Oh my

There are some amazing websites out there that allow families of terminally or severely ill children to give blog-type updates on their kiddos' conditions without having to send out emails every five minutes. I was blessed to be able to follow one for a family member last year and had been keeping up on another for the past while as well. Not a child I knew personally, just a story I had heard about.

I hadn't read Liam's update in a while and when I clicked on an update this morning, I was shocked to read that he had passed away a month ago. Oh my heavens. His wonderful mama was sharing how they were coping in the midst of incredible grief. Grief only someone who has walked that path can possibly understand. Wow.

Lord, please watch over and protect the parents who are grieving losses like these. Only You can heal such deep wounds. Please be their Prince of Peace and help them to look forward to eternity. In Jesus' name, Amen.
