Grayson is being laid to rest today at 2:00 p.m. I cannot stop thinking about Tanika and her husband. My heart hurts and my eyes well with tears every time I think about them and the pain I know they are feeling. I am in awe of her incredible faith. She still is looking to God, her greatest source of strength. When I first heard the news I was driving on the 826 on my way to school. Just picture me in back to back traffic with tears streaming down my face :(.
I am so upset about this! I asked my husband "how much more can one family take?" I do not undertsand why.
A huge thank you to those of you who stopped by and to Michelle who posted something on her blog (her own accord). Baby Grayson's obituary can be accessed at http://m.legacy.com/obituaries/greenvilleonline/obituary.aspx?n=israel-grayson-dillard&pid=155008487.
Please keep flooding her with love as we all know the days to come will be difficult.
I love you Tanika and Chris and I am sending prayers, love and hugs your way. I so wish I could be there with you today but know I am thinking about you.

Marie,
ReplyDeleteThey continue to be in my prayers and thoughts. This shook me to the core and left me in tears. I know our community will wrap her in our love. Sadly, I just wish we could do more.
BIG HUGS

ReplyDeleteBe the first to experience the lives of Chris & Tanika's journey through life, loss and love like you've never seen before. Reading this book will cause you to laugh and cry; to be optimistic for the future while being haunted by the past. Building A Family Breaks My Heart is just not "my" story, it's "our" story. It's for every mother and father who loves a child that they can't touch. It's for everyone who mourned the loss of an anticipated pregnancy and child. It's for marriages that are not sure how to recover after heartbreak and for those who need hope to counter their despair.
I'm excited to share this book and our children with the world. So many stories go untold and parents silently grieve the child that they've longed for, but this one will change your life!!!
