Crying my eyes out AGAIN.
Last week my heart was so heavy for the Chapman’s…today another family.
For years Jim and I have considered Selah one of our absolute favorite groups.?? I have missed Nicole but I love Amy Perry too.?? Todd Smith has such an incredible voice – Jim and I both agree he is our favorite male vocalist.
Anyhow, earlier this year Todd and Angie found out that their fourth child was not likely to survive to birth.?? To their surprise, they got to hold their baby girl for two precious hours before she went home to Jesus on April 7th.
This week, Nicole (who is Todd’s sister by the way) lost her 2 month old little boy Luke to what I am assuming is SIDS.?? Two infants – little cousins – gone to heaven within a couple months of one another.
Angie wrote a song (will appear on their next album) sung by Amy Perry that is incredible but if you watch it be prepared to cry cry cry.??
I told my mom today that, selfishly, in these moments my grief over losing 10 babies resurfaces.?? All those little ones that I carried for such a short time and lost before I could hold them.?? I think mine had red hair too.
Here is the song by Angie:

Doni, I know how you feel. I have been crying the same tears for the last week. Tears for them, for SCC’s manager that writes his blog on how much it hurts and she wasn’t even “his”. I have been there. Twice. And then there was my own. Tears. Prayers. Few words but lots of “Daddy God . . .”
this is heart-wrenching!
I have been just heartbroken over this too. I’m sure you have read it but I have been keeping up with Angie’s blog
http://audreycaroline.blogspot.com/ so many tears for this family. It reminds me a little bit of how we all met you Doni, through your blog. She’s a lot like you very real and such a heart for Jesus even during this most awful, difficult time for them. They have been on mind so much.
Oh my goodness. . . I posted before I watched that video. This is so selfish of me but I almost wished I hadn’t watched it. I have read her blog and prayed but that made it so much more real and I really can’t imagine that kinds of loss and now her nephew.
I am sorry you are grieving today too. I know this has to be hard. . .
My heart is so sad. I feel her pain. My prayers go out to them all, you all.
Lots of Love.
I meant to comment when I read this over the weekend but I forgot…. Thank you for posting that beautiful song. I needed to hear it this weekend and posted the lyrics on my blog.
