I feel fortunate, Leila was just a preterm birth, I only went through her death once. I can't imagine finding out Isaac's prognosis, grieving that, then having to birth him and grieve again. <br /><br />I am in awe of your strength.Emmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02100182709422069894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068737629915702103.post-6902748184648814292009-07-09T12:55:11.234-07:002009-07-09T12:55:11.234-07:00My prayers are continuing for you and your sweet f...My prayers are continuing for you and your sweet family.

The first nights were so hard, unable to sleep, researching and finding things that were unpleasant to say the least. Sleep is still elusive....and the thoughts that come in the still of the night are...harsh. My heart is aching with you dear friend. I remember all too well those first days how I felt my world crashing around me. <br /><br />I love what your friend Michelle wrote..."They chose to be born and God told them to choose carefully, because not every parent would be able to handle such love and loss, such joy and sorrow; not everyone would be able to remember and love them everyday when they were no longer physically here" I choose to believe that even though it is painful to know....it is also a blessing to know that, out of so many parents that Noah "COULD" have chosen, he chose us, just as Isaac chose you & Andrew. Wow...I love that. <br /><br />I love the fact that I am being forever changed by this...and at the same time I HATE it! I wish God had chosen some other method in which to bring about change. But it is what it is....I can only move forward and accept what has happened. <br /><br />I am so eternally grateful that God has placed you in my life. Like you said to me, it helps so much because you. get. me.....period. No explanations necessary. And I'm so thankful for that.Celiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01693462964633943684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068737629915702103.post-31453725079324690342009-07-07T05:38:59.088-07:002009-07-07T05:38:59.088-07:00That was a powerful piece.

When the house was quiet, crazy thoughts invaded my head and wouldn't quiet for many hours. I did mindless, unimportant things to lull my brain. It didn't work.<br /><br />Love and hugs to you an your family.Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18132650070996872540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5068737629915702103.post-14993042330977346612009-07-07T04:47:31.893-07:002009-07-07T04:47:31.893-07:00Thinking of Issac and remembering him with you.

He was and is a gift to you and your family.<br /><br />After Nick and Sophie died, as we were trying to make sense of the whys, my husband said something that I will never forget. Perhaps our children, in that place where souls wait for God to send them to families, were told that they could either stay in heaven forever or could come to earth for only a brief time. They chose to be born and God told them to choose carefully, because not every parent would be able to handle such love and loss, such joy and sorrow; not everyone would be able to remember and love them everyday when they were no longer physically here. And our babies, searching the world over, chose up to be their mommy and daddy.<br /><br />Issac knew that, no matter what, you'd always love him, and God knew too, and gave you your beautiful little miracle to love and cherish forever.<br /><br />Thinking of you...Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681333723382119281noreply@blogger.com
