Our precious little granddaughter went to her eternal home earlier this year. <br /><br />We had the chance to love her, here on earth, for 2 days, which we cherish. Some days I am "fine" and some days I feel like I could just fall on the floor and curl up and never move again I miss her so much.<br /><br />(((hugs))) to your family.Ranchmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15427291901047717387noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355574191261679830.post-25069598762884499162011-12-05T21:21:04.532-06:002011-12-05T21:21:04.532-06:00Hey dear one, I emailed you just now.

You are so right, there are so many days things so not seem so great. But we are blessed. Life is a vapor. And we shall see our boys again one day.

Thank you for sharing! December 11th will mark 7 years ago that our 16 year old son died unexpectedly and yes, all of a sudden a memory comes and tears still flow out. It was hard this past summer when our oldest son got married - his brother was only 13 months younger and should have been by his side. So there's still "firsts" even 7 years later. I look forward with you when our tears will finally be wiped away, for forever.Lonihttp://writingcanvas.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355574191261679830.post-62628750837142780842011-12-04T20:41:20.377-06:002011-12-04T20:41:20.377-06:00I have read your blog since the passing of Christi...I have read your blog since the passing of Christian. I would grieve for you and often wonder, how can someone get through such a difficult time. I mean, I know Christ and have since I was 17 years old, but I just couldn't imagine going through that. I would cry because my heart would ache for you and your family. <br /><br />This year we lost our son on Nov. 3. He is 3 1/2 years old. You see, he is still alive but was taken from us. We were his foster parents and we had him since he was born. All that was left was the final adoption paper. All the rest of the paperwork had already been signed by the judge. Then the judge decided to all of the sudden give him to a relative. A very unstable relative and a non-legal relative. We had 30 minutes to say goodbye and he was gone. <br /><br />I am hurting so bad. Other than birthing my son, he was mine. He was since he was born. We were with him at the hospital since his birth, we brought him home. He was my son. Having to go through the Holidays will be hard. We decorated the tree and i found his ornaments from previous years and I just cried. <br /><br />I now know why the Lord lead me to your blog. I know by seeing you there is hope and it will get better.Many Kids 4 Ushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08745831269511574780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355574191261679830.post-5378376416212669482011-12-04T17:15:17.134-06:002011-12-04T17:15:17.134-06:00Marsha

I to can feel your heart breaking as well.<br />We had a child born with spina bifida and hyrdocephulus. She was born November the 3rd and lived till November the 17th. We were able to spend 2 glorious weeks with her. But my heart and mind wonder Why did God chose my husband and I to be her parents. I struggle with alot and yesterday she would have been a month old. I have been having aniexty attacks and we have 3 other girls that I know are gifts from God as well but I feel sometimes when I am playing with them or doing something fun I feel guilty for enjoying myself. I am struggling to move on. I feel so lost, empty and just wondering why. <br />I know God has a perfect plan for us and his plans and thoughts are different from ours. <br />As a Christ follower I know she is in heaven whole and perfect but my heart aches b/c i feel like i did not get enough time. <br />However, we have heard stories on top of stories of how Autumn's story touched so many lives. I know he had a plan for her and it was fullfilled in the 2 weeks she was here. I feel honored that we were her parents but I feel so empty as well. I came home from the hosptial with just her clothes and nothing inside. How do you heal from this.<br />Could you shine some light on this since we both have lost a child.<br />My email is inhimitrust316@yahoo.com and i have a blog journey... blessings in disguise. I would like to hear your story.

My heart breaks for her and I want to be encouraging and supporting, but a miscarriage is the closes thing I've ever been to her situation and I realize that doesn't compare. I'm going to share her blog with you in hopes that she will find some comfort in your words! Thanks for sharing your pain with others!!!Leticiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049922431285328637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355574191261679830.post-28676390877052499202011-12-04T15:17:08.160-06:002011-12-04T15:17:08.160-06:00As I read this and as I listened to the song, I th...As I read this and as I listened to the song, I thought about you and this verse from Hebrews "Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name."<br /><br />To praise Him when it is hard and you hurt is offering that sacrifice of praise. The world doesn't get it, but God sees your sacrifice of praise to Him and like the widow who gave her last two mites, He knows that when you give, you are giving all you have.<br /><br />May the Lord bless you continually and abundantly for continuing to praise Him in the pain.<br /><br />Love you...Lainiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17770018512125146175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355574191261679830.post-378733119615742272011-12-04T13:46:24.111-06:002011-12-04T13:46:24.111-06:00Praying for you and sending hugs your way and to a...Praying for you and sending hugs your way and to all of the others who have experienced loss. It really can make holidays a bittersweet time. My dad always wanted "3 button polo-style shirts WITH pockets" because he needed a place to put his glasses or pen. <br /><br />It used to be so hard to find those shirts, but if I gave him one without a pocket, he'd just offer it right back to us. He was adamant about the pocket! Ha! <br /><br />Now I can see those shirts "with a pocket" and tears well up in my eyes. At first, it was awful grieving tears, but now it's more tears of fond memories of his stubbornness about those pockets.<br /><br />Hoping those tears become more and more happy/fond memory tears for you and so many others.Nancy ~Lessons Learned on the Farmhttp://nancyrcarter.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355574191261679830.post-61594364561824509002011-12-04T12:54:39.713-06:002011-12-04T12:54:39.713-06:00:hugs: I know the pain of Christian's loss wil...:hugs: I know the pain of Christian's loss will never go away but I pray for your comfort through it! <br />love you!LilTanGurlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03291210196594415269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2355574191261679830.post-85628763150432984022011-12-04T10:16:00.650-06:002011-12-04T10:16:00.650-06:00I love you Marsha!
