I can't help but wonder why? Why does God take some precious little ones out of this world so early? I know he needs them and there is a reason for everything, but why? I saw a quote today and this is not exact but it was something along the lines of "God, I wanted to teach my baby about you when she grew up, but since you have her now will you teach her about me?" This really touched me. I looked at the family's blog again today and am so amazed at how the words they posted were so eloquent and thought provoking. I am so amazed at their strength through this trying time. I know if it were me there would be no more posts....
I suppose I just need to ramble. Today it was gloomy and rainy and Lilly and I stayed inside all day and played. We had so much fun but my thoughts and emotions were bouncing all over the place, and I am having these emotions as an outsider! How can this family, who I just happen to come across on a whim, touch me like this? Maybe it is their faith that amazes me, I don't know.
I am so grateful for my Lilly. I love her more than life itself and I am just heartbroken tonight for them because i'm sure their love for their little one was the same. I am so moved by the way this story has touched so many, but at this cost? This is crushing...no child should ever go before their parent. I suppose God has a plan for everyone and everything. We are all here on this earth to eventually get up there so maybe we will know why things like this happen someday.
Please keep praying for this family. This must be the darkest hour of their lives....
