Grief

On Wednesday, I posted this:

"Today, I read a facebook update about my friend's son...the one who is two weeks older than Olivia and battling lymphoma. He recently had a bone marrow transplant, and today he is battling with some sort of mucousitis and is having trouble breathing."

Early this morning, little Isaac went home to Jesus, after an heroic battle with cancer that lasted 18 months...much of his short life.

He was the only child of his parents and the only grandchild on both sides of his family. It would be devastating to lose a child whether you had ten kids or two. But his mother struggled with infertility as did HER mother, both of whom have a history of some of the same reproductive maladies that I have faced. Isaac was a sweet, sweet gift. I cannot imagine what they are all going through. I cannot.

Please pray for Isaac and his family. Let's all help lift them up during this unimaginable time of grief.

Oh no! I feel so stupid, as I was catching up on posts and didn't check for the latest updates.
This is terrible. I will be praying for his sweet family.
Little Isaac, pray for us!
