We received this news earlier today while we were at Disneyland from my cousin (in-law - or however that works - she is awesome and I totally consider her a very close friend and cousin). Tim and I have been spared the trial of having to go through the lost of a child out of shear mercy from God. However, my cousin and her sister-in-law's brother's wife is definitely in need of some prayer and uplifting. It's hard not to question God when things don't go they way WE think they should. And it's even harder not to argue back when we know and believe what God gives us is what's best for us. So, it is with a very heavy heart that I am asking for prayer for this family. Here's what she blogged today...
Hi friends...it is with a very heavy heavy heart that I write to you today to tell you that our twin boys, Owen Timothy and Cooper James, were born today at only 21 weeks. I am not going to go into detail now but will later...I just wanted you all to know that we are very sad and missing them already. They both lived for exactly 19 beautiful minutes. And we enjoyed every minute with them. They are now in Heaven with Jesus and their big sister Emmalee. Friends...I can not tell you how much my heart is hurting right now...but I have to cling to the promise that God gives to us...He will not give us more than we can bear. Jon and I have been asked to walk down this dark road yet again...and we will...this time I think it will be harder...but God is good...we know that...we cling to that...I am going to go now. I will post more later along with pictures of our beautiful boys...two boys...can you believe it! I thought for sure there was a girl in there! Oh how we love them so much and are missing them so. Please pray. And pass this blog on...we believe God is giving us a story to share and we want everyone in on it! Much love with a heavy heart...Ali
