Thursday night

THANK YOU!!!! I opened my email tonight and had 100 messages in my inbox, mainly comments on facebook. Your comments on the blog encouraged us throughout our stay in the hospital. Your prayers and words mean more than you will ever know! Please continue to let us know when we cross your mind, as this journey will be very long. I could never put into words how your love and words enveloped us.

We are exhausted, and hope that everyone will have a wonderful sleep at home tonight. I hope to type some stuff up tomorrow, but even more than that I am praying that I can write some in Janie Beth's journal tonight.

My heart aches more than I ever thought it could. My arms long to hold her and my lips to kiss her precious head. We were very blessed to have today with her just Joey and I. We actually brought her to the funeral home ourselves. I am so thankful that I got to carry her out of the hospital and hold her in the car. Of course, when Joey took her from me after I had kissed her and hugged her, I wanted so badly to run after them and kiss her 100 more times. She touched me so much in her short life!! I am so blessed to be her mother!!!! I would have rather had this short time with her than to have never had her at all. I will always love her and miss her.

Thank you for your continued prayers!!! We need them. I love you all, and you have blessed me beyond measure.

    Praying for you, dear one. Isaiah 40:11 says, "He shall feed his flock like a shepherd: he shall gather the lambs with his arm, and carry them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young." My prayer for you today is that you will feel His strong arms holding you... and you will find perfect rest there. Much love ~Classymomma
