What a Reunion
Today our precious Addi went home to be with her Heavenly Father. I can only imagine the joy and love that she felt upon her arrival. I am so ecstatic that her big brother, Cade, was also there waiting! Darrell and I have been blessed with two beautiful and amazing children. I guess they were so great that God just couldn't wait to have them.
Thank you so much for ALL of your prayers, love, and support. We are absolutely heart broken right now. The Lord will carry us through.

my God I have no words... Your oldest was born after my youngest. I pray your family finds comfort and peace that only Jesus can offer.
ReplyDeletePrayers for you and your family through this hard time
ReplyDeleteI don't know you but my heart breaks for you. We lost our daughter 11 years ago to heart defects and reading about your beautiful children so freshens my memories of the intense indescribable pain. May you just know that the road is long and yet in years to come you will see how God truly carried you and changed you in ways you could never have imagined. He LOVES you! Care for each other, fall on Him and give yourself time. You will never see time in the same way. We are praying for you ...
ReplyDeleteYou are in my heart and prayers as you travel this journey. I cried with you last night and then thought of your baby boy Cade and all those in my family gone on to be with the Lord that were there waiting as she crossed over into the arms of Jesus.
ReplyDeleteMay you find peace, rest and comfort in Him and His word.
Much love and prayer,

My heart just sank when I came across this website. I cannot fathom the pain you are feeling right now. I have a young boy who is 4 1/2. I cannot imagine life without him. My heart goes out to you and your family heavily. I will keep you all in my prayers.

I'm praying for y'all all the time...may God give you peace.
ReplyDeleteI can only imagine what it will be like when I stand before our King, basked in his glory to one knee shall I fall, will I sing hallejuah or be able to sing at all, I can only imagine....the joy our Lord felt when to his open arms came your Addi. God doesn't take us Home one second before he needs us, whether at the age of 82 or 2. May His grace carry you and Darrell thru the minutes, hours, days, weeks, months and years ahead of this moment.
ReplyDeleteI lift you all up in prayer that God my give you peace. I can't even imagine your heart break; your strength and Faith in our Heavenly Father are abiding and true testament to us all. My daughter Megan Turley and I are here to help you all in anyway needed.
ReplyDeleteWords can not express the sorrow that I feel for your family. You will be in my prayers always.
ReplyDeleteAll my family have you in our prayers. So glad you have such great faith in God as he will help both of you.
ReplyDeleteI have followed your blog since last Summer. Your faithfulness to the Lord has always inspired me to draw closer and seek what God has for me. As a parent I don't want to imagine your pain. But you are an amazing Mom, and an even more amazing child of God. Thank you for sharing your courage. -D
ReplyDeleteI am friends with Lindsey and Brooks Perry, and although we haven't met, my prayers and heart are with you during this sad, sad time. Praying for peace, strength, and courage in the coming days.

ReplyDeleteI encourage you to join me in standing on Jesus’ promise contained in Matthew 18:19, “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.”, in prayer for Darrell and Susie Carpenter’s marriage. Father established marriage as His primary foundation on earth as there was no suitable helper for Adam found in all of creation and Father then created Eve as Adam’s helper and life mate. The enemy is going to attack this marriage from every angle over the coming days, weeks, months and years to destroy any and all peace, joy, happiness and love that might remain. We can be assured Cade and Addison are within the peace, love and joy of our Lord Christ Jesus. I was stirred to encourage one and all to take a minute right now to pray the protective armor of the Holy Spirit in, around and about this marriage also for Darrell and Susie individual as the enemy attempts to kill, steal and destroy this marriage. I encourage you all to regularly reflect on Susie and Darrell and pray within agreement over the coming days, weeks, months and years. They will need strength beyond their own understanding to withstand with perseverance.
ReplyDeleteRight now join me (Matthew 18:19), Jesus I plead to You in Your name as I stand on your promise in John 14:12-14 that Father be glorified through You as You send the Holy Spirit to wrap this marriage in the protective armor contained in the Holy Spirit that You build up defenses around them to deflect the fiery arrows of the enemy as their defenses are weakened and hurting by the loss of Cade and Addison. Jesus, have the Holy Spirit provide Darrell and Susie that peace, love, happiness and joy that is only found in You, give to them both individually right this very moment that as they begin to rebuild their lives that You draw them near, that the rebuilding be done with You and by You. You are our redeemer and our comforter. Jesus, I ask that this marriage be marked with Your Blood and protected by Your Blood and shielded with the Holy Spirit that the enemy find no areas to further destroy that which Father created. In Your mighty name Jesus, we pray, Amen

I am so so sorry. You are both in my prayers. I pray that Jesus will wrap His arms around you during this time and bring you peace that only He can bring. Your beautiful children are safe and healthy in His arms, waiting for the day you will all be reunited. I lost my baby last summer because her heart was not formed properly, and I look forward to being reunited with her everyday. Jesus will carry you through this even if you don't always feel Him and even if at times you can't even bring yourself to pray. Know that there are so many people on their knees for you.
ReplyDeleteDeuteronomy 31:6 "...the LORD your God goes with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you."
I am so sorry for your dual losses. Sending you peaceful vibes for your grieving process and healing ones when you're ready. Much love to all four of you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. We are praying for you and your husband.
ReplyDeleteI found this prayer at pray.nd.edu:
Though we cannot see the place
you have gone, we know that it is
better. Though you are not here,
we know that our lives are forever
intertwined with yours. Though
your earthly voice is silent, we
know that you will speak to our
hearts whenever we are in need.
Though you parted with your
last breath, your love is timeless
beyond the touch of death.
Though we cannot visit the place
right now, we believe we will be
by your side one day.
-Melissa Trevino Berendzen
I am so sorry to learn of your loss/pain. The message or lesson is not for any of us to understand at this time.How could we? I will pray that you two can find some peace with time. You two are real children of God and have been selected to be the loving parents of these two angels because you were strong enough and spiritually fit enough to be the ones to give them life. I believe as I hope that you do that you were selected with care. Its now time to show the world how they lived. I cant speak from experience regarding this tragedy. However, I can say that I believe. We are not skilled to understand the workings of God. We only have to trust that his plan is by far greater than anything that we could ever fathom.
ReplyDeletePraying for both of you all day and will continue to pray. Your unfailing, tender love for both of your precious children is so evident, unfailing & beautiful. Cade & Addi's lives have inspired so many people to sincerely pray more and focus on making sure they are ready to go to heaven. The joy you have for both of them is just a glimpse of how much JOY you & Darrell bring to the heavenly Father. He delights in you and the faithful trust that place in Him. Oh how you display that His grace & strength are real.
ReplyDeleteI'm a friend of Patty The Quilter. She has shared your story with me. I'm so sorry for your losses. Your strength and positive outlook are an inspiration.
