For those who don't already know on May 2nd the Lord had other plans for our little family. It has been 12 days since we lost our little (boy) Luke and I can honestly say that this has been the most traumatic yet peaceful and eye-opening experience in my life. I have had time to reflect on how loving our Heavenly Father is and how blessed I have been. This experience has helped shape me into the kind of person, mother, friend, daughter and wife that I want to become.
Some things I have gained from this experience:
*I can not control everything in my life and that is okay
*I have a VERY loving,supportive and kind husband who I feel so blessed to be with
*The love from friends, family, neighbors and strangers is sometimes overwhelming
*The meaning of true charity and compassion
*The power of prayer
*What a blessing life truly is
