Famous surfer Bethany Hamilton’s 3-year-old nephew, Andrew, died on Friday after succumbing to his injuries from a drowning accident.
In an Instagram post shared over the weekend, the 34-year-old professional athlete, who lost her arm in a shark attack while surfing at the age of 13, opened up about the tragic loss of her “sweet” nephew.
“The Lord has received my sweet nephew Andrew into his beautiful care,” Hamilton wrote on Instagram Saturday. “While my family and I will miss him dearly, we trust that his joy is full with Jesus.”
She added, “Here is a prayer of faith that was prayed by my brother, and our whole family, this last week. This prayer paints so incredibly what it is to have faith. Faith is to trust that God’s will for our life is greater than our own. Thank you all for the love, prayers and support in this trying time. Be blessed.”
