Please let Amy know that if she ever needs to talk, I am here to listen. With my loss still so fresh in my mind and heart, and today being my due date, my heart breaks for them that they had to say good bye to their daughter too. I will pray for them and I hope that they know that their beautiful little girl will be theirs forever. <BR/><BR/>CandiCandi and Skeethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11404984480681034695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34532535.post-66753141367695651022007-12-07T08:37:00.000-05:002007-12-07T08:37:00.000-05:00Beautiful post.

You were able to be there, to comfort her, and most importantly be a servant of God in her most despirate time of need. Please know I am in tears reading this and will pray for this precious family. I needed to be reminded to hug my little one more closely today.

Then meeting you and spending time with you throughout Amy's labor and delivery and Lydia's time with us was such a blessing. God helped Amy as best he could through this pregnancy and delivery, and putting you with her was a wonderful gift. I'm so, so grateful I was able to meet and hold my beautiful granddaughter also. I was worried with the distance and Indiana winters that I might not make it. But I was supposed to be there and Praise God - I was!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34532535.post-77262848982024433472007-12-07T04:24:00.000-05:002007-12-07T04:24:00.000-05:00I too couldn't sleep and felt compeled to check Mi...I too couldn't sleep and felt compeled to check Mike & Amy's site. I really don't know what I wanted to see, I had just checked it earlier today. To be honest I wanted more of Lydia. Then I saw about Renay's post. I used the link to check it out.<BR/><BR/>I know what Renay is talking about, I too met that beautiful angel. Every word she said is true. Renay, as a friend of Amy's I want to Thank You for being everything you've been for the Focosi family lately...nurse, friend, someone who's been through a difficult pregancy too, a servant in so many ways!<BR/><BR/>When I first got home and all alone after meeting Lydia that Monday evening. I knew I was a changed person. I was in awe of God's newest creation, Lydia. I couldn't get her off my mind and still haven't been able to. Nor do I want to! She has forever impacted my heart, my life, and how I serve my BIG GOD. Through her God has shown me how to love people even more, sieze each moment in life, truely give glory to God in everything, trust him and lean on him like never before. I wish I could of learned this another way, but it is part of God's perfect plan. I will not let Lydia's short, but meaningful life not live in my life how God intended it. Everlasting like God's love for us. God Gave his perfect son to die for our sins. Don't wait another day or another minute to accept that unconditional love, that unlimited forgiveness, and give yourself to God. You can't be perfect when you give yourself to God, you have to come to him the way you are unworthy of his love and grace. You will then experience a love you could never imagine and your life will have more meaning.<BR/><BR/>Renay - Thank you for letting me go on and on your blog. I might just have to get me one of these.<BR/><BR/>Trusting in Gods Plan as hard as that is.... <BR/>JessicaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34532535.post-89821791166749873262007-12-07T03:04:00.000-05:002007-12-07T03:04:00.000-05:00It is 2:50 am and even though it's the middle of t...It is 2:50 am and even though it's the middle of the night and I can't be nearly as articulate and poetic as I would like in response to this AMAZING and (every word of it) TRUE post, I HAD to respond in this moment so you would wake up and read this (and that I would be your first comment)!!! And why didn't you e-mail me that you posted this? God told me to check your website just now.<BR/><BR/>My legs literally shook the entire time I read this post (thank God I was sitting down). I don't know what to say in this moment, except I love you and I thank the good Lord for you (and SO many others at this time), but especially you and my 4 "girls" who got to meet our precious baby girl. God put you 5 in my life for a MAJOR reason to get me through this (He knew you could handle it and be there for me in ways that no one else could). Especially you, medically, being with me the ENTIRE time I was in labor, allowing me to be your only patient and you to be my sole nurse. And you, compassionately. It's so amazing the way this whole turned out and how it happened the way God orchestrated it to, apparently. How the 5 of us were friends, pretty good, separate friends I might add, last week and now we are the BEST of friends and have a love for each other that I will never be able to explain. It's just there and it's beautiful because we have all been through this together (although I've had it the hardest, okay?). :-)<BR/><BR/>I thank you for writing this, from every corner of my heart. I am BLESSED. I praise GOD for YOU, my other girls, my family and other friends, Mike, Alex, and especially precious Lydia.<BR/><BR/>And I PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
