"For you formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, and that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them." - Psalm 139:13-16

Emma's Passing

Princess Emma recently, during treatment at Duke.


I'm struggling to type, heart heavy, tears in my eyes as I try to begin to articulate my feelings. Through the girls we've met so many amazing people. Chance encounters-in WalMart check out lines, at churches, hospital bedsides. For those few, precious moments your hearts touch-knowing a deep empathy for another's pain and concerns. God allows you to glimpse their deepest desires and hear their unspoken fears.
Through Rylee and later Kaymaen, we've learned the true meaning of 'bearing another's burdens.' Tonight our hearts are heavy for a family we met in passing, have emailed with, spoke with over the phone-but through our girls' illnesses God allowed our hearts to touch for those sacred moments.
Your child doesn't have to have the same life threatening illness to feel an unspoken bond. Any parent who has held their breath while waiting for their child to take their next feels it. Sitting by the hospital bed praying for a miracle, daring to hope, afraid to imagine the future- these parents understand it.
Her parents know she is safe in His arms, yet in the midst of this knowledge their own arms ache for their precious little girl.

Please pray for this sweet family-Charles, Karen, and big brother Logan.

If you have time, please visit their CaringBridge site and leave a note on their guest page. When words don't come easily, it's enough to say you are praying for them in the upcoming hours, days, and months.

Deb~

I will be praying for your friends and their loss. Your words in this posting touch my heart as I remember my Mom beside my sister's bedside in her last days and although my sister was 22 years old, my Mother's heart ached just the same as if she had been a small child or a baby. May God be with Emma's parents and brother. Thanks again for sharing and as always Ryan and I are keeping you guys and the girls all covered up in our prayers.

"For Thou didst form my inward parts; Thou didst weave me in my mother's womb. I will give thanks to Thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; wonderful are Thy works, and my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from Thee, when I was made in secret, and skillfully wrought in the depths of the earth. Thine eyes have seen my unformed substance; and in Thy book they were all written, the days that were ordained for me, when as yet there was not one of them."

Psalm 139:13-16
