For Milo and his parents

There were photographs I wanted to take
Things I wanted to show you
Sing sweet lullabies, wipe your teary eyes
Who could love you like this?

People say that I am brave but I'm not
Truth is I'm barely hanging on
But there's a greater story
Written long before me
Because He loves you like this

[Chorus]
I will carry you
While your heart beats here
Long beyond the empty cradle
Through the coming years
I will carry you
All my life
And I will praise the One Who's chosen me
To carry you

Such a short time
Such a long road
All this madness
But I know
That the silence
Has brought me to His voice
And He says ...

I've shown him photographs of time beginning
Walked him through the parted seas
Angel lullabies, no more teary eyes
Who could love him like this?

"I Will Carry You" - Selah

Milo has touched more lives in his short 6 months than most people ever do in an entire lifetime. 

Please keep Milo's parents, Becky and Wes, in your prayers. Tonight (as I type this) is the visitation for Milo, and tomorrow is his graveside service. Nothing about this is fair.

When I think of how heartbroken and sick I am over his nonsensical loss, I can't even begin to imagine how much more Becky and Wes' pain is. They are believers, and their faith is what is getting them through this. I am so thankful that Christians are able to mourn with hope. For this reason, they know without a doubt that they will see their sweet little boy again in Heaven. It makes me smile through my tears to think of Milo playing in Jesus' lap. 

Thank you in advance for lifting this family up in your prayers.
