Life is Cruel

Today I woke to some very sad news. I for the life of me will never understand how a loving and forgiving GOD can be so cruel. I received a call yesterday from a girlfriend, truth be told someone who is closer like a sister. She was calling to tell me she was in the hospital due to some complications with her babies.

We found out she was pregnant with twins in the very early stages. Babies were due in September but expected to come in August. I spoke with her twice yesterday and I could tell she was nervous but seemed to find comfort that she was in the hospital and the latest was that they would take the babies on Tuesday or Wednesday.

She has only been married just over a year and was very excited to be adding to her already growing family. She has a biological daughter, two daughters she has adopted and a step son. They would be a modern day "Brady Bunch" as the twins are boys. Malachy and Ezekiel are their names.

At this point I don't know what happened but sometime during the night or the early hours of this morning she lost both babies. I cannot imagine anything more cruel than this for a woman to experience. My heart breaks for her. I am sure she is questioning GOD and I pray he gives her and her husband the strength to make it through.
