Shaun Turner settles back into his leather sofa next to his wife Miriam and gives her an encouraging pat on the hand. He finds a comfortable spot and crosses his legs. A few moments pass before he has collected his thoughts enough to express them aloud. He talks freely about Ryan, his and Miriam's oldest child and only son. The two of them reminisce about Ryan, his contagious zest for life and his devotion to Christ.

Miriam loves to tell the story of how Ryan made a commitment to Christ at the age of three. "We were in the car and Ryan began to ask me questions about heaven and whether everybody who dies goes to heaven. I had to tell him no, that not everybody does. Only Christians, people who know Jesus, get to go to heaven."
