Seven Months

Today is our angel's 7 month birthday. Just 7 months ago, the only thing we knew about HLHS was that is was really bad. We never thought it would affect our lives so much. We never thought that we would lose a child to the awful CHD. We never thought we would have an angel. But though we miss Luke terribly, we are so thankful that he is a part of our lives. Each day, Tommy and I thank God for the blessings He has given us. We are so thankful that God blessed us with our HLHS miracle and we are so thankful that He has given us the strength to get through the tough times. We pray that God continues to bless us and that He makes us stronger each day.

This week has been a tough one with James' diagnosis of an omphalocele. But we are praying like CRAZY and we are thanking God for this wonderful gift. We have faith that we can get through the tough times once again and that He will see us through. Please join us in prayer for our unborn miracle and please know that we are so thankful for all of you. We hope you have a great week and God Bless you all!

We just finished doing the same...thanking God for the amazing gift He gave us in our angel. It's not what we would have chosen, Bernie, but it's what we've been given...I am so proud of you and how real, hopeful, and faithful you are in light of all you've gone through. You encourage and inspire me. Thank you for sharing little Luke with us, too! We love him and are so thankful that he's keeping our Annabelle company until we meet again...
Love to you~ Rebecca

Thinking about you today, Bernie...the 18th...Luke's Angel Day...and knowing he & Bella Boo are celebrating together while we are missing them so much.
Love to you~ Rebecca

Bernie, just wanted to stop in and say we are thinking of you. We had the open house at Little Saints tonight. Hope all is well with baby James.
