:: Vyla Irene Dearman

Camping at North Mills in '04

Last Friday was very sad as we found out that our dear friends, Jonathan and Britainy, had suffered a tragic loss in the death of their little girl, Vyla Irene Dearman. Vyla only had a few more weeks to go to make her due date, but God decided to take her home before she even was able to take her first breath here on earth. I cannot imagine having to endure such loss. I just can't imagine it.

There is a song called "Glory Baby" that speaks about the untimely death of an unborn baby. A line from that song goes...
"I will rest in knowing, heaven is your home. And it’s all you’ll ever know." Wow. That is the only realization that would keep me going, I believe.

Please pray for Jonathan and Britainy and their families. I know they would appreciate your prayers.

I know you're jealous of my new Dispenser o' Tishooos. Bwhaha! Isn't it so fantastickly sweet?? I'm thrilled with it. Thanks to ReadyMade for the idea...can't claim it myself. Mom supplied the can and Dad helped drill the hole and put the cewl trim around the opening so that you don't rip your Kleenex on the way out (that was his idea...no thanks to ReadyMade)! And Matt and Scout performed the pull-out tests. HA! Thanks family! :-)

my birthday is coming up, you know...hint, hint, hinto...
