I just wanted to let you know that I am feeling a lot better both physically and emotionally. It was a long tough week and we are so grateful to God for the gift of life He sent our way, even if it was only for 10 weeks.
Thank you for praying. I cannot find the words to explain how uplifted and supported I felt during all of this through the praying of family & friends. Thank you, thank you so much.
Life is short, pray hard!
I entered our little Therese's name into the "Book of Life" at the Church of the Holy Innocents Shrine in NYC. I vaguely remember going to it in my very early 20's and here is where our sweet Therese's name is where others can know of her short 10 week life and to pray to her. It is so special. They even sent me a certificate with her name on it. (I wish I could figure out how to print it! It is with some diff. format than what we have.)
Sometimes when it rains, it pours...doesn't it?
Not only was this week 'the week' for releasing our baby, but my oldest also fell on a super sharp rock and ended up with 5/6 stitches on his leg, then he ran a fairly high fever that we thought was associated w/the wound but thanks be to God, it was just a virus, then my husband had a sinus infection...and on and on and on.
And then on the forecast, it is calling for 5 straight days of RAIN-Mon-Fri. Oh my goodness. I do not look forward to that with 7 kids inside (4 of them boys!) but I am so happy that it is sunny right now and finally we are all feeling better.
The great news is that ....Tomorrow is our 12th Wedding Anniversary!!!
God bless,
Mary

Glad to hear the grace is gradually bringing peace. God Bless †
We will be keeping all of you in our prayers. God bless.
You are in my prayers, too.
Just a side note, the cerificates I received were word docs. What was yours? Perhaps you can write to the shrine director and ask for help.
