The perfectionist in me is really frustrated right now... I hate this part of my personality. I'm working on that.
I just got a comment on a post I wrote a couple weeks ago... I didn't remember what I had written, so I went back to re-read it and found a HUGE error. ergh.
I wrote about a verse that God gave me in the middle of the night at the hospital ( I was blessed to be snuggling with Rachel that night, but she had already passed away) and somehow, in my copy & pasting, I left out the main point of the post! Please humor me and read it again. click

It will make way more sense now... (I left out the last line of verse 8 last time.)
On August 4, 2010 our hearts broke as we heard the Dr. say "she has anencephaly...these babies don't live" at our 19 wk ultrasound. The Dr. is wrong. Our precious daughter's time on earth may be short, but she will live for eternity with our Lord in heaven. During the few months we have her here with us, we intend to make the most of every second of it. Our hope is that she will leave behind more than a few short memories, but that she will leave a legacy of what it means to hope in Jesus.
We have spent the last hour reading through your blog and watching the presentation you created for Rachel's memorial service. What a beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteYour words describing your journey have truly touched our hearts. We said goodbye to our baby boy, Caden, in June of 2008 (http://cadenscubs.blogspot.com). The emotions you describe are ones we can relate to so strongly. Your words are a true ministry.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family this holiday season and beyond. May you find peace and healing with each day that passes, and may memories of your time with Rachel warm your hearts when sadness weighs heavy on your soul. Thanks so much for sharing your heart with us.
The Carlson Family
Dear Stacy,
ReplyDeleteI just watched your beautiful slideshow for Rachel and I am deeply touched.
For us, Valentinas birth is coming closer, getting more real every day... We will wait for her to come spontaneously, if possible, so only god knows, when or if that will happen between now and January. Her due date is on January3, but 2 of our 3 children came early. I hope and pray for a little time with her, and for peaceful acceptance of whatever comes. In the meanwhile I read every one of your posts and I promise, I will keep Rachel also in my memories forever.
Lot´s of love,
iko
