November 27th 2006 "day of mourning"

This is my birthday but also a sad day! I find myself asking many questions and having not a lot of answers. Christin and had a tough morning this November 27th of 2006. We lost our baby!! We know that God has many reasons for the things that He does. We also know that it doesn't often make sense to us here on earth. We just ask that as we go through a grieving process that you will keep us in your prayers. We don't often know what to say to people during these times but a simple prayer or a telephone call or even a card seems as though it helps. Christin and I feel closer than ever to eachother. This I must say was one of the toughest things that I have ever gone through. The feeling of hopelessness and knowing that it is out of your hands. We would like to thank you for all your prayers and we are continueing to trust in God and know that Someday God will bless us with a child. As for this child we know that he or she is in heaven and we will meet again someday. We just keep saying that our greatgradparents and releatives needed a baby to rock in heaven. Well that is all for now. I will try to post a little more later

Many Tears shed
Derek and Christin

Hey Derek.

I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. I was going to call and send a card, but I don't have your number or address. Tell Christin that I am sorry. You guys are in my prayers.

Derek and Christin,

Take care of each other.
