Prayers

I don't normally do this, but I am asking people to pray for this family. I just can't stop thinking about what they are going through. They are losing one of their twins to a neuroblastoma and they could use some prayers to get through this tough time. Tuesday is the same age as these guys so its really hitting me.

Thank you for posting about Tuesday. I love her and her family more than words can say and am so grateful for all the prayers they are receiving.
PS. We have twin girls who were born on the same day as your twins :)

Another MoM I know IRL sent me the link to their blog just yesterday. My heart breaks for them. I can not imagine how it would feel to lose one of my boys the way they are losing Tuesday. They are in our prayers.

I went on the blog tonight to see what brilliantly funny item you might have put on since the last time i looked. I went to Tuesday's blog and was saddened, and went to the beginning to read how they dealt with it from the beginning. After a while I couldn't handle it anymore and went back to the latest entries. Foolishly, that was when I realized that this painful journey had ended. Jen I wept out loud for a very long time. i couldn't breathe, i couldn't imagine the pain. I couldn't think of anything. fear rose in me like nothing i ever fealt before.

Emma began crying because she had lost her binkie, it was just an excuse, but i took advantage of the moment to pick her up and hold her. i know she was tired, but i couldn't put her down. i cried so long and so deep in her little shoulder. and prayed and prayed.

i don't know why things like this happen, but i wish they would stop. i feel something, but i can't even explain it.

I cried reading their blog last night and then tonight when I saw that she had passed. Things like this should not happen to kids - and I saw it every day when we went to Children's to visit Alex after he was born.

Hey Jen, My girls were born about the same time as Sean and Emma and are only a little younger than Tuesday. I can't even imagine what her family is feeling. It isn't right to lose a child so young. I was sobbing yesterday. I have been reading more today, and am fighting the urge to call off work and go pick up the girls from preschool.

Your husbands post was beautiful.

May God comfort Tuesdays family.
