You keep track of all my sorrows. You have collected all my tears in your bottle. You have recorded each one in your book.I am so thankful that Jesus saves our tears and knows our grief. As we weather this storm I can only keep my eyes fixed on Him until the waves of grief and loss subside. But, the coming and going of the tide will always be a reminder of our sweet little Margot.
I wanted so badly to hold her, cuddling her in my arms and looking into her face, studying her every feature and marveling once again at new life. It's what all grandparents look forward to in those first moments.
There will be a day. I look forward to that day when I will see her for the first time.
No more tears. Ever again.

what a blessing the word can be - our prayers are with you!
Gwen, Gary & I continue to lift you all up in our prayers. Your right, Jesus is the only one to bring us comfort. So thankful for His word that speaks to us in our joys and our sorrows.
Our hearts are truly broken for you all. We are praying for His peace passing all our feeble human understanding to be with you all today and in the difficult times ahead.
The tears in the bottle Psalm has always been one of my favorites...
I kept crying when I see the photos. She is such a beauty. I cannot imagine your pain. Or Josh/Kari's....We're praying.
My friend....can't imagine how your grandma/mom heart feels right now. I don't have the words...wish I could give you a big, long hug. All I know when I sure don't 'get it' is that Jesus lives and because of that - we can face tomorrow. Praying for your tomorrows. I love you.

Oh, Gwen, as I said in an earlier post, words fail me. I cannot express my sorrow for your loss. Just know we hold you in our hearts and pray for God's peace and rest to pour over you like a cleansing fountain.
We love you so very much.
Praying for your family daily.... Thinking of you so much in the midst of all this sorrow.
Love & prayers.
