt to a new everyday life.

Unfortunately, things became difficult when Courtney started suffering from severe abdominal pain. Fearing a miscarriage, she went to her doctor.

And that’s when Courtney got some more news that turned her world upside down.

The doctors could see two boys and one girl in the ultrasound!
