New song on Playlist....

I had written this song down a few months ago but, did nothing with it. Then tonight I decided to blog and change my songs. This song just came to mind and I of course looked it up. I am a Casting Crowns fan but, had never heard this song. I clicked on it in playlist and it started to play and I of course started to cry. I love this song and I hope that after the 1st time hearing it and crying that you will hear the powerful words.
I have really been struggling with birthdays and if you have had one I am sorry~ every time I try to buy a card I loose my mind. I am not sure why this is so hard but, my sweet husband has not received a birthday card, an anniversary card or presents from me. I have tried many times for him and many other people but, cannot do it. I am sorry!
This of course, leads into more fears that I have regarding the upcoming holidays that are looming around the corner at me. I pray that GOD gives me the strength to make it through them and be strong but, you never know since cards seem impossible for me to purchase.

We also went to the cemetary this past weekend to find another baby buried by Sterling. In case you have lost count this is 7 in six months. This is such an outrageous event and I am horrified by it! I am so sad that another family has to be enduring our journey with us.

Something that has really been weighing on my mind is our parents. I want to know how you are all holding up? There is really no support out there for grandparents and I know that you feel the loss for two. I also know that the loss is different than mine and so many times you all feel like you have to be strong for us. Is there anything that you all need or anything that we can do to show our support for you all?

On a very good and positive note.....Beth from the Ronald McDonald house is going to ask the board to allocate money to our Healing Garden so that we can get all of the items that we want for the garden i.e. custom bronze life-size statues (we have a vision of this to be of 4 children playing and it will feature Serenity and Sterling together), our fence, arbor, pavers, concrete benches, remaining grasses and flowers. We still have a lot to do but, the garden is really coming along and we are still making progress day by day. Chris, Beth, Susan, Aaron, Lyn and all of the volunteers are really moving this project along. It will be such a bittersweet day when the dedication comes around.

Happy Birthday yesterday! Hope your day was ok? I hope that your family did something special for you and that you remembered Sterling in a very special way. :)
