I don't know

How do I go on when my world has fallen apart?

Why must I say goodbye to my child when our life together has only just begun?
How can I be brave when my worst fears have come true?
How can my eyes physically produce this many tears?
What can I do to feel better when nothing can change what has happened?

I don't know.

I DO know that little Miles is a part of our family now and forever, and I will be with him for eternity.
I know that Heavenly Father loves me, Dave, and our children and has a plan for our family.
I know that I am surrounded by prayers, fasting, thoughts, support, and love from everyone we know.
I know that I am honored to be the mother to a beautiful baby boy who is too perfect for this imperfect world.
I know that when I feel like I can't face another day, the Lord answers my prayers through each person who gives me courage, strength, and faith to endure.

Thank you for being that person. Thank you for each hug, note, prayer, thought, and bit of love. Not only do I appreciate it more than you know, I think I need it more than I know.

Holly, I have cried for you and your family so much these last few days since I heard the news. I know we need to stay positive, but it is truly unfair. I have loved our lunch dates over this past year. You have helped me more than you know by your example and positive attitude about life.
