Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Matt. 5:4
The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Ps. 34:18
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more. Rev. 21:4
May He grant you your hearts desire, and fulfill all your plans. Ps. 20:4
And after you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, support, strengthen, and establish you. 1 Pet. 5-10
Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly. Is. 58:8
Rob and I live in Northern California and have been married since 2002. We have three daughters in heaven: Makenna Hope who was stillborn December 15, 2007 and our twins Alexis Cailen and Ashlen Selah who were born and died November 4, 2008. Our little miracle, Benjamin Samuel, was born on his sister's 2nd birthday, December 15th 2009 and we got to bring him home! :)
So my mom and dad planted a memorial tree for Makenna in their front yard. There is also a stone that has her name engraved on it. I think it looks really nice. Thanks mom and dad!
How very thoughtful of your parents! That's really awesome. I often forget, in my grief, that my parents are grieving for my loss AND theirs. What a beautiful tree... am I weird or does it look so "girly" too!? ((hugs))

The tree is so pretty! How sweet of them to do that for Makenna. I'm thinking of you as your due date approaches.
