Hold Them Closer

It is strange for me to sit down with a blank screen and the intent to write and have no words come.  Especially when last night I could not fall asleep for all the words crowding my head.  Especially when words are what I use to understand myself and what I am feeling.

I guess all I really want to ask is that you do two things for me today.  Pray for my family, especially my brother, Dan and his wife, Rachel, and to hold your babies close.  Hold your loved ones tight for as long as they will let you.

(I am sorry I cannot explain, to understand what I am talking about please see my sister's beautiful post here.)

  1. Oh Amy, I am so sorry to hear about your families loss! That has got to be so hard. Hearing stories like that makes you hold your little ones a lot closer. I will definatley be holding mine closer today. Our family will be praying for your brother and his family.

    On a happier note, I love the matching cheerios shirts. And all the blonde hair! They must be cousins! :)
