I don't even remember now how I came across it. I read about a place where parents who have lost children can go on a retreat. You may know about it, but thought I would send you the link. <br /><br />http://www.nancyguthrie.com/retreats/<br /><br />Christina Burton<br />North CarolinaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06995336955395020979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796487427937375263.post-45277317935814383582009-10-30T08:05:22.520-07:002009-10-30T08:05:22.520-07:00That last comment brought tears. Our lives really...That last comment brought tears. Our lives really are His. For His purposes. Unknown to us. Treasuring our health, our spouses, our loved ones, our sweet little ones. Surrendering ALL to His will. SO hard when you realize the reality of what surrendering EVERYTHING means. Terrifying. The human side of us wants to avoid the pain and suffering of loss. Walking past and giving "the look". Easier? Yes. Like Jesus? No. Give us courage Father, to serve others enduring pain and loss by using the spiritual gifts you have blessed us with. Bless us with courage to do what is uncomfortable and trust you to give us the words to say when we have no words. Make us more like you, Father.Lori Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845937319497103713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796487427937375263.post-7654124379902465052009-10-30T08:01:42.544-07:002009-10-30T08:01:42.544-07:00What those students did is amazing.

My husband is a High School PE teacher and a Football and Track coach. I know how these high schoolers can be sometimes. This is amazing to see. <br /><br />TayarraTayarrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15586941216957845246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796487427937375263.post-24783044152215252662009-10-30T07:42:43.164-07:002009-10-30T07:42:43.164-07:00Lindsay,
I have been following your blog for a lit...Lindsay,<br />I have been following your blog for a little while and I've only commented words of comfort and encouragement once or twice. This post brought me to tears. My heart aches for you guys. I have a 14 month old and I worried soooo much about SIDS with her, heck, I still worry. She is just now sleeping with a blanket in her crib. I still don't have the bumper pads in her crib, I just can't bring myself to put them in the crib. I don't understand what SIDS is and why it happens. I will never, ever understand as I know you feel the same way. I can't bring Ayden back but I can tell you that I pray for you all of the time. I pray that you find peace in all of this, peace in knowing that one day you will be reunited with Ayden. I pray for you to have the strength to make it through each day. I am so sorry this happened. It is not fair and I will never understand. My heart is with you and your husband.Tiffany Lockettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01829031933777808369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796487427937375263.post-71123947993056548692009-10-29T21:34:03.588-07:002009-10-29T21:34:03.588-07:00This is amazing!

I was touched by all of the many ways Ayden has been honored. Its just amazing to me. I love you so much and I hope things continue to get better.

At his funeral she got up and spoke. I do not know where she found the courage to do this, but the strength was heaven sent. She told a story about a little soul talking to God about why there was pain & suffering in the world & why God called some souls home sooner than others. God answered, to help people get their priorities straight. The little soul said to God, 'oh please let me be THAT soul" God replied, when I find the perfect parents for you, I will send you, but I will call you home before you or your loved ones may be ready, but you WILL see them again, they will always LOVE you & you will look over them even though they cannot see you~ the little soul said he still wanted to be THAT soul. "So God sent him to us. HE was THAT soul" his mother said. His mother continued with a letter she wrote him about if she could have gone to heaven & chose any soul to be her son she would have still chosen him, "If I would have known you were going to test my faith, I would have chosen you, If I would have known you would be taken before I was ready, I would have still chosen you, (the list went on) she ended by saying~ "I still choose you" I will pray for your peace and comfort.Mistyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04610246281031532974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1796487427937375263.post-15741678184289732262009-10-29T19:33:46.203-07:002009-10-29T19:33:46.203-07:00Those are very precious pictures of him playing wi...Those are very precious pictures of him playing with his feet. What a cutie pie. So many beautiful things have been done is his honor.<br />Your community has really shown their love for Ayden and their deep respect for you and your loss.<br />His initials on the football field along with the kids all in white flooded me with tears. Praying for your comfort.Debby@Just Breathehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685398064340027809noreply@blogger.com
