Paige

Wow, as of this minute, we have raised $5,197.20...which is really more than $15,000!! I can't even fathom that right this minute....knowing that 37 contributors, plus the 2 matching families have come together to do a beautiful thing. It comes at a bittersweet moment, as we got word today that sweet Paige, a little 6 month old with heart problems that lived at New Day went to heaven yesterday.
Her memorial made me weep. It was one of the first things I read this morning, in bed on my phone. Lucy was next to me, and in her sweet voice: "What's wrong Mommy?" How do I even begin to explain that this world is not our home? I simply answered, "this sweet baby went to heaven." She's satisfied with that answer. Often WE are not satisfied, right? We grieve and mourn our loved ones, and rightly so. We long for the day when there is no more need for surgeries, or fund raisers or orphans, or pain or sadness or loneliness. Until then, we take one day at a time, trusting that He is able to do more than we create in our minds as a goal. Our very lives are in His hands. And that's a pretty good place to be.

Thanks again for your contributions, your prayers, and your friendship!!
ps, I've got word that anything above the $5000 will still be matched thru the deadline, so feel free to keep adding to that number!!
