The baby

I know you are all wondering. No, we are not expecting a baby. This is something that is so heart wrenching, yet so comforting at the same time. As I mentioned, I was very close to my friend, Evette (the one that passed away). I have not mentioned that I had become close to all of her family because Brad played on their family volleyball team the last 2 years at church. We laughed so much together. Her sister was a labor and deliver nurse for many years. When we had our miscarriage she was an important person to us. Yesterday, as I made my way down the line to speak to all of the family and give Evette my final goodbye, I came to Evonne first. As we embraced and cried, she pulled away from me and this is what she told me, " I hope this doesn't make you mad, but I am going to say it anyway. Evette is rocking your baby for you!" It was at that moment that I lost it. I know she is. I know that she is taking care of Faith. She loved her own children so much and she always was taking care of others children and teaching in the nursery. It was later that I thought, she can take care of my baby and I will take care of hers. We will have to help each other until our families are united for eternity.
