we did not get our miracle we prayed for. my daughter had to endure 12 hours of labor to deliver a tiny boy who died when his umbilical cord wrapped around his neck and cut off his oxygen supply. we were all devastated, but the nurses were a great help. they took little William Edward out and cleaned him, and dressed him in a small gown and cap and brought him back to us for closure. we all got to hold him and grieve over his passing, but we all know that he is in a better place now. it will be difficult, but we will make it thru the graveside services tomorrow, and still be able to go on with our lives. knowing that he did not suffer, and is now free to walk the golden streets of Heaven, and is waiting for us to join him will get us thru. i got help thru a dream i had on saturday night. i saw little William in Heaven, chasing butterflies in a field of flowers, skipping rocks on the Crystal Sea, and riding raindrops for fun. he spoke to me, telling me how much he loved it there, and that he's waiting for me. it's really hard, but i'll make it thru this valley also. i will not lose my faith in God, and i will not let this stop my witness. this just gives me a far better reward when this journey is over. though the valley is deep and dark, there is a mountain top ahead, and with God's help and guidance, i and my family will get thru this. thanks for all your prayers, thoughts, and well wishes. may i never forget to return the support you have shown me. again, thanks for your help in bearing this cross. with you helping me carry it, it was not the burden it could have been. be blessed-Bill

Bill, my sincere, heartfelt condolances to you and your family. I can truley emphasize with you guys as I have been there myself on more than one occasion.
We get past it, but we never really get completly over it nor do I completly want to. I trust the Lord is working out all things to our good . . .even tho sometimes I can't see past this trust.
I'm not real good at expressing these things so I just say what I feel and hope that you guys keep your affections on Christ and that His blessings will lift you from your troubles as they have me.
2Co 1:3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
2Co 1:4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

I may not get to be on this site often, I am very sorry for your loss, the death of a child is always a terrible thing to endure for anyone, he is in a better place.
Sounds like a carbon copy of what my daughter went through this last Easter. It is very sad and very hard to hold that little on in your arms knowing that you'll never see him grow. I officiated the funeral, I pray to God that is the last time I will ever have to do that for one of my own. Our thoughts and prayers are with your entire family. You are so right my friend, he will never have to face this hard world, he just stepped into glory. Bob <><

be blessed-Bill Thanks for the powerful update and post. C7 I will be praying for the healing of Amy and her husband.
I don't pretend to know the answer to "why"..instead...I'll recall Jobs' words:..."the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away..blessed be the Name of the Lord ..."
i've had to rely upon that more than I have cared too.... it helps in the most basic way.
my condolences to your family......
He is the God of all comfort. I just experienced the loss of my Father, so I can relate somewhat. I miss him every day, and yet he is running and exploring through the vast resources of heaven's riches and understanding hwt aI can only dream about.I love the dream you had, and I believe it came from the Lord. You will see him a one day as a mature man --one you would have been proud to have known here.
never a valley so dark
