Loss
Dear Friends,
It’s with deep sadness that we tell you we’ve lost our baby. Amber was 16 weeks pregnant but the baby was only 13 weeks. He came on Christmas Eve and was a little boy. We named him Christopher David. He looked as if everything were normal on the outside. He had all of his fingers and toes, ears, eyes, little nose. We were able to hold him and morn our loss together. There was no one in the house when he came and Amber’s pain although great was less than she expected.
God’s grace is brining us through and we are finding comfort in believing God is who He says He is even if all circumstances look otherwise. If He’s not then we have nothing and that is too much to bare. We’ve found great comfort in the words of friends and knowing that there has been so much prayer covering us.
We buried Christopher tonight with our family on top of a mountain. All of our hearts are broken, but we are clinging to Jesus.
Thank you for being such faithful friends.
Love,
The Garsees

We can not understand the ways of God. We just have to trust that he is in control and we will one day understand why we have such heartaches in this world. From our Hearts
