My prayer for you is that your Heavenly Father lead you through this season of grief, and loss, and that you allow Him to comfort your hearts with the blessed assurance that Forrest will rejoice with you on that sweet day of no more parting.

[Saundra Duffy]

How sweet of you to tell your story and to offer your words of wisdom. You are a sweetheart. God bless you. I'm sure you helped this family a lot.

There is NO ONE who can understand like someone who has "been there". I am so sorry for your loss. Your advice was not only compassionate and loving.. but excellent.

Consider this my "card" to you.. your child was loved dearly. What a blessing you are to Brandon and your precious daughter..and I can see he was a precious angel in your life.

I'm sure this sparked the pain again,.. and yet you came and offered your love.

I'm positive your words touched many people tonight. Thank you...

I'm so sorry, Redcloak, for the pain you and your family are going through. Just hold your wife and little girl. The best thing you can do for them, you've already done. You're a good, strong, Christian.

We're all here for you. And indeed, prayers from all of us.

My prayers are with you and you family!

I sent this to redcloak, but I want to share it with all of you. My wife and I lost a baby girl 2 and a half years ago. It hurts. We found this poem, which brings tears to my eyes, yet comforts me every time I read it.

The Tiny "Rosebud" That God Picked to Bloom in Heaven
The Master gardener from heaven above
Planted a seed in the garden of love
and from it there grew
a rosebud small
that never had time
to open at all,
for God in his perfect and all His wise way
chose this rose for his heavenly bouquet
and great was the joy of this tiny rose
to be the one our Father chose
to leave earth's garden for one on high
whose roses bloom always
and never die....
so, while you can't see your precious rose bloom,
you know The Great Gardener from the "Upper Room"
is watching and tending this wee rose with care,
tenderly touching each petal so fair...
so think of your darling with the angels above
secure and contented and surrounded by love,
and remember God blessed and enriched your lives, too
for in dying your darling brought Heaven close to you!

I have yet to become a father; I can only imagine the joy that your daughter brings you, and the pain you're feeling right now for your son. You and your family will be in my prayers tonight.

[Saundra Duffy]

What a lovely poem. Thanks for sharing it with all of us and especially our wonderful FReeper who is hurting tonight.

[~EagleNebula~]

Thank you! Thank you for the "card", and your kindnesses!! They will be remembered.

"I would like to ask that prayers be said for my wife's OB/Gyn" "He's known my wife for over 20 years and this hit him hard as well."

After reading your post, and seeing the kind of person you are and that your sweet wife must be, I find it no wonder it hit him so hard. We do care deeply for our patients. They become like family to us. I will indeed pray for your Doctor too. Done deal. He sounds like a wonderful Doctor!!

[Vets_Husband_and_Wife]

That is indeed beautiful. What a beautiful testimony to your little daughter. Thank you so much for sharing it. I found it extremely comforting and poignant.

God Bless you.. your loss was such a short time ago!! I am truly so sorry.

[Victoria Delsoul]

I'm so sorry.

Prayer for God's Protection

As you arise today, may the strength of God pilot you,
the power of God uphold you, the wisdom of God guide you.
May the eye of God look before you, the ear of God hear you,
the Word of God speak for you.

May the hand of God protect you, the way of God lie before you,
the shield of God defend you, the host of God save you.
May Christ shield you today.

Christ with you, Christ before you, Christ behind you,
Christ in you, Christ beneath you, Christ above you,
Christ on your right, Christ on your left,
Christ when you lay down, Christ when you sit,
Christ when you stand, Christ in the heart of everyone who thinks of you,
Christ in the mouth of everyone who speaks of you,
Christ in every eye that sees you, Christ in every ear that hears you.

Love and prayers to you and your wife. I'm so sorry for your loss. I hope it helps to know that others are helping to carry your burden.
