We said goodbye to our darling daughter at 7:21 this evening. She put up a good fight for over a month and surprised everyone. Her little lungs just couldn't function with the bullae that kept growing bigger and bigger until it was taking over both lungs. The doctors tried everything they could think of to help our little one. She was in distress and it was not going to get any better. The docs called us in and told us what was happening. We had some rough choices to make. We decided that she had done all she could in her battered little body. It was hard but very sweet to be with her through the end. We held her, sang to her, talked with her, loved and kissed on her until she went to be with Jesus in heaven. I will never forget those moments. We thank you for all of your prayers and support during her 6 weeks of life. She is now in a place with no pain, no more tears, and she has a body that is whole. The last song I sang to her was...
What a day that will be when my Jesus I shall see,
And I look upon His face,
The One who saved me by His grace;
When He takes me by the hand
And leads me through the Promised Land,
What a day, glorious day that will be.
We are truly blessed to know that we will join her someday in heaven. That does not take away our sorrow here and now but is does leave us with hope. We had asked God to heal her body and He did just not here on Earth. Thanks again for your love and support of our darling girl.
I heard of your precious child through a co-worker-I am saddended for your loss and send prayers and blessings for your family-May God truly be with you at this time--I know your daughter is healthy in Heaven!
ReplyDeleteDear ones...I am Bethany Clyatt-Sink's pastors wife. She had asked that we put you on the prayer list and I had just looked at your blog yesterday and was introduced to your family. I received an email from Bethany today regarding the passing of your little Taylor. She was quite the fighter!
ReplyDeleteYour family is in our prayers. I can't imagine what you have been through in the past two months, but how wonderful to know that our God knows and understands and that He is there with you now as He's always been.
Keep holding His hand! And yes, your precious angel is safe in the arms of Jesus and enjoying life whole.
