Prayers

Tonight I went to the funeral home for a friend of mine who delivered her daughter 14 weeks early. She had a little girl, who lived for 2 weeks and very sadly they lost her last Friday. It was probably one of the hardest funerals I have ever attended. Their sweet little baby's casket was so tiny and seeing it just absolutely broke my heart. It's not like this is easier for anyone to deal with but my friend and her husband had to try for a very long time to get pregnant in the first place and to have this happen to them just absolutely rips my heart out.

I cried all the way home and when I got here I went into the girls bedroom. They were still up and I just snuggled them close and counted my blessings. We will never know why God chooses to do some of the things he does but I just thank him every day for giving us the chance to raise our girls. I pray that he allows my friend and her husband the chance to experience being parents again. I want to ask everyone who reads my blog to please say a few prayers for Ashley and Luke that they may find peace and be able to move on from this horrible tragedy.

I am so sorry for your friends. So very very sad, confusing, frustrating, heart breaking... I will certainly pray for them.
