In August of 2015 my 1st grandson Skylar Jason was born. Four very short weeks later he passed away from SIDS. At the funeral my son recounted how he and my daughter-in-law danced alone in the morning light. And he promised that they he would dance with his wife again. This morning at about dawn we got a call from him to say that he has kept his promise, and that they were dancing in the dawn light again. I am equal parts overjoyed and terrified. I ask for two prayer requests, first one of thanksgiving. This is truly our miracle. When I heard the news, the hymn "Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee" came flooding through my mind. Second, may I ask for prayers for the health and well being of the mother and child. Mindy has a heart condition and this will be a high risk pregnancy. Prayers are all I can ask from my fellow Freepers, and I need them more than I ever have.
Prayers for Mindy and the pregnancy.

My dearest pollywog, I feel your pain and will pray for your family as well and often. It is the worst blow imaginable to have to bury a precious infant child. May God bless you and keep you and your whole family safe in His loving arms during this terrible time of grief and healing. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.
Skylar’s loving Grandmother and 75thOVI’s wife.
May God love them!

Lord Jesus Christ, our Redeemer and Healer,
We pray in thanksgiving for the gift of eternal life that allows us to persevere and combine our grief with joy. Rest the soul of Thy servant Skyler with the saints and the angels and give his parents joy in the firm knowledge of uniting with him again one day.
We ask to protect the life and health of Thy servant Mindy; heal her from all disease and bless her parents.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, amen.
I speak from personal experience.
