Today has been long. I feel such joy when holding my precious baby - yet my heart aches as I hear of the recent deaths of others babies. As believers we have a hope in Christ - yet the pain as my friend describes still is unbearable. I ask(actually beg) God that I NEVER have to experience that particular pain in my life as I gaze at my son with tears knowing that he really is a gift from God on loan. I continue to ask God to give me what I need to love my baby well. As I hold my baby's precious face before God, I thank Him for every precious moment that He has given him to us. Each facial expression, body movement and coo is a special memory for us.
Please pray for those who have recently lost a baby - that in the midst of their sorrow, they are able to experience the love of our Father God. A Father who loves us even more than we love our own children (that is a deep love that is hard to comprehend).

It is so difficult to imagine going through that pain. I used to think often about how vulnerable my babies were -- I could see their delicate veins beneath their skin, and it took my breath away. Your friend is blessed to have such a sensitive woman to walk through this with her.
Love,
Nancy
