HOPE

This is the "Rose of Sharon" bush we planted in our front yard for Kadee Lynne
The Apostle Paul has written about how suffering can turn to hope when we experience the love of God:
“We glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;“And patience, experience; and experience, hope:“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.”
(Romans 5:3-5)

We are taught that the love of God is the greatest of all, compared to parents love of their children, but more so as he is perfect. I am glad you can feel this love now, it is always there! Love you!

The flower is perfect too!

May the Rose Of Sharon bloom abundantly through the years--each flower will remind you of your little angel. Kadee Lynne will always be in your hearts. My Rose of Sharon, planted by my mother over 40 years ago, blooms abundantly every year and I always think of her. The flower is white. I hope you are all doing better--think of you a lot. Lots of love to all of you. Aunt Shirley and Uncle David

Now my dear Becky, don't laugh too hard with my anonymous title--I haven't figured out as of yet how to put my name on the title, like you smart young bloggers!

I went to Rachael's blog and saw your comment and thought I would come over to your blog, only to realize that you have been going throuh a heart break. I am soooo sorry to hear this, I am sooo sorry you are going through this! You are such an "elect" lady, I just love you!

I wish I could take your pain away--but you and I both know there is only one who can do that. (And no Steve I don't mean you!)

I am so grateful for a Heavenly Father that knows a mother's heart, who will allow us to raise from infant to adulthood our unborn children...someday. Our bonding will be delayed, but not not denied. Not one minute lost is His promise to us mothers...and that is what keeps us going and smiling--awaiting for that someday.

I love you! I love your fun family! Give everyone a hug and kiss from me!!

Anything but anonymous!

Kadee Lynne brought us all together in love and service, before she was born...she fulfilled a sacred purpose, as did you. We have all been blessed through you and through her existence..and because of your love and sacrifice.

Great choice. Rose of Sharon is a hearty bush that blooms for a long time. Hope the grieving process isn't too hard....
