Bringing Supper
I'm interupting the barrage of reunion pictures for a not-fun but necessary errand today. My friend Holly and I took our daughters this evening to show them how love reacts. Their 1st grade classmate, Avery, and her family had a very unexpected loss this past week. On Thursday, Avery's mom went into the hospital to have their new baby. She was induced but the baby got stuck in the birth canal. They eventually did an emergency C-Section, but by the time they were able to get the baby out, he had already died.
.
Can you even imagine coming home from the hospital to your house with a crib and all the new baby things set up and instead have to explain to your two young children that the baby won't be coming home?
.
Even though we don't completely understand the loss they're feeling, we still wanted them to know we're thinking of them and praying for them. We brought over supper tonight and also included a couple gifts for Avery. One was a children's book called Tear Soup, which dealt specifically with loss. The other gift was a Valentine WebKinz stuffed animal. Kylie and Taylor each got to hand Avery a gift.

Please remember the Ashe family and keep them in your prayers in the difficult days ahead.
