Wordless Wednesday: 10 Years Ago

Since this year is the tenth anniversary of when we lost our fourth baby boy, I thought I'd post this photo. Some of you may think this is sad. I think it is precious. Not exactly wordless, they never really are. But it does speak for itself...


July 4, 1998 Paul Christian, "Little Christian", was born. He was only the size of a Kleenex box but was perfectly formed. We pray God will continue to use his short life, and it's impact on us, to touch other broken hearts.

I have had ten years to work through this, the Hardest Thing in my life, and now mostly view the day as a precious time to remember but don't feel so sad. Some of you are newer in your grief. If you have recently suffered a loss, or are anticipating one, I pray you will be blessed with the abiding peace and profound grace that only God can give. Sometimes holidays, when everyone else is celebrating, are particularly painful. I'd love to lend an ear (via the written word) and to pray for you. Leave a comment or email me.

I remember the day we found out about your loss. What has clung to my memory more, was the day I viewed your memory book and cried even though I didn't truly understand.

I understand now.

There is a part of me that is numb, but I think, like with a limb that falls asleep, it will awake from just a bit of effort and shaking up!

You are a strength to those who feel the pain.

It is a precious picture. I'm nearly 7 years removed from my losses and understand exactly what you mean.
