Praying for Peyton..

Unreal...

“ That Friday was unreal” John said. “ I’ll never forget it as long as I live.”
“It just kept going, you know - like it wasn’t going to stop”
His voice trailed off a bit as he said it a second time. “It just kept going…”
He shook his head slowly in disbelief and then looked away. He seemed to stare off into a distant void. Was it just a bad dream?

This is a story of premature babies – the ones who make it and the ones who don’t.
It’s also a story of how couples, and co-workers move forward after a loss. {*1}

When a baby announcement is made at work, everyone knows how to respond.
Its simple - we congratulate, we celebrate and we buy gifts.

But how do you respond, when a friend, a loved one or even a co-worker like John and his wife Becky loose a premature baby?
(We lose over 25 thousand preemies every year here in America) {*2}

So what do you say when someone looses a baby? How do you act?
In a work environment, many of us don’t know what to say - so we say very little.

(This is kind of long.. the rest is linked here:)
