I spent a lot of time in tears this week…

May 4, 2007 by Janice

I have a box of Kleenexes (now almost empty) sitting next to my laptop. With Heather’s surgery, and all the waiting and praying and crying, I have been very emotional.

So when I stumbled on this post about a tiny baby name Allison Grace at a blog called Ramblings for Life, well the tears just started pouring.

Children shouldn’t die. Mothers shouldn’t die. There should be a law that keeps us together until we are all old and ready to cope with parting.

So today I want to let you know about this blogger and her precious baby that only lived for 101 days. I want to give you the chance to go and read about a little life that was far too short and send her mother love and hugs and prayers.

I know it is only a little thing – but I am sure some cyber love will touch Alexis while she grieves.

Alexis – there are no words. I am so beyond sorry for your loss.

And little Allison Grace – Happy Birthday – I know heaven is keeping you smiling forever.

    I can’t read the story right now. I just can’t – way too emotional…but I thank you for bringing it to our attention. For now I will pray, and will stop by to visit when I emotionally can.

    Very touching story. I read those and thank God for my blessings. Also, I wanted to tag Susan and tag Janice for my very first tag, for a meme. Hop over to Striving and let me know.

    I read her post about Allison when she first posted it and was blown away by the peace that radiates from her writing. I was/am inspired.

    I can’t, don’t want to imagine dealing with this. I visited Alexis.

    Not long ago I read a similar blog about a young couple’s first baby boy who lived and died within about 3 months. These parents’ strength is amazing, beautiful, inspiring in sharing their stories.

    The thought of losing one of my babies is one of my worst fears. My heart cries with those moms who have had to endure such sorrow 🙁

    I have been reading Alexis’s blog since the Blog Party and I can vouch for her. I didn’t know about Allison Grace until this post, as she is so full of joy now with her other children, but my heart broke to read the story. Alexis is a wonderful mother, a beautiful woman and seems like a fun girl to hang out with! Check her out for sure!
