My heart is broken

I know I asked you all for prayers for Kate and Madeline the other day but I am asking again. I am crying as I write this. I cannot imagine what their parents must be going through. If you're comfortable, leave them notes of support. I know how much this means to us when we're in the middle of a crisis (not that we've ever been near this level of crisis).

Update: Little Kate passed away this morning in her mama's arms. :( I am so very sad for her parents. My heart won't stop aching. Please keep them in your prayers.

Another update: Madeline passed away yesterday (Wednesday) as well. What a sad week. Please pray for peace for her parents. Thank you.

I can't even believe what I was reading about Kate...she made me cry last night. I would fly out there in a heart beat...but, Isaac has other plans for us. I have plenty of room on my credit cards if you need to fly out to hug her...just let me know! It's up to you and Samantha to keep up with us...I'll be a basket case by this weekend...Maybe you and Eli should plan on taking a US tour....dropping by all the heart mama's to let him cheer us up! Showing our little ones how to eat and growl!

Samantha said...

My heart is also broken...as for Mrs. Kathy Roller...you need to stay focused for us all on that sweet Isaac...tell that boy to shape up! And yes, Eli does need to take a US tour and teach our boys how to eat!!!!!!

Much love,
Samantha

Thank you for sharing the stories of Kate and Madeline. I have been following their sites ever since you posted about them, and we are heart broken for their families. I am definitely hugging my boys a little tighter. This year has really taught me how precious life is, and the great gift we are entrusted with when we become parents. Know we think about you guys all the time and look forward to the day when our little ones will get to play together.

Love,
the Yoders

How terribly sad....
Makes you hug your own and realise when they are being so terribly naughty that I am lucky that they are so healthy...
My thoughts go out to them..
