Sometimes 9 is a Big Number..... :(

If you have 9 dollars you don't have much...

If you have 9 cookies you still don't have a dozen..

If you have 9 days off a year, you don't have much time off...

but when you have 9 children die of Congenital Heart Defects in a week just in the circle of CHD Mom's you know about it is 9 too many, 9 families planning funerals, 9 families hearts breaking.. Even 1 is too many!

I have not been able to get this off my mind this week, I have cried and cried, it has taken my breath, I have prayed and cried out for these mothers. I will admit I have been angry, I have questioned God, I do not understand.  It is not fair.  This beast called CHD continues to rage, and still there is not enough research, there is not enough funding, there is not enough awareness and for some there is not enough time. Do all you can ...help spread awareness, help fund research;  http://www.hopeforbravehearts.org/

Please continue to pray for all of these families each one of them need your prayers, http://www.team-ewan.com/ and http://www.fierceandfiesty.blogspot.com/, these are just two, sweet Ewan and Sweet Joshua. 
We love you Sweet Angels and we will meet you all again one day.

If anything Lord, Please help us not to take one day for Granted, to try not to complain, to remember that each day is a gift and that we are Blessed.

Much Love,

Rhonda

  1. I know...it has been such a tough week for a lot of people especially those that lost a child. I too have cried, have felt frustrated that this happened and have been angry. It's not fair....not fair at all.

    All we can do is keep pushing forward. Keep spreading awareness. Keep fighting!!
