For all the Mothers and Fathers who are missing their children I know that today and everyday that they are in the arms of our Lord. I want to share a story with you, something that I questioned years ago. I became a Christian about 14 years ago. I grew up in a church but never took much to heart but I do know that God has been watching over me since the day I was born.
So I was in Bible study and had allot of questions. I shared with my group that I have always prayed for God to take me first and I wondered if I was wrong. I thought that maybe I was being selfish. I think that my prayer is a very common one but I was torn. If Heaven is so wonderful why wouldn't I want my children to live there rather then on earth where there is so much pain. Don't get me wrong, earth is a beautiful place but there is so much suffering. I really don't have a point here, I know that you want your babies/children to be here with you, I too would want the same thing. I just wanted to say that where they are is a place we all pray to be someday. It is perfection.
You are always in my prayers. I continually pray for your comfort and strength. I know that Christmas will be so hard for you and I am so sorry. Please know that I care about you.
If I have said something to offend you I am very sorry. If you think I should remove this post please let me know, I value your opinion since I am very new at this.

I love this picture... It is the cover of Alexander's Memorial Mass booklet.
Thank you for thinking of our families this time of the year!
I never thought about it like that and yes I have prayed that God take me first before. But you are right, why wouldn't we want our babies to have Paradise? Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas!
