We are the Sparks family. I’m Dawn, a professional photographer, and my husband, Noy, is a golf course superintendent. Together, we’ve built a life in beautiful Colorado with our four children—three who are here with us and one who now walks with Jesus.
On February 10, 2023, our world shattered when our 15-year-old son, Julian, took his life. In the wake of that loss, I began writing—processing grief, searching for hope, and clinging to the promises of God. This space is where I share that journey.
If you are walking through sorrow, you are not alone. My prayer is that The Break of Dawn offers a place of comfort, encouragement, and a reminder that even in the darkest nights, the light will come.
