* This is the 2nd child in my walks of life I know to die of SIDS. That is 2 too many.
Please pray for the repose of the soul of Berkley - 3 months old. Beloved first child, and grandchild of a dear family. He ONLY EVER knew love, smiles, cuddles, and sunshine (I'm trying to focus on that fact - how lucky he is over me in that fact. But, I admit, it is hard). He is in a far better place, and it is our hearts and dreams that suffer loss now - but God works in mysterious ways. VERY mysterious (I'm adding this to my long list of what I need to ask God about when I meet Him - because, why did this happen?). We just have to keep the faith.
I hold Gift ever close tonight - my girls too. Life is so fragile. And we should not ask "Why me?", but "Why NOT me?" We never know when these crosses hit us, so we need to savor every day and keep the faith.
Bless you Berkley. Bless his family and hold them strong.
And...that is all I know to say. There are no words, really.

ReplyDeleteI've told myself that about the little girl from my church who died, at almost 9 - in her life, she knew only love, and was given so, so much of it.
Praying. That's all I can do. Pray for the child, pray for his family, pray for everyone touched by this. I'm going to go find a big box of tissues now and try to explain to my son why mommy is crying
ReplyDeleteWhat sad news. I'm adding Berkley's family to my prayer list. I cannot imagine the heartache and grief that must surround them. Prayers for you as well.
ReplyDeleteO how horrible! I'm praying too. I cannot even imagine the pain.
ReplyDeleteI am soso sorry to hear of this loss. It strikes a tender chord in my heart these days, so close on the heels of my dear friend's loss...
