What milestones would have been achieved...and so on and so forth. The wondering never stops. It'll be 7 years for us......she was 5 mos old!

Tears flow. I pray for you and Nicol often. I never hear her gorgeous voice (played often in my home) that I don't stop and pray for you...that God would comfort you in your grief. Words seem empty. Many who you do not know hold you in their hearts and prayers. God bless you and keep you.<BR/><BR/>Elizabeth in IllinoisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029479726972180827.post-78703651558424592082009-03-02T20:26:00.000-08:002009-03-02T20:26:00.000-08:00Oh, my heart breaks for you right now. There's not...Oh, my heart breaks for you right now. There's nothing I can do to help ease the burden except to pray for heaven's embrace upon your sweet family. We wear our Luke reminder bands and pray for you guys throughout the day as we are led to. Although his time here was much too short, Luke has touched many people, including us, perfect strangers. Some day we will all rejoice together in our Father's house and get the chance to tell Luke and your family how you've changed our hearts for the better. Until that day, hold tight to the Lord and your sweet memories of little Luke. On my knees in prayer for your family tonight... <BR/><BR/>In His Grip,<BR/>AshleyAshley Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13002667057230685189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029479726972180827.post-72495329973829355062009-03-02T20:04:00.000-08:002009-03-02T20:04:00.000-08:00Blessings to your broken heart.Beautiful poem/lett...Blessings to your broken heart.<BR/><BR/>Beautiful poem/letter..... it hurts to see you guys hurt so much. I envisioned his smile each time you mentioned it. <BR/><BR/>I remember that stuck with me in one of your post when it all happened. You had said that he was in his swing, and sometimes you would walk right by him, but this morning you walked by him, he caught your eye, gave you a big bright eyed smile and you stopped in your tracks and kneeled down to kiss him. Not knowing it was your last day on earth to kiss him...... <BR/><BR/>I have that vision carved in my memory forever...... because of that, I never go a moment, day, night with embracing, kissing and holding my two children. Thank you for helping make me a better mother. <BR/><BR/>Praying for comfort on your heart and soul more tonight!<BR/><BR/>God Bless.Misty Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18289401488332917071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029479726972180827.post-50262303904330933642009-03-02T18:09:00.000-08:002009-03-02T18:09:00.000-08:00The loss of Lukie is powerful.

I don't know how,but you do. Tears trail down our faces as we hear (we want to hear) how it is in their hearts and minds as they are able to speak of Lukie being gone.Show up God please, I have know idea what that will look like for them....you do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029479726972180827.post-74600501814099207782009-03-02T17:46:00.000-08:002009-03-02T17:46:00.000-08:00Thanks for sharing your heart and hurt Greg. It is...Thanks for sharing your heart and hurt Greg. It isn't easy always putting yourself out there and having people judge your every word. Thank you for being willing to be open to the pain of your son leaving you before you felt ready, and the pain that people toss at you in their own pain. I really enjoy reading the cute things that Summer says...she seems to be a pretty incredible 2 1/2 year old. (I know what I am talking about too since I have 4 kids.) I pray for you all I hear your heart.<BR/>JohannahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
