Reflections of a STAY-AT-HOME Catholic, sports fanatic, pro-life activist, intermittently-avid fitness buff, political junkie, MOM...and then some. None of which I stay home for.
I'm so sorry Nicole. We can all love that baby for her. I know you do already. We celebrated his life while he was with us didn't we? Love is never wasted. I'm sorry, my heart is breaking with you and everyone else.
I'm so sorry for you, your friend, her son, and especially for that innocent baby. Prayers for all of you, and for the baby's mother, too. Poor misguided girl... the decision she made today is going to come back and haunt her eventually.
Oh no...I just have chills. I know we've all been praying so hard. I'm so sad for her. What immediately came to my mind was Jesus' words on the cross: "Forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do". I really don't think that she fully understands what she's done--the impact that this has on others and will have on her eventually. That sweet baby is with our Lord right now.
Just checking in again to say how sorry I am that things turned out the way they did. I so admire you for being there for this woman. And, I pray, pray, pray that healing is in store for you very soon. You are such an amazing Mom and witness to the faith. And, I know you are not thinking about this, but I am also sorry that this baby didn't become your baby in your arms.
Life is so unfair. And, the culture is so confused.
Again, I just wanted you to know I am very sorry and I am constantly thinking of you.
I am just heartbroken for everyone involved - the parents and grandparents, the extended friends and family who will never get to know this person. I am also so sorry for you, for the sadness and loss you must be feeling.
I attended Mass yesterday afternoon with my son's altar server club and offered the Mass for this intention. I was looking at these beautiful children - strong young boys all gathered to learn what it is to grow to be true Christian men - and I was so crushed at the loss of this one more soul. May God have mercy on us.
Oh my heart just sank. I am so sad for that baby, that momma and for you. I am so so sorry. I am praying for all sides.
ReplyDeleteOh no...Oh I was hoping and praying she'd change her mind. Have mercy on us, Lord.
