My little Deven is just two weeks older so I have been especially interested. I can't imagine losing him after being here for such a short time on earth. My heart goes out to the Dahle family. From reading the blog, I can tell Monnette is a strong person and definitely has an eternal perspective of life.Kathy@DandelionsandDustBunnieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09007409159430179893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010525493824489403.post-66767102893293517642009-04-06T11:00:00.000-06:002009-04-06T11:00:00.000-06:00I'm so sorry!

Our prayers are with your whole family to find peace and healing. I got goosebumps reading this post (just now for the first time) and reflecting on General Conference during which there was more than one talk (at least in part) that was directed towards those that have lost a child. I hope your sister and her family found comfort in the words that were spoken.jessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807294085752946241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8010525493824489403.post-24236752577106196832009-04-04T13:07:00.000-06:002009-04-04T13:07:00.000-06:00Mer, I'm so sorry.

It's defnitely integrally linked with the "bearing one another's burdens that they may be light." Thanks for helping to hoist the pack off of my shoulders! I appreciated reading about how you feel what I'm feeling.
