Dearest People,

Thank you for your prayers and emotional support. Unfortunately, after four days of touch and go, the twins were delivered at less than 23 weeks. While they survived but a few hours, I nonetheless thank God for the blessing of that short time.

My wife endured immense pain and discomfort, as well as emotional ups and downs, for four days. She put in an effort that can be described only as heroic and selfless. This day she is my hero.

Again, thank you all, and if I can't find the effort to thank each and every one of you right now, please understand that it isn't for lack of my appreciation.

Bud

"This day she is my hero."

We feel that way too. God bless these little angels and God bless you both.

Heavenly Father, it is with sorrowing hearts that we return to thank You for the brief life of these precious babies. You have marked their time upon this earth ... You have known the love and anticipation of their parents ... You see their very deepest grief. The answers are hid from us, O God, but Your love is not. Bathe Smedley and his beloved wife with heavenly comfort, for Father God watches over their children unto the time when You gather this family again. Greatly are You to be praised. In the midst of want or plenty, Blessed be the Name of the Lord. Amen ...

You needn't reply to any of us, Bud. We know you and your wife are in extreme pain and sorrow for the great loss you have endured and you should focus on supporting one another.

Just know that there are thousands of prayers going up daily to God and your little angels who sit with Him and now help Him watch over you.

Truly and deeply, I am so sorry for your sorrow.

I'm so sorry to learn of the loss of your babies. God be with you and your wife. Prayers for both of you - that the Lord will bless you in the years to come.

I was just telling my husband tonight that we hadn't heard from you. Thanks for taking the time.
