I learned today that a guy I went to school with and his wife lost their baby. I don't know what happened, but she was born today and passed away today. All I can think tonight is the feelings that are going through their minds. Knowing that they have to bury their child!! I have been there and tonight I know exactly what they are going through. The thoughts of why us, the thoughts of why her!! I am not sure what to say to them, but know that support is the best thing. To let them know that I am there. That is all you can do for someone who has buried a child. To know that you will never see their graduation, prom, children, wedding....etc....
You will always think of the day that they left, and wonder what they would be like today. I do it all the time. Thinking that Bethanie would be 9, what would she be like? Would she be good in school? Would she look like her daddy? Or me? No parent should have to bury their children. In a far world, we all believe that the children take care of their old parents, who leave before them. Sometimes that don't happen. Sometimes it does. When it don't we often wonder what went wrong, why it happened to these parents. God is great, and he knows what is best. For us and them. You don't know what could have happened later down the road!! Something serious for instance. We have to leave this in God's eternal plan. So tonight I pray for these two parents, the grandparents and the family. That the Lord may wrap his wonderful arms around them and hold them while they lay Ava down to sleep.
