Thank you so much, dear Dr. Ricky. Yes, she was a great loss to our family. Our granddaughter that followed her will be five soon. The value of life never goes away. Each one a gift from from God to make our days here rich with love and meaning. I a glad to have held her, even just for a moment. Eternal life is ours in Christ and I know I will see her in God?s kingdom! Thank you, again for stopping by with the generous and heartfelt review!
All my best,
Sal :+)

Thank you for the excellent review and kind words.For our family, Sophia was the miracle born a year later. My daughter-in-law was healed able to have another child. God didn?t have to do that, but He did. She is a loving and special little girl. That is her with me in the picture.
All my best,

You are welcome Sally Law.
Yes, at times if hard to cope with God decides to do, but I liked what you said in your story? of how
God did not let me give up my life for hers. He allowed me to stay behind with the living. A year later, our granddaughter, Sophia, was born. Just as beautiful as her sister, but full of life. I am grateful that God is still God, and He is merciful in all His ways. When I look at Sophia and my three grandsons, I see life--not death--and remember why I?m still here.

Comment from Cedar
Hello Sally: God works in mysterious ways doesn't He?
You and your family have experienced the most painful tragedy that parents and grandparents will ever have to endure, the loss of a child.
I can't imagine what you must have felt when you held her in your arms. Her little body perfect in every way, what a beautiful woman she would have been.
But, I can imagine the joy and happiness that you will feel when you see her smiling face and those big gorgeous blue eyes welcoming you into God's paradise. "What a day of rejoicing that will be."
It takes a lot of courage to write about such a heartbreaking experience. However, you have written this very sad story in such a way that we all feel your pain deep within our hearts.
God bless you and your family...Bill

Hi, Sally,
I'm so sorry about this tragedy in your life. You've told the story with a great deal of strength and allowed the reader to go through the grief and anguish with you.
I'm so glad the day of her remembrance is celebrated each year,

Thank you so much for the excellent review and comments. I appreciate your tender, kind words. I know you have experienced great loss in your life, as well. A mother and grandmother?s love is such a special bond. It is a tragedy when that is severed in any way. We all look forward to the day we see her in God?s heavenly kingdom.
All my best,
Sally
Comment from LisaMay
This is a sad anniversary day for you, Sally. You described the unfolding situation is dramatic, heartfelt terms. I choked up. This is a deeply personal story that would challenge anyone's faith, but you held firm, as did He, and a new life did join your family.

Comment from GWinterwin
Very sad story but told in a beautiful way. You show your strong belief in God by the way you handled the situation. You also show strong faith and love for God by the way you look at what happened. Faith shows in the way you talk about giving God the glory for the way things turned out. Giving God glory and praise instead of being mad or feeling you got cheated. Thanks for sharing, God bless always.

Thank you, Gary. I am glad if this helps anyone with such devastating loss. My family shares my faith and we have hope to see Esther is God?s heavenly kingdom. I am sorry for your loss, as well. I have lost many family members, but to lose one so young is overwhelming. I don?t know how folks without God can survive this...I really don?t.
All my best,
Sal :+)

I am serious when I say it was NEVER spoken of. my folks wound up with four boys, but looking back I think it affected my Dad. without God, you spend all your time rationalizing and compartmentalizing, I would imagine.

So true. My parents did the same until it blew up like Mount Vesuvius!
Comment from Debra White
Hi Sally,
I'm sorry for your loss. Truly.
You write beautifully of the awful tragedy of Esther's birth and death. I have tears in my eyes, I cannot imagine such heartbreak.
Your concluding paragraph (before the bible quote) is perfect. I admire your faith.
Sending my love, Debra :)
