a little bit of sadness


As many of you know, Dave's dad is not doing well. He was diagnosed 8 weeks ago with a very aggressive brain cancer and he is losing his battle rapidly. We want our baby to have something to cherish related to his/her grandpa. Last night we decided we needed a picture of grandpa's hand holding our little one. Although this seemed a little odd (grandpa is not very coherent at this time) we knew that our time with him is disappearing quickly. It is a very challenging time for our family as we grieve this impending loss. Please continue to pray for all of us. Thank you

Love you, friend! And while I can't imagine exactly what you're experiencing, please know that I do understand how hard it can be, and that you're in my thoughts and prayers!

A little update on this topic... Dad lost his battle on Dec. 10. At the visitation, Dave and I put a pink and blue rose with baby booties attached in the casket. We will miss our dad very much and wish he could be here to welcome our new little one but we are glad he is in heaven with our other babies!
