Today I went to the memorial service for the two-month old daughter of a friend of mine. Zoe was born just three days after Andrew, and died of SIDS this past Tuesday. Some pain that we experience in this life just cannot be understood. Asking why doesn't even begin to truly express the question in my heart. Even so, God is sovereign. God is faithful. The whole service today had a tone of expressing faith in God and his plan despite the painful circumstances. What a reminder that they're not really ours to begin with, but just given to us on loan!

It will be a long time before I will be able to love on Andrew without thinking about Amy and Zoe. My son Aaron said it best, though. "We'll see her again in heaven, mom." he said. So all you mommies out there, go love on your babies. And while you're at it, say a prayer for my friend!
