Amy Wilhoite Died
I saw the post a few minutes ago and I just stopped crying. It's been a long time since I prayed so earnestly for someone to live, and they still died far too soon in my opinion. I didn't know Amy Wilhoite, I only stumbled on her blog a year ago as she detailed her expereince with cancer. She has a son who is almost the same age as my girl, and my heart broke for her when I thought about what her son and husband would go through without her. It's hard to lose a mother, no matter what the age. So, it is with a very heavy heart that I think about her passing into heaven. I don't grieve for Amy anymore, for her fears for her family living without her are absolved. She is in heaven and she has nothing but joy and completeness with Christ.
I know that if I died, my husband would be able to find another wife and mother for my children. He is a very good man and there are scores of wonderful women in the world who would be delighted to marry him and adopt my children as their own. So, I don't have that worry. What I worry about is entirely selfish. I worry about my own pain as I contemplate what my family would go through if I died. It must be so hard to think about that aspect- that my death would bring such loss, pain, tears and an empty place in my children's hearts. There are so many things I would never get to tell them. That is so hard to think about.
On another note...possibly in the same key: Baby Nathan is struggling at the hospital. He is really struggling to breathe, and he is touch and go. His dad got to hold him recently, and it was very hard for him since his son is so fragile. Please pray for this little family as they go through this trial by fire...and pain. Please, please pray.
