Our youngest left for the navy yesterday. I glance across the kitchen and there is his cap hanging on the back of the chair. My heart aches with missing him.
I am selfish in my sadness. Selfish and silly, I guess. I turn my thoughts to those who have told their children goodbye and they will not see them again until heaven.
Caleb's best friend, Brock, died last year on Thanksgiving Day. My heart hurts for his momma. She is missing her sweet boy.
My friend, Carla, lost her little girl, Asya, a 6 year old, eleven months ago today. Eleven months ago at this moment I was standing over Asya's little body telling her that I loved her ... telling her goodbye. This morning my heart is breaking for her momma.
Would you please join me in praying for these momma's who are missing their children? Their sorrow is great. Please pray that they will feel the Lord's embrace.

will console those mama's hearts.

say, "grief is grief, and heartache is heartache."

too. you can have thanksgiving with us!!!!!

Praying for all the mom's out there.
Cheri, praying for you during this time...didn't realize that Joe was in the Navy now. Wow, time flies! I remember holding him when he was a baby. Thinking about my own baby boys someday leaving the nest makes my stomach turn, but I am reminded that their todays and tomorrows are in God's hands. Blessings to you!
Thank you, Shonda! They grow so fast! Enjoy every minute! Love you!
Praying for these moms and many others who have lost children and who have children who are away from the Lord. Only the Lord Himself can bring the comfort needed....He is so faithful to do that.
