Baby Gracie
There is a little girl up at Primary's that is need of some extra prayers at the moment. She is a sweet little girl with HLHS, which is the same thing that Ryker has and is just having a tough time right now. I am a strong believer in the power of prayers. Prayers are what helped our family get through everything our family has gone through. If you can fast, that would be an extra bonus and much needed in behalf of this little girl and her family. Thank-you all!

Dear Gourley's
ReplyDeleteI came across your blog while checking up on our friends the Gledhills. I am so sorry for your losses, but thank you for your beautiful message. It is so easy to forget in this life why we are really here and that the silly things that we think are so important truly are not. I know that you will be amazing parents whether here or later and that your children are so lucky to be raised by you some day. It is so hard to have such a helpless feeling when sitting by as a bystander watching friends go through such a challenge, but it is also so wonderful to be so close to the spirit and to feel how loved we all are.
Thank you,
Lara
Dear Gourleys,
ReplyDeleteLara (the previous commenter) is my sister and she told me about your blog. What a tender story. Thank you for being willing to share it...as well as your journey that continues after-the-fact. Those two little babies will be lucky to have you as parents. Stories like this need to be read more often. It certainly puts things in perspective. As Lara said, very few things we worry about are even worth worrying about at all when you're forced to think about the big picture.
And this may seem strange, but I think I may know Michael and Jason. I used to work for a dentist in Orem....Dr. Lohner. Were they patients there? Is Tom Gourley your father? I can't put my finger on where I know you from, but I know we've crossed paths somewhere before. AND a good friend of mine here in Virginia knows Jason and his wife. What a small world this is.
Much love to you both. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for your blog! I can't begin to understand your emotions and pain, but pray that you are filled with peace and understanding. You are an amazing family full of strength and love with two very amazing and special children. Love, Heidi mom of tyler/HLHS
ReplyDeleteI hope you don't mind but I linked you to our blog. I want everyone to be able to feel of your strength and testimony. Let me know if you mind.
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the posts you have taken the time to write to us. It means so much to me to have comments and know poeple are still thinking of us. I look forward to every time I get a comment from you, your always so positive. That is one thing I have been trying to work on and become better.
ReplyDeleteWe were discharged at 3 this afternoon. We were starting to leave before we were given the paper work, haha Sam really wanted to go home. Its heart breaking to see your little one lay there and not beable to do anything to help. But you also know this all so well, that I dont have to tell you.
I pray for your family every day. What a blessing it is that in Heaven our families will be perfect and complete and this test will be over. You two are truely amazing and wonderfull examples.
I have an idea about how you feel when all the emotions come running back. Ever time I see or hear a helicopter every thing in Mariska's first few days comes running back, even the smells. I just hope if my circumstances changed I would like to think I could be as strong as you.
your in our hearts
Melynda, Sam and Mariska
