I wanted to thank those of you who posted encouragement, sent cards and emails during our time of personal tragedy. I am especially thankful for the Edwards family, who sent Narnia pajamas for our children, along with the soundtrack. The death of our daughter showed me that I have a large and supportive extended family, and Naznet is a special part of that.
God has been so real to us during all of this. Childbirth is a beautiful miracle, even when things go badly. Now we have an investment in Heaven, and are looking forward to the day when we will be reunited with our fourth child, Willa Catherine.
Her grave is located on a hill overlooking Puget Sound. We went there this morning and both mountain ranges, after being hidden behind rain clouds for months, came out in all their glory. Mount Rainier looked like you could reach out and touch it. Susan and I discussed how Mount Rainier is like our Heavenly Father. Even when you can’t see him, he’s still there.
