Kimberly and I went to the high risk doctor's office this morning for the ultrasound. Unfortunately, they realized very quickly that both children had passed away. There was no heartbeat. They suspect Twin-to-Twin Transfusion syndrome. We are in mourning and have begun the procedures to ensure Kimberly's health. Support from friends, family, our church, and the SQL community has been awesome. Thank you all. I'll close on this:
A Path of Sorrow
In memoriam of our twins.We've walked this path before, You and I,Where my heart was shredded and in despair.But I will proclaim to all who will hear,"God is good, even in these times of pain."I remember the past. I remember the agony.I remember facing an ended future.There was nothing I could do but suffer,Except trust and lean on You by faith.I had tried it my way and I had failed.There was nothing I could do to overcome.And then You held me up and soothed me.You spoke loving words of grace and mercy.You delivered a miracle and You healed me.You did what the doctors could not explain.You restored my future I knew was lost.And You gave me a hope I'll never lose.Nothing happens outside of Your control.And I know that even as I mourn deeply,You stand beside me with Your arms around me.You are here in the midst of my pain.So I will praise You with every breath.I will proclaim Your greatness to all.For I've walked this path with You before.And I see You're beside me yet again.
My prayers are with you and Kimberly. I know your strength and conviction will sustain you in your time of need, and the rest of our hearts are heavy. If there's anything the rest of us can do, rest assured that we'll all jump to your aid in whatever you need. You're a great man in the community, and I'm sure you're just as great of a father and husband in times like these.
Brian, I'm very sorry for your loss. Prayers and best wishes to your family.
Brain and Kimberly -
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I can't imagine how you feel and wish that I could say or do something to help. Sending you and your family lots of love and strength, as much as I can.
Brian, I'm so very sorry to hear about your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time.
Brian - What great truths you illustrate even in this darkest hour. He is a great God and you and Kimberly know that. That is a blessing for a time like this.
I thank you for sharing your pain with us so we can pray and mourn "beside" you. I also really thank you for sharing the promise of just one of the many blessings that come from a walk with Christ.
I am sure the entire community of your SQL Friends echo what Brent said, we are here for you guys.
Brian, you had me in tears yesterday with your poem and today, I could hardly keep it together. I am very sorry for your loss, I hope that the future brings some cheer back into your life...
Brian,
I am deeply saddened to hear of your loss. We will keep your family in our thoughts.
