Something is Missing
I was getting ready for bed tonight and I looked around my house and reflected on what is missing. I have more candles and flowered things around here then I know what to do with. As I removed the 400 pillows (Why do you girls need so many pillow we are not even allowed to use) that make my bed girly and pulled back the girly looking comforter I saw the empty space on the other side of the bed. Just beyond that sits the empty crib where my Gherkin belongs. All those nights I spent hours mixing up Tube feedings and G-tube feedings and "plugging in" my Ash are being missed. I never thought I would miss all of those chores. However, it is more of a chore realizing that I am not there to do those things. I am not available to my wife and my Gherkin. So tonight I choose to be thankful for all of the girly stuff in my house, even the 400 pillows that seem so useless to me, and I look forward to the day my girls that are responsible for all of this fluffy stuff return. I look forward to filling that empty crib and the empty side of my bed.
Goodnight Girls, I love you.

Dear Lord, be with David, Allie, and Blake tonight. We know how much they miss Trish and Ashley. I pray that You provide an opportunity for them to be together again as a family soon. I pray that You help them to be strong for each other even though they are so many miles apart. My heart breaks that they can't be together the entire time little Ashley recovers. Help them to lean on You, and continue to be their source of strength. I thank You, Lord for creating this precious family. There are so many lives touched already to see Your hands at work, and I know there are many more out there yet to hear of this story. Thank you for allowing my family to meet theirs, it has truly blessed us. In Your Precious Name,
Amen.
