I ca...Leza,<BR/><BR/>You don't know me and I don't know you. I came across your blog as I was "jumping from the blog of one friend to the blog of another". I'm not sure why, but I so enjoy reading blogs even from people that I don't even know. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, your's caught my eye and I began reading (please forgive me if it seems like a breach of confidentiality!). Dear Baby Strayer....wow, I wonder what this mom is saying to her precious baby I thought. So I read and read and read through your last couple of blogs and my heart reached out to you. You see, I lost a baby too. Not to miscarriage, I actually carried full term knowing that Andrew probably wouldn't live and if he did, he'd be deformed in multiple ways. He was born on November 3, 1998 and he lived 5 minutes short of two hours. He actually passed away in my husbands arms. He was beautiful. He had all 5 toes and all 5 fingers and his face was beautiful. I'm so thankful for the ob nurses that took pictures of him and gave them to me. We had a full funeral for him and his casket was so small. He looked just like his Nana (my husband's mother). Anyway, I say all that to say, my heart goes out to you. I will pray for you as the Lord brings you to my mind. Please know that your baby is in the arms of Almighty God and you WILL see him again!!!! He WILL know who you are and you WILL know who he is!!! I don't believe that God took him from you just like I don't believe God "took" my Andrew. Miscarriage is something that is a very tragic event, but I personally do NOT believe that God TOOK him from you. The word says that God came to GIVE life and life more abundantly. If your heart is to be a mother then God knows that because He put that desire IN YOU! He will fulfill it! I encourage you to BLESS God in the middle of your pain and as you worship Him regardless of the circumstances, you'll see your joy return. Please forgive me for being so forward, but since the days following us burying Andrew, we have always endeavored to encourage anyone going through something like this. If you'd like to "talk" more about this you can email me at jshaffer@cc911ema.com <BR/><BR/>As I said before, I'll certainly be praying for you and I can't wait to see what God does in your life in the future. You'll be a wonderful mommy!!!!<BR/><BR/>Love in Christ,<BR/><BR/>Jeremie Shaffer<BR/>Andalusia, AlabamaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
