Such Sad News...

I read the following news today about my friends Meg and Will.

How do we begin to find the words. As you all know from our last updates that Blake came to a crossroads in his recovery from open heart surgery. Yesterday Will and I had to make the hardest decision of our lives. We made the decision to let Blake be with God in heaven so that he would not have to feel pain or discomfort any more. We had to think and pray long and hard to put Blake's needs above our own. We had to really ask ourselves about his quality of life. Will and I sought counseling in our pastors and asked God to help show us the way. When yesterday we went into see Blake they had to increase much of the support that he has been on. We spoke with the Doctors about Blake's chance for survival and we unfortunately, were told in so many words that some children's bodies just can't recover from surgery. Although his body was not able his heart and soul fought so hard to be here with us. It was not in God's plan for Blake to physically come home with us, but it was in his plan for this precious child to touch all of our lives, especially Will and I. He will always be in our minds and in our hearts. Blake in his 6 weeks of life brought more joy to us than I could have ever imagined. Thank you all for your continued support and prayers for Blake and for us. We really feel that all of the support is what got us through this difficult time and will continue to help us as we grieve, love and remember our beautiful baby boy.

I can only imagine the pain they are feeling. I watched my parents go through the same pain when my brother passed away. I know that the heartache Meg and Will feel is indescribable...
