Loss

Last night I found out a friend's baby was born at 21 weeks and passed away. The little 14.2oz beautiful baby boy was born and lived for 2 hours. As elegant as his mother wrote, "he was born and we held him until the Lord took him home." How precious is that. She is a truly, remarkable woman. She has two children at home, a husband and a full time job. I have seen my friend light up a the mention of her children. She was so looking forward to welcoming this child in the world with her new husband. We wonder some times why life is so difficult. We just do not know. Events in our life make up who we become, how we act, who we love and how we live. I pray that my friend and her family will be able to grieve for their loss and then celebrate the new chapter for him, an Angel with God. My friend, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
