concerns

People have asked how Evie passed away. Evie passed away in her sleep. We will not have an exact reason for several weeks. Preliminary autopsy showed some type of infection but the actual one is yet to be determined. She was happy, acted normal and showed no obvious symptoms of anything the day before she passed away. We are still in shock and are confused as well. If you can continue to just pray for us we would appreciate it. Thank you for your concerns.

    I came across your blog on another asking for prayers for your family. As a mother of two girls (2 and 4 months), I cannot imagine the pain and disbelief you must be going through. I pray God gives you a peace that surpasses understanding. Words fail...I can only pray. God be with you each and every day. Thinking of you and your sweet Evie.

    You don't know me but I came to your blog from a prayer request for your sweet family through Kelly's Korner. I have no words as my heart hurts so badly for you all, but please know there is not a day goes by that your story doesn't cross my mind and prompt me to pray for you all. I pray that you be filled with a peace that surpasses ALL understanding.

    Continuing to lift you up in prayer - specifially for peace and comfort. I pray that you feel 'loved on' and supported by your family, friends, even strangers and certainly most of all Heaven. I pray for your strength and your health that you are able to rest and relax when you need to and that the love you have for each other grows stronger having to face this every moment.

    And I pray for precious Ramsey. For the whatever and the all everything it is that she is needing from Heaven and others right now.

    Thank you for sharing as much as you have.

    I have a daughter the same age as Ramsy and Evie - I think about how precious my time is with her so much more now.

    still praying for you!! thank you for sharing your grief. I know the feeling of worrying about "grieving properly" or at least appearing to, from losing my brother earlier this year. I love every word of what you said on that subject. We all grieve differently. I had a family member tell me over Christmas that they didn't think I cried enough, or was sad enough. No one can judge one person's grieving better than another. As Christians we do grieve differently because we're in this world, but not of it. I find validation for the way I choose to grieve in that:)

    Hi Alicia,

    I don't know you, but came across your blog through The Larkin Kennedy family! I too have had you and your precious angel in my thoughts! Literally when I was reading your blog today the song "Kiss Goodbye" by Little Big Town came on I immediately began to sob. Your strength is unbelievable, I pray for you and your family and that Christ will begin to heal your broken hearts! Please just know you have another friend in Christ out here for you!

    "Kiss Goodbye"
    When you lose something,
    it's all that you want back.
    You waited patiently.
    But it don't work like that.

    When you lose someone,
    the first thing that goes through your head,
    is if you run fast enough,
    you just might catch up.
    But it don't work like that.

    You just gotta watch it fly.
    Stand there on the side line.
    Wanna swallow up your pride.
    Know it's gonna be alright.
    Wishing when I close your eyes
    With a kiss goodbye...

    Well the hardest part,
    Yeah it hurts so bad,
    is when she spreads her wings,
    but it'd be a selfish thing,
    to try and hold her back,
    but it don't work like that.

    You just gotta watch it fly.
    Stand there on the side line.
    Wanna swallow up your pride.
    Know it's gonna be alright.
    Wishing when i close your eyes
    like a kiss goodbye...

    When you lose something
    It's all that you want back.

    You just gotta watch it fly.
    Stand there on the side line
    Wanna swallow up your pride,
    know it's gonna be alright,
    wishing i could close your eyes,
    with a kiss goodbye...

    Like a kiss goodbye

    There are so many people praying for you and your family! Just wanted to let you know that there is one more praying. I also have twins so we share that special kinship that only mothers of twins can have. My heart is breaking for you and I pray that you are held up day by day, and even moment to moment by your faith.((hugs))

    I think about you and your family alot. I have twins boys that are 18 months. I cannot imagine what you are going through. It breaks my heart for you and your family and especially Ramsey. Please know that I think and pray for your family often.

    Alicia,

    I feel like I am out of place sending these messages sometimes b/c we have met once. However I hope you know how amazing you and your family are and how blessed the years to come will be. Ramsey & Evie are so blessed to have the parents they have and a bond that will never break. You are always in my thoughts and prayers -

    I also came here from Kelly's Korner. My heart just breaks for your family and I can't imagine what you are going through. You are so strong and you are being the best Mommy you can be for both your girls. You don't owe anyone an explanation for that.

    I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philipians 4:13

    I was reading in my Bible the other day and came across this scripture -

    "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will but yours be done." An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.
    Luke 22:42,43

    I realized that Jesus did not even rely on his own strength, he depended on God to give him his strength.

    I pray for God to give you that same strength that He gave Jesus.

    Hi there. I came across your blog through a prayer request on Kelly's Korner. I have 3 small children very close in age and I could not imagine experiencing what you've been through. Since finding you story, I think about it everyday. There's not a day that's gone by since that I haven't hugged my kids a little tighter and kissed them a few more times, especially at bedtime. Wow, I pray God gives you supernatural strength that you've never felt before. My heart hurts for you. Praying...

    Hi. I came across your blog in December through Kelly's Korner and have been checking in periodically. My son is just a week or so younger than Evie and Ramsey and I wanted to let you know that I think of, and pray for, you often. I don't know what else to say but that.

    I came across your blog through Kelly Korner's and wanted to let you know that the Lord brings your family to mind often and I find myself praying for you and your family at the grocery store, driving and even in the middle of the night. I don't know you nor you me, but I hope you can be encouraged that our Saviour is loving and caring for you in so many different ways. I can't relate to your experience or how you must be feeling, but thank you for your transparency and your heart in honouring the Lord in the worst of circumstances.

    Your sister in Christ.

    praying for you...God has brought your family to mind many times the past few weeks...I do not pretend to know your grief, but we pray with you that God would show up day after day after day and grant you healing and hope.
