Putting "pen to paper" this is what I came up with this morning. It didnt take me long (10 mins with editing) but I thought I would share it...

I held you close last night to me
As you coughed, cried, and wheezed.
I held back my own tears
As I saw yours hit my knees

I rubbed your hair, kissed your head
And said "it will be okay"
But deep inside my heart did crack
And those words were hard to say

You looked at me with tear filled eyes
As you coughed right from your core
"Don't be sad dear mommy" you whispered
This broke my heart some more

Finally you fell asleep
I tucked you in your bed
Gave you a extra special kiss
On the very top of your head

I listened to you breath
As I walked out your bedroom door
I then heard your sister cough
My heart then broke some more

Going to her I held her close
As I wiped away more tears
From my eyes they fell this time
My mind filling now with fear

What will tomorrow bring?
I asked HIM in the sky
Why are my girls sick I questioned?
Please God tell me why?

I sat there for a moment
With the baby in my arms
I felt if I was holding her
She would experience no more harm

No more coughing or heartache
No more tears would fall
Looking at that baby girl
I had never felt so small

Unable to make them better
unable To take away their pain
I drew up all the strength I could
And spoke to HIM again

I know its been awhile I said
But I know you were always there
I don't expect a miracle
Just want you to be fair

Please give me strength I'll need tomorrow
And the many days ahead
and as I put the baby down
HE wiped a tear and kissed my head

What a beautiful poem that was able to put how we feel into words.

I still go to church all the time and I believe it is where I get my strength to live each week. I also have a great support system there and there is another family with 2 girls with CF. Gretch and I are able to help one another from time to time and have a person that understands the lingo. Her girls are young enough that my son and them don't have much, if any, contact so it works out great for us.

I don't think that I could not do this without my faith, yet, going to church has little to do with my faith it just helps to have that contact and connection. Being a PK though, I am aware that there are other ways to make a connection with God and other ways to praise and worship Him. He is obviously speaking to you right where you are and doesn't need a building to speak to you as long as you are open and listening to Him.

Beautifully written,
Warm Hugs,

By the way, religion is not what saves or is important, the thing that saves and is important is your relationship with God, and you can have a relationship with Him anywhere
