10 Months
Today has been a hard day. Really hard in fact. I woke up knowing that it was the 23rd, but not fully anticipating all of the emotion that accompanied this date... on this day. I kind of feel like I am all over the place emotionally, and I know that is to be expected. I continue to covet your prayers as we celebrate the beautiful miracles of our two precious children here with us and thank the Lord for our beautiful miracle baby in Heaven.
Through the tears, joy still overflows. I couldn't help but smile today as I looked at newborn pictures of both of our boys with Faith Clare in the flesh lying in the middle... what a beautiful sight. I am filled with gratitude when I look into the precious face of our baby girl. In her face I see hope, love, peace, restoration... She has created a new place in my heart that could only be fully realized by seeing her, by holding her, and by whispering sweet prayers to her that are shared only with our Lord. When I look into her eyes, I am so thankful... thankful that her presence today was made possible by the Creator of the Universe... thankful that her presence was preceded by her tiny brother Maddox.
Maddox, we love you! Your baby sister has arrived to our family and we feel so blessed... yet we still miss you greatly on this, your 10 month birthday. We hope you had a beautiful day with our Lord and all your friends!

"He said to them, 'Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.' And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them."- Mark 10:13-16

I was looking at the three pictures you posted, of your three beautiful children. I know your heart must be so full right now. Full of love, joy, peace, thanksgiving. And full of sorrow and pain. All at once.
I will be praying for you and your family today and in the days to come!
Love and Hugs, Laurie in Ca.
