Why didn't someone put it back? Why weren't they holding him? It is hard when we can see our babies and know the care and love we have is so much more than they are receiving. <BR/><BR/>But you are so right about God's perspective and plan are in this situation! The care and the gifts He will provide dwarf what we as Eartly parents will provide. <BR/><BR/>You are in my prayers, and so is Ellie.Betsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16626578863532524793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4288995014693881732.post-90203718937898409682008-08-21T20:33:00.000-06:002008-08-21T20:33:00.000-06:00I LOVED the end of your post, thank you for the re...I LOVED the end of your post, thank you for the reminder :) I know how hard the waiting is for you. SOON Ellie will be in your arms and the horrible ache will go away. The light will return to those big beautiful eyes, and she will KNOW without a doubt that she is loved!

Well, I'll tell you what...the fact that He gave you those thoughts, and that you had the courage to post them, is amazing.<BR/><BR/>THANK YOU for being such an amazing woman.

He was so precious. Even the photos we took the first few days of travel were amazing to me. It didn't take long, though (after we were home and his spirit started to shine through) for me to look at those photos and be filled with sadness. I saw (and still do when I look back at them) the emptiness in his eyes and his soul. It is so heartbreaking and sad. Keep reminding yourself that that spark will return once she is in your loving arms. Hang in there!Shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07076402530390916615noreply@blogger.com
