I can imagine your mother's joy. (Of course, I don't know what Heaven really is like in these matters.)

Though we have been out-of-touch for some time, I feel more "caught up" with your recent life events. . . and especially how your hearts are processing this. It is evident that God has walked with you both as you have faced so much. We are praying for God's comfort and tender mercies in the midst of your pain.

Don't let the enemy beat you up. (He's so good at that, you know.) You will go through the grieving process and can only take it moment by moment with God's grace, love and peace seeing you through. I've not been "been there" but surely am praying for you, Linda. Thank you for baring and sharing your heart so we better know how to pray for you all. May God's never-ending love and unfathomable peace flood your hearts. Love in Him!m.e.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09934075315203081919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373225852306635021.post-80587534681906964232012-06-24T09:03:37.489-04:002012-06-24T09:03:37.489-04:00Dearest Linda,

I went shopping and everytime I saw a pregnant lady or a mother with a baby, I wanted to go up to them and tell them what a wonderful blessing they have and to cherish every moment of every day and then I would say a prayer for comfort for you and your family. <br />You've been an inspiration to me throughout this entire time and even though you are going through what seems to be the darkest time of your life you are STILL a woman of amazing strength and a wonderful testimony to all who have the opportunity to meet you or even just read your blogs. <br />I wish I could make it to Cayla's funeral but I have to work and I doubt they will let me leave for non-family member funeral. But I'm going to try as I want to let you know in person how much I admire you and pray that I could become a 1/4 of the Christiam woman you are! God bless you and Lowell for being the wonderful Christian parents that you are and Samuel and Cayla are truely blessed for having you as parents.

From the feedings, to the clothes, to the trips you would take, to the doubts you would be facing, to the sympathetic people on Sunday who would unwittingly revive the pain—I'm in awe to think that the Holy Spirit led me to pray for you in exactly the moments you needed it, though I could have no idea of what you are going through. And I know I'm not the only. I say all that just so you'll know that you're not just being prayed for in a general way, but in those hardest moments the Holy Spirit is leading many of us to pray for you specifically. Love you so much.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12840069035562548493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373225852306635021.post-61059770556308014202012-06-24T01:59:38.312-04:002012-06-24T01:59:38.312-04:00Oh Linda your post reminds me so much of the perio...Oh Linda your post reminds me so much of the period after my husband died at the young age of 49 after 6 years of living with cancer. Guilt is absolutely something that everyone feels in your situation. We feel unreasonable guilt. We feel anger too. That is not a sin its perfectly normal. I wish someone had explained to me that all the feelings I had were absolutely normal in the situation.<br /><br />Carolyn Stirling<br /><br />I followed little Caylas progress via Pats posts and I know from these posts that you were a wonderful mummmy.<br /><br />Looking at that photo of Cayla sucking her thumb nobody could have thought there was anything wrong. She looks so perfect.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01024569752832132366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2373225852306635021.post-56948178440225530512012-06-24T01:03:58.685-04:002012-06-24T01:03:58.685-04:00LInda, I weep with you and love you so!
