This past weekend, my husband was tragically and unexpectedly taken from us. I will not be discussing details. I am asking for prayers not only for myself but for all his family and friends for strength, peace and comfort. I am truly blessed with awesome support that has come around me and we will all, somehow, eventually get through this.
I have spoken to our social worker and she assured me they will NOT take LittleBuddy and SweetPea away. No way, no how. Thank God.
I cannot even being to thank everyone that has posted words of encouragement, love and support on FB and Twitter. All the friends that have called, shown up at the house and emailed. My family that has come or is coming from near and far. I could not of endured this alone and am so very very very grateful for you all.

I'm so sorry for your loss. You will be in my thoughts.
Sending you lots of prayers, strength, love and healing for you and your family.
This was the devotional I read today. God spoke to my heart and wanted me to share it with you:
"Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." (Psalm 23:4)
God never leaves us. I know you know this probably better than anyone. But when we are going through that valley, it is not always easy to keep our faith. Often times, our flesh wants to give up. Keep your eyes on Him and you WILL get through this. The father of lies will not win. There will be victory in this victimization. It is God's promise and that will never fail. I love you and am praying for you continuously. ~Kadi

"Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy laden." - Matthew 11:28
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God. For just as we share abundantly in the sufferings of Christ, so also our comfort abounds through Christ. If we are distressed, it is for your comfort and salvation; if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which produces in you patient endurance of the same sufferings we suffer. And our hope for you is firm, because we know that just as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our comfort. (2 Corinthians 1:3-7 NIV)
I am so very sorry for your loss. You will all be in our family and personal prayers.
So sorry for your loss. We will be praying for you all who are left behind while your husband gets things ready for you all in heaven. I am sure he is telling Jesus about how amazing you all are and how blessed he feels to have had you to share his journey of life with. The smiles of pure joy must be radiating as he is with our Lord and Savior speaking of his heart here on earth. May God comfort you in this time of loss, pain and sadness. Know you are in the prayers of many who wish you only goodness and comfort.
Blessings and hugs~
