While We're Waiting® - Hope After Child Loss 161 | Walking A Tightrope with Lisa Thacker
Dalton Thacker was a vibrant young man with an infectious smile and a passion for sports and history. He loved to tell jokes and make people laugh, and in 2020, he chose "grit" as his word for the year. He was a goal setter with a desire to score 1,000 points in basketball over his high school career, and to make it to state in track and field. On May 14, 2020, Dalton took his own life with absolutely no warning signs or indication of what he was about to do, leaving his family reeling in the aftermath. His mom, Lisa, joins me today to talk about their experience, likening it to walking on a tightrope. Over time, she came to accept that when there are no answers, Jesus is the answer. Listen in and be encouraged.
