Growing up I was taught to begin my prayers by giving thanks to God for the things that He has done, is doing, and will do. While this isn't a prayer, I have no better way to start this, so I will start by giving thanks. I am thankful that people from all over the country, all over the world rather, have been praying for my family. I am thankful that I have seen first hand the support you get when being a part of a Christian community. I am thankful that for a short time I had a beautiful niece and a warrior of a nephew. I am thankful for the doctors and nurses that fought for our sweet Adelaide and Wyatt. I am thankful for my family, who have shown the greatest faith and love I have ever known.
As bittersweet as this is, I would not be able to tell you the things that I am thankful for if the opposite did not exist. Tonight we mourn the loss of our Wyatt. There are many details to be explained at a later date, but for now please take comfort in knowing that Wyatt did not suffer. Wyatt had many things going against him that the doctors simply could not fix. Rachel, with Justin by her side, was able to hold Wyatt as he took his last breath.
For now I will conclude with a request and thanks. As for the request, I ask that you continue to pray for my family, mostly Justin and Rachel, as the rebuild their lives from their losses. Now for the thanks, I thank you, we all do. Thank you for your love, support and prayers. We love you right back.

ReplyDeleteWe are still praying for your whole family. May God's peace be with you all.
ReplyDeleteI love you and your family dearly, Megan. You are all warriors, fighting for happiness amongst everyone you encounter on a daily basis. I continue to pray that you all will have peace and healing during this time of loss. Love always, Annie J.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about Wyatt, but know there are so many people still thinking and praying for your family.
ReplyDeleteWe are so very sorry for the loss of precious Wyatt and pray that God will comfort you all in the coming days and soften your pain with support from all of those around you. We will continue to pray for you all. These babies had a purpose in this world and have touched so many hearts. I know they have touched ours and taught us to remember how precious our moments with our children truly are. They are angels who gave us all a glimpse of the beauty and fragility of life. Thank you for sharing them with us. God bless you all.
