Good morning my friend

24 years ago today my first baby died, my son, Brady.  23 years ago today, God blessed me with a daughter, Brianna.  21 years ago tomorrow, God blessed me again with a son, Bailey.  None of them were born even in the month they were supposed to be.  This is the first year that I have not been sad on this day.  It must be true that time does help to heal.  Brianna and Bailey used to fight like cats and dogs when they were little and can you believe they spend a lot of time together now?  They are actually spending the day together today.  Brianna used to beg me to give Bailey away, LOL.  They are my blessings!  My youngest, Becca, is 12, and she thinks those two hung the moon.  I am just so thankful for my children. 

My countdown is continuing.  I am hoping to have surgery in 7 weeks.  I am so excited and just cannot wait.

Please remember to keep our friends who are hurting in our prayers.  I never knew that your heart could literally hurt until Brady died, and I wish no one ever had to feel that pain.

I hope each and every one of you has a most wonderful day!

You are an inspiration and a blessing for those that have suffered this type of loss.  God has truly blessed you!  Keep us posted on your progress toward surgery.

Kim,

Thank you for this post.

My sister is experiencing this pain now. The funeral for Jeff is tomorrow. She as been so strong. Her faith has been such a witness to me. She knows where he is and that he is okay. But, I know tomorrow is going to be he hardest...saying goodbye.

Each day since Wednesday has been worse for me...I have been calling my grandsons by his and his brother's name all weekend. They've always reminded me of them when they were little and with Jeff so much on my mind, it has been so easy to slip and call Ethan Jeff.

Thank you for your sweet words in your response to my original post about Jeff's death. I really appreciate it and now I understand them more.

I'm glad you have not been sad this year. That's wonderful and as it should be.

You're still in my prayers for your surgery in 7 weeks. It will be a go and you will be a loser before you know it. God bless you and your precious family.

Christ's peace,

Connie,

They told us on Thanksgiving Day that Brady was going to die and that it would be 6 hours to 3 days.  He held on for 3 more days.  When I saw your post about Jeff, it just broke my heart because I knew the pain y'all were going through, and I just wanted to be able to take it all away.  I can understand about calling people by the wrong name.  I remember my brain was really fuzzy during this time.  Bless your heart, Connie.  I just wish so bad I could make it better for you and your sister and your entire family.  You are ALL in my prayers throughout the day.  I pray for peace and comfort for all of you.  I wake up a lot through the night and even during that time, I pray that all of you are sleeping peacefully.  The power of prayer is awesome.
