For Layla Grace
I blog. It’s what I do when I’m happy, or sad, or anxious. Y’all know this. I blog all my emotions. Right now, my heart is breaking. I told y’all to pray for Layla Grace a few weeks ago. Today, she went to be with Jesus. I know she is no longer hurting and has no more pain.
But I know her family is in dire pain. They are hurting. They will miss their baby.
As I sit here at my desk stuck at work, my heart breaks. I want nothing more than to go home and be with my babies. To kiss them and cuddle them and tell them I love them. It doesn’t seem fair that we can’t instantly just leave our jobs when something like this happens. Why aren’t there ” I need to go home and see my kids” hours like there are sick or vacation hours? There needs to be.
Please pray for the Marsh family. They will need it. I can’t imagine having to bury my child.
Layla Grace, may you enjoy playing with the angels. I never met you. I never held you. And yet, in my mind, I did both those things. I don’t know how it’s possible to love someone you’ve never met or talked to…and yet I do. Rest in peace sweet baby girl.

She is a peace and with God. I pray for peace and comfort for her family. The pain her parents and her sisters must feel is unfathomable.
We have all learned a lesson through Layla Grace and the power of her short time on Earth has been amazing.

There is a reason behind every human life, no matter how short or long their stay. Layla Grace clearly taught so many people so many lessons in her too short life. May she rest in peace.
