I thought to myself how do we prepare to come out of such a difficult situation, not bitter, but better as you have, and the answer occurred to me to have a relationship with God so that we can get through times like these.Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08580146856425432887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701090666251961372.post-88559058692266641152011-07-04T22:53:06.911-05:002011-07-04T22:53:06.911-05:00thank you for sharing your story. i was looking up...thank you for sharing your story. i was looking up breastfeeding artwork and your site had some beautiful pictures on it. i started reading and couldn't stop. i am a mother of 3 that also trusts my life to Jesus. just browsing your blog, we have much in common. your sweet baby matthias was beautiful.Amber T.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13118269749231613004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701090666251961372.post-27751561654439126172010-08-09T22:39:15.582-05:002010-08-09T22:39:15.582-05:00Beautiful, really beautiful Melissa.

Truly the Lord is with you and your family and I know Matthias will always be remembered. I was wondering how Grace handled everything. Was she able to see and meet him before he died? How did she deal after?<br />Blessings...<br />LisaLisa Thomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08453174798238748084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701090666251961372.post-81473053621397882522009-08-16T22:53:10.752-05:002009-08-16T22:53:10.752-05:00You are so brave, such faith!You are so brave, such faith!Gladishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02501320818026969467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701090666251961372.post-20031911454590643372009-08-07T19:05:02.713-05:002009-08-07T19:05:02.713-05:00Thank you for your openness, sharing, trusting the...Thank you for your openness, sharing, trusting the Lord, grieving. . .TulipGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10491713586488210547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1701090666251961372.post-52217072152776698362008-11-20T12:50:00.000-06:002008-11-20T12:50:00.000-06:00I never knew the whole story of what had happened ...I never knew the whole story of what had happened and have just spent the last hour or so reading about Matthias and the grief you have endured.
