Copeland Family Fire

  Macey Jones: More items have been added to the family's Amazon registries. It is beyond overwhelming the amount of people reaching out and asking what they can do to help. I'm so grateful for the inspiration my family had to make a list which then became an Amazon registry. It has helped give us an answer to all of you amazing people who ask what you can do to help. It has given me a task that makes me feel like I'm able to help Whitney, Kyle, Pepper, Kade, Emree and Krew. It has created organization out of chaos. Life continues to teach me that no single person is above heart ache and pain. God knew this life would be difficult and yet he sent us anyway knowing the growth would be greater than the pain it takes to get there. Just like a seed who has to break out of a hard situation (hard shell and complete darkness) the after math is more beautiful than we ever could have imagined. There is more growth in affliction.

The Copeland Family Updates (Janie Hawley) 12/31/2021 9:30am Update 12/31 at 9:30 am from Greg Copeland, Kyle's father who is at the UMC Burn Center in Las Vegas with Whitney, holding vigil with their family: "The continual outpouring of love and support from so many, in ways both great and small, is quite overwhelming and truly appreciated.

They sedated him shortly after. I loved feeling his fingers squeeze mine ♥️.” This afternoon, Whitney had a tender moment with Pepper.   While it’s difficult to decipher her limited lip movements, when Whitney and Pepper can actually communicate it is a joyous moment fo...

Whitney Copeland: Can’t get that damn bus out of my mind. That bus that we dreamt about. Schemed. Planned. Then actually bought. It was crazy and we knew it. It consumed our thoughts, time and every extra $ went into it for 2 years. It was what we wanted, what we needed. It was a way for us to simplify it was a retreat. We became minimalists to focus on us, to focus on Kyle’s recovery, to focus on time together, because we knew that’s what’s important. It was our safe haven. It was a beautiful solitude after hardships that this life can offer.  Life can be cruel. I’ve learned without living the hard times we can’t really fully understand the beauty this life has to offer. To everything there is an opposite. We created the opposite of what we had been experiencing and it was beautiful.  We celebrated birthdays, with our uneven cake from baking in an uneven parking lot. Holidays. We laughed at our 3ft Charlie Brown tree with homemade ornaments and lights that Krew & Emree p...
