Their mission on earth was fulfilled

Dear Parents in Newtown,

My husband and I have suffered 10 miscarriages and lost a baby girl at age 6 weeks.  It's hard for us as parents to let go of the dreams we had for our children.  It's a moment by moment process.  I frame my own grief this way, God intended my journey and mission on earth to be this long, but my  daughter absolutely fulfilled her mission in only 6 weeks.  She never spoke a word or even gave a first cry, but her life changed so many people for the better.  Your children, too, fulfilled their mission, and lives of people who never knew them are being changed here online and through other venues because they left you so young.  The nation holds you close this Christmas.  Purchase this cd..."Comfort" by Kathy Triccolli.  It helps me grieve beautifully.  God sees and He understands. And moms of faith like me are with you. (Amen.)
