As I wait for Jillian to drift off to sleep, I have a chance to reflect on the last few days. We attended the annual Candle Lighting Ceremony last night at CHOP, which is held in conjunction with the Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting at 7 pm, creating a "wave of light" across the globe.
The opportunity to remember our children who have gone before us is so special, especially since so many of us share the experience of losing a baby.
Tom and I were astounded by the numbers of new names and faces this year, especially of babies.
And when Abigail and Bethany's picture came up, I couldn't help but think that they must look so different now, so grown up.
A few weeks ago the kids and I watched "Is Heaven for Real?" and it really got me thinking... about what it is like for my girls now that they are with Jesus. And sometimes I even get a little jealous! But then I look at their sweet baby sister sleeping, and I know that God has a LOT of work left for me here on earth!
Speaking of sleep, I'm the only one in the house not sleeping right now, so i better take care of that!
