My Baby


Yesterday my sweet Landon lost his battle with Enterovirus. There are no words for the gratitude I feel for the many, many, many people that prayed for him. I would never change a single second, I am so honored to be Landon's mommy. However, I have no idea how a person is supposed to go on after this.
Thank you Jesus for holding Landon now. He really does love to be held.

  1. O, Amber, I really wish I could give you a hug. You are one strong woman. I'm not good with words, but I have cried tears for you, prayed for you, James the boys and your families, praised God for the 10 days that you got to spend with your son. I have no answer as to how a person is to go on after such a rollercoaster, valley, termoil and anguish consume ones soul, but I have learned thru this that God does. God knows. God cares. God loves. God. The One who gives and takes away. The One who orchestrates it all. The One who had this path you are one planned out long before....The one who can comfort, wipe your tears and hold you up when you are just having one of those days. I know about those days. I"ve been there with Lloyds death. Day by day. Moment by moment. Step by Step. Praise you Jesus in this storm. Admire you Amber and James for looking constantly to God thru out. Loving Prayers...Rebecca

  3. I am so sorry for your loss! I've been praying for your family. May you continue to reach out to Our Loving Heavenly Father and allow Him to hold you through this time. I am so so sorry.


    The scripture below was a comfort to me after a recent loss in August.

    Psalms 27:13-14 NKJV
    "I would have lost heart, unless I had believed That I would see the goodness of the LORD In the land of the living. {14} Wait on the LORD; Be of good courage, And He shall strengthen your heart; Wait, I say, on the LORD!"


    Love,
    A friend of a friend,
    Marilyn

My heart breaks for you and I am crying out to God to speak peace and comfort into your lives right now, and in the days to come.

  7. Hello. I heard about your little one, and I was moved to pray this morning. My wife told me the outcome later today. And it is with sadness that I read of Landon's passing.

    I'm still praying for you. There's nothing much I can say, because words just don't suffice. There is a time to grieve, and my prayer is that you do so in hope.

    Keep trusting in God.

I continue to pray for our almighty God to wrap your family close in his arms and pour his love down over you as you grieve you lose.As I held our 4month old daughter last night,I began to cry thinking about how blessed we are to have 6 beautiful children. I cant imagine my crazy life without one of them, your strength and courage through all of this is unbelievable!! No one really knows what to say at a time like this, we just hope that saomehow our emotions for you will come out right on paper!

  11. I don't have words that will bring you comfort but I wanted you to know that I am so very sorry. My heart breaks for you and your family. I totally lost it reading your post and the last 2 sentences are something that I won't soon forget. From one mom to another know you are being lifted up in prayer.
