a while away

I feel like I have said these words so often lately.

Pray for my friends.

They are hurting... deep, gut-wrenching, can't stop crying kind of hurt.

Lauren and Scott said goodbye to baby Michael late last night.

He is with Jesus.

and my Caden.

I have cried all day long today. Can't stop.

I told a friend earlier today,that although I have been where Lauren is, I still have no words.  Only hugs, prayers and Jesus gets you through.

But mostly Jesus.

I hurt for Lauren and Scott. I remember the hurt... the ache of loss.  The Caden shaped void in my life.

Now they have a Michael shaped void.

The only thing that fills a void like that is HOPE.

I will see Caden again..I just have to wait awhile.

Michael is just a while away now too.

Maybe they are together... giggling at their silly mama's who  have no idea the wonderfulness that is their life.

Because they are alive...

SO alive.

just little a while away.

16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.

18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

{1 Thess 4:16-17}
