Today is Sophia's Day!

It still doesn't feel real. We will be leaving for the hospital shortly. Today will be Sophia's birthday! I can't wait to meet her and love her, at the same time I am so scared for her and for our family.

I went to visit JoJo's resting place yesterday on the way home from work to ask him to watch over his baby sister. I can't believe that we are going through this again, but I know that our family is strong and we will get through what ever is thrown at us.

We will keep this site updated as much as possible.

  4. Far away from fear and death
    Do my children play;
    Never to know the sting of sin
    On the spotless soul;
    Never to know a single tear
    Nor stab of searing pain.

    In the Farher's arm are they,
    His face do they behold
    In arms of tender comfort
    They rest in loving cheer;
    Salty taste of tears
    Never to crease their face;
    Not burnt by scorching sun
    Nor chilled by thunderous storms.
    Untouched by early shadows
    And Haunting pangs of night,
    They giggle in golden warmth
    And snuggle in contented glee

    Lifed higher than dreams can go,
    They sore above
    The failings of earth
    And thrive in the love
    of the Father
    Whose tender grace sparkles
    And wonderous ways smile
    With endless delight

    Yet my arms feel empty.
    With painful chest
    I long to hold them
    to my breast;
    To see their smiling faces and ease my painful fears.
    Yet this I know:
    They are safe
    In the Master's care.
    And I shall see them face to face
    And hold them when I'm there.

    They've breezed their way to Paradise.
    How smooth their getting there;
    So free from blame and shame.
    More pain than them I've known,
    Yet our destiny's the same.
    Their journey there was easy;
    Long and hard is mine.
    But whether quick or long,
    We will meet again.

    Till then, my love, rest easy.
    Behold his face and rejoice
    Without a single fear.
    I shall come to you some day
    And you shall dry my tears,
    As I weep in joy
    To see your cheery face.
    And even now at times
    I think I hear your giggles,
    But rest, my loves, in his arms,
    Till I am with you there
