I am praying for your family. It's been 2 months since I had to let go of my precious Mary Grace - we had 7 hours with her.
ReplyDeleteI am praising God for the miracle of Joshua. The time you had with him must have been precious - I love the pictures on your blog that show the love and happiness you shared.
I agree with you and your friend, we are not created to handle death and that's why it's so hard.
I pray for God's peace to cover your hearts as you go through this.
With love in His name,
Kim
Praying for you today and so thankful that the flu is going away for Matt. I will be with you in spirit on the 19th as you celebrate Joshua's amazing life. Lifting you and your needs up to the Lord. Bless you guys.

I am so sorry for your loss. remember to be kind to yourself, nothing is wrong but everything will feel wrong. the comment about adam and eve earlier really touched me...I wish I had something like that when my daughter died
ReplyDeleteObviously, we won't be able to make it to Joshua's service, but we would still like to bless you. If you could e-mail me (when you get the time) your e-mail address, as we would like to ask if it is something you would like.
ReplyDeleteWe will be praying for you during this time. That special verses, songs and poems will come to mind, and that you will be able to rejoice in the midst of your grief.
wish we could be there with you to celebrate Joshua Matthew..little Captain...! sending hugs and we'll be pausing here during your service to pray...love Anna & John
ReplyDeleteHow I wish I could be there Susie. My heart is with you. We've been praying and will continue to pray over the coming months. My prayers won't let up....

I wanted to comment on what you had written the day before. "Adam fell that men might be; and men are, that they might have joy." The Lord DID intend for us to pass through death, for without death how would return to live with our Father in Heaven eternally? AFTER death is when our immortality begins. But more importantly, without pain and sorrow we would not know true love and joy. Without death, we can not appreciate life. Think of the quote, "I never said it would be easy; I only said it would be worth it." I know you're hurting so badly that you feel like your hurt will burst from your chest... But you WILL get through it.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are with you now and always. May God bring peace to your family. Cindy

My prayers are with you. I stumbled across your blog. I can't be there in person but I'll light a candle for Joshua's rememberance service. It's now been 8.5 months since my daughter got her ings. She lived for 23 short days. If you need anything even someone to talk to just drop me a line
ReplyDeleteSusie,
ReplyDeleteI will be praying here in California today at 4:30 PST for you as you celebrate Joshua's life with your loved ones. I continue to pray daily for you and for your broken hearts. May Joshua's little life touch more people than we could imagine. I know he sure touched mine and continues to do so. Love you guys.

I will be thinking of you all as the hour approaches here on the west coast. I know Joshua's service will be filled with love, joy and pain. I will ask for strenght and courage for you, and celebrate the time that he did spend on Earth, touching our lives through out the boundaries and distances.
ReplyDeleteYou will be missed Joshua, and you'll forever have a place in my heart.
Thinking of you and praying for you today as you celebrate the days of Joshuas life. He has meant so much to me as you have too. Thank you for sharing this journey with me.

You have an amazing story and I feel so blessed to have come across your beautiful family today. Your story has taught me a lot, being a mother of 3, and I'm truly thankful to have encountered someone so amazing, strong, and courageous. May God always be with you and your family. Joshua was, is, and will always be an agel in my eyes. I feel you were blessed to have had him in your life for the time he was here on Earth. May peace be with you and your family! Much love and Hugs! The Dioguardi's
