When I first heard about the accident on FB, I couldn’t get that family out of my mind…..and that young girl lying in the hospital as her family, hindered by terrible weather conditions, were trying desperately to reach her side. I just had to think how I would feel in the same circumstance. It’s just beyond words…..beyond sorrow. I have been praying for this family since I heard, as so many have.

And dear sweet Tori, I believe you are loved and prayed for more than you know!

Amen, Alyson, Amen….to your prayerful wishes…and to Tori being loved.

I can’t begin to imagine how it would be losing a child of any age. Ibelieve our gracious Lord helps us get through it, but I don’t believe you ever get over it. My prayers are with Emily’s family during these extremely painful days.

I’ve been praying for Emily since I first heard about the accident. I don’t even remember how I first heard about it; maybe because my youngest is in Alabama and I was paying special attention to the weather there the past few weeks. Maybe from Facebook. I know the route she was driving very well. Both my oldest and youngest have driven it regularly. And when you have kids close to that age (26, 25 and 18) news like that brings up all those fears you usually can bury deeply enough to function day-to-day. I hope the Christians in Alabama ministered to the parents at the hospital and the law enforcement folks helped as much as they could. I hope the prayers of all of us surround them as they go through this tragedy.
And Tori, I’m gonna start praying for you every day by name. I know it’s not the same but I’ve always had the theory that when you can’t fill the big needs in the world you can fill some of the small ones. Just so you know you are loved.

You worded this beautifully. While raising our children we seem to always feel like, if we can just get thru the current stage, the next will be easier, we won’t worry as much, etc. My oldest will be 25 next month, my youngest is 20, married and still in college. Some days it’s not much easier. I cannot imagine what these parents are going thru, and I hope I never have to experience it. There is nothing we can say to make them feel better. Your, and everyone else’s presence there will help strengthen them. I pray God’s peace and strength for the days to come. They will be rough, only possible to bear with God’s help.

As a mother who has lost a baby, I can only imagine a fraction of their pain after losing a child they have known and loved for 24 years.

They will be in my prayers.
