Today I am writing with a very, very, very heavy heart. I really can't even put the words together to fully explain how heartbroken we feel. The news we received brought us all to our knees... crying and praying asking the question "Why??" Why and how does God take the life of an innocent child from her parents? This is something that we will never know but will have to trust in God for only He knows what He does and the reason He does it. Our 3 month old niece, Baby Martha, went to be with the Lord while she slept Thursday, January 3rd. Ashley and Gray need love and support now more than ever. We continue to pray for strength and prayer to wrap them everyday as they grieve and cope day by day. It isn't fair that Martha's life was so short as we were just beginning to get to know that contagious smile, smooch those sweet cheeks, and hear all her heart melting coos. However, it is never goodbye in the house of the Lord. It is see you later because we will all see her again. We will forever honor Martha's memory by telling Baker and Preston of their baby cousin that they only got to know for several weeks. Fly high sweet baby girl and know that we love you so much. We think of you everyday and we know you are watching over all of us.
I rely on two songs (
this song and this song) to help cope. They're absolutely beautiful...
