I've learned something from this --- there are so, so many threads I have read over the years asking for prayers and comfort, and each and every time I type the words 'Praying for you. I am so sorry....' I feel those few words are so inadequate and fall so short of what the hurting person needs.........BUT

 

let me tell you, those few simple words, the hug emoticon, just knowing that another person is offering comfort and perhaps praying, is just an enormous blessing.

 

From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU so much for your comforting words and kind thoughts. THANK YOU! :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:

 

I just spoke with Stacey on the phone. She and her husband will see the specialist this afternoon - Mario's parents will accompany them (I feel so badly for them - this was their first grandchild {2nd marriage for my dd} ).

 

Stacey will be induced and will deliver today or tomorrow and she and Mario are planning a service. Dh, the kids are I are getting ready to travel to NJ to help with the grand-daughters (7 and 4 -- Allison, 7, is understandably heartbroken) and be there for Stacey and her husband and his family.

 

I conveyed to Stacey the prayers and comforting wishes that have been extended on this board, and the experiences from those of you who have had something similar happen (I actually had the same thing happen before dd11 was born) -- your kind words, experiences and prayers are much appreciated and she asked me to say a huge thank you to everyone.:grouphug:

 

So, as the kids and I try to figure out what is going on here, when we will travel, what activities we will not attend the next few days and what activities we can attend, I still covet your prayers and kind thoughts -- lifting up our family in that way is so very much appreciated and we do feel it here.

 

Blessings and travel mercies to everyone here who is traveling for the holiday, prayers to everyone who is experiencing sadness, and hugs filled with hope to everyone else -- this board has had so much sad news recently.:grouphug:

 

Thank you all.:grouphug:

 

 

 

 

Marianne, So very sorry to hear of this. Prayer for you! Sheryl <><

:grouphug: There are many times I see a prayer request, read it, pray about it, but don't comment on the thread because I feel the words sound trite and inadequate. I'm encouraged to hear it helps, even if it's just hugs.

 

Your daughter and family continue in my thoughts and prayers.

 

Peace,

Cindy.

When I went and saw all the posts after taking my mom to the ER and updating I cried... I sobbed and I was so grateful to everyone that took the time to think of us.

 

Even a smiley conveys so much more than can be imagined.

I must chime in here -- I should go to sleep but I have to say this:

 

I KNOW, I absolutely KNOW that our family is being lifted up in prayer and in kind comforting thoughts by SO many wonderful people. Today was not easy, we had some very sad, weepy moments, but at the end of the day (literally) everyone did have some peace, didn't feel as ripped apart as we did yesterday, and knew that we were being buoyed by something we could only attribute to prayer and kindness. I know that we will have ups and downs and that for Stacey and Mario it will be a different process as they grieve and heal. But for those of us who are their support system, I feel so much better equipped to minister to them.

 

So, thank you for your prayers and your thoughts offering comfort.:grouphug::grouphug:

When my Dad died last year, I was really surprised to find out comforting kind words could be. I honestly would not have thought so. But for whatever reason, cards and calls from people in "real life" and expressions of sympathy even here meant a lot to me.

 

I promised myself I would not forget that, but even so, sometimes I don't write the notes I should or say the things I should.

 

Anyway, I am very sorry for your daughter and her husband and her girls, who must be quite bewildered by this. May God's peace rest on all of you.

It's always so wonderful when we can offer a praise report in the middle of our tribulation. I have so much love for you and I'm praying for you all. It's good to know that our prayers are being answered, even now.
