It’s just after midnight and I can’t sleep… too many emotions….too many thoughts….
June 3rd…
A day I lost my third child.
Yes, a third child…two of them were lost in the womb; the third through selfishness and the legal process.
I really want to shame the biological parents of the son I was to have…but that is not the way of Jesus.
The way of Jesus is to bless those who hurt you… so I pray blessings, love, grace and mercy on them. May the King of Kings ever be in their sight; may they be the parents that my son needs them to be.
And, Lord, while you are at it… could you help me figure out how to process this ’cause I don’t know how…

The below poem has been hanging on our wall for the past six years in remembrance of the two children we lost in the womb. Now it is a reminder of our third child… Andrew, we only knew you for a few weeks…but in that time you changed our lives. May you grow old knowing you were loved.

For those few weeks I had you to myself. And that seems to short of time to be changed so profoundly.In those few weeks I came to know you and love you. You came to trust me with your life Oh, what a life I had planned for you! Just those few weeks Just those few weeks Just a mere few weeks You were just those few weeks my little one |
