Today was another emotional day. Ryan and Brianna came to church with both sets of Grandparents and both of their families. They were completing surrounded by family! It was an amazing opportunity for the Bethany Community to come around them and love them knowing it was the hardest week of their lives. We grieve with them and for them. We hope they feel our love and support…we are so proud of them.

The adrenaline is slowing and I’m amazed what a fog I’m in. (Lack of sleep does that.) Matt and I are taking it easy and giving each other lots of hugs…and grace. Something tramatic like this helps us realize how much we have and how blessed we are.

The amazing thing about loss is that you feel like you’re all alone and then realize that so many have walked this path before you…and survived the pain. Thank you to everyone who has written encouragement, volunteered or given gifts to the Morrison family. They are grieving, but feel blessed. Even though there’s a lot we don’t understand about the loss they’ve experienced and why…we hold fast to the truth that God is good and His mercy endures forever.

Keep writing your comments and praying for the precious family. They are so brave…I can’t even tell you how brave. When everything has calmed down I promised to read Brianna all of them.

This has been one of the hardest weeks of my life. My heart was torn in so many directions.

I came back from my vacation late Friday night, unpacked and cleaned Saturday, the Morrison6 were born on Sunday. I was at the hospital Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

For months I have been planning to go to Canada for my sister’s 30th b-day party and for the arrival of my new nephew. (Who was named Tayus - pronounced the was its spelled Tay-us…cool eh?) I was supposed to go from Wednesday to Saturday. After being at the hospital on Tuesday with Bennet…I didn’t want to go anywhere. Brianna insisted and I left on Wednesday for Toronto. Leaving was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. I felt like I couldn’t win: being a bad friend for leaving, being a rotten sister for coming with such a heavy heart - and to top it off Adriah bawled when they dropped me off…so I felt like a bad mom too! I cried (really hard) the whole way to my gate…when I checked my luggage, through security and everything. In the end, I knew I needed to let go and trust she was in good hands. 

Wednesday afternoon (3 hours after I got there) Matt called and said, “I know I said I thought you should go but, now I’m saying come home.” I was heartbroken again; for Brianna and my sister.

I came home last night after spending just over 24 hours in Toronto. I’m tired and totally spent - but there’s nowhere else in the world I’d rather be. Please keep praying for my friend and her babies.

I want to say thank you to all of Bethany Church…you have been an amazing support to the Morrisons, and Matt & I! We love you!
