Camping (Very Happy)and my Heart Breaking

We are back from a wonderful weekend of the great outdoors, the boys had so much fun playing in the creek, and the dirt.... Keith did most of the cooking :) It is so much work to camp, but it is soooo worth it. Tanner couldn't get to sleep the first night because of the street lights, the crickets, and the sound of the creek...Just a reminder of why we need to go... Coy is such an outdoor guy, and he slept very soundly. I will post pics soon.
I left my phone in the car, you know trying to be PRIMITIVE and all, I left it on, just in the car. Last night about 9 I went to turn it off and had a text from my good friend Laura that I work with, she is the gal that went with me to the overnight crop at Ridgecrest, and she took one of her friends, Melissa. I now consider Melissa my friend also, such a fun bright person with 2 beautiful girls. Melissa makes such wonderful pages in her scrapbooks, she was going to attend the a crop with me last weekend, but she has been hospitalized. So why all the background on this great gal, well, the text sent my heart to my toes and my stomach to my throat. There is no one on this earth that can understand what children mean to a mother, other than a mother, young or old. Melissa was approx 25 weeks pregnant and had been hospitalized approx 3 weeks with complete placenta previa. There was an emergency C-Section performed but baby Clarisia was returned to her heavenly father, Melissa survived. Oh how the chills are making my hair stand on end. I found out when my friend Julie had a similar situation while I was pregnant with Coy how deeply it affected me, as My friend Laura is pregnant and just a few weeks behind Melissa. Though she does have other children, that is not the point, when you want more it does not help to say, at least you have the 2, I remember how that would break my friend Julie's heart. Melissa's is a strong woman with a wonderful church and friends to support her, she will recover, but her heart will always ache and rejoice for that beautiful baby.
