Oh, Emma...........

Oh, Emma...........

I have skipped over this message several times now..............I just couldn't bring myself to open it up............but it kept haunting me, and before I was even conscious of it, I would find myself right back here staring at the subject line again............................debating.............why open it? It's all right there in the subject line.............the words we never want to read............the words we never want to hear...........the battle is lost, the message is read, the words digested...............another CHD kid has lost her battle, two more parents have just had their hearts ripped out and run through the shredder...........and their world will never be the same........never again.

Then comes the onslought of chills and that huge tumorous knot in the pit of my stomach as I am yet again reminded of how close we came this last surgery and how rocky and narrow the path is upon which we must tread.

My heart and tears go out to Mollie's parents and family. May God give them the strength and courage to forge through the very difficult days ahead. I pray that peace and acceptance will come with time.

All my love. Janet

Emma, Janet,

I too have a hard time posting with things like this. Especially being a mother, I can't even begin to wrap my brain around the worst thing in the world. Janet said it so perfectly so I'll just echo her if it's ok. It's too awful.

Heaven just opened her arms for another little angel. Prayers for you and the family are coming your way.

Emma,

Many years ago, my wife and I lost our precious first-born girl to acute leukemia so I have some sense of how devastating this loss is. Words cannot make it better, but I do have the sense that God has some precious little angels gathered around Him, and they are welcoming little Mollie as the newest arrival.

Poor wee thing!

Poor wee thing!

That's a real shame Emma. So sad she had to go like that especially when she was doing better and everyone was so hopeful for her. I'll say a special prayer for her, her family and you tonight!

Gods Lent Child


I'll lend you for a little while a child of mine God said,

For you to love the while he lives and mourn for when he's dead.

It may be six or seven years, or forty two or three,

But will you till I call him back take care of him for me?

He'll bring his charms to gladden you and should his stay be brief,

You'll always have his memories as a solace in your grief.

I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return,

But there are lessons taught below I want this child to learn.

I have looked this whole world over in my search for teachers true,

And from the folk that crowd life's lane, I have chosen you.

Now will you give him all your love and not think the labour vain,

Nor hate me when I come, to take this lent child back again.

I fancy that I heard them say, " Dear God thy will be done"

For all the joys this child will bring the risk of grief we'll run.

We will shelter him with tenderness, we'll love him while we may,

And for all the happiness we have known, we'll ever grateful stay.

But should the angels call him much sooner than we'd planned,

We will brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.

I don't know what to say. I too like many others have been skipping over this post. Please let the family know that they and Mollie are still in our prayers.

How very very sad.

May God give that beautiful Mollie's family a peace that passes all understanding.

Tearfully,
