Alec passed away early this morning. We were all with him, and I stroked his head and told him how much I loved him. My heart is breaking and I have never known so much sorrow. I know that God was with us because there is no way we could have gone through the last few days without him.
I feel so blessed to have had Alec in my life for 5 wonderful years. I would not trade that for the world.
Thank you all for your endless love, support and prayers. I am forever grateful.

My life is better having known Alec, so many good memories. He was not only my brother in law, but a good friend. The hurt and sorrow that we have now is softened knowing that he is watching over us from a much better place.
ReplyDeleteHeather, your courage, strength and faith has been inspiring. You are truly an amazing person and I consider myself so lucky to have you as my sister in law.
Miss you Alec.
Much Love,
Bob
Heather, your beautiful blog has been so inspiring. God has heard a ton of prayers for Alec...I know God welcomed him with open arms.
ReplyDeleteI guess Alec's last gift to you was that you no longer need to worry about him ....he is all better....better than ever and from now on he will be looking over and taking care of you.
We love you and will continue to pray for you and Chase.

Below is a quote that I read when I was going difficult time in my life that provided me with some comfort and I thought I would share it with you...
His Everlasting Arms! written by Ann Luna
"I cried, Lord, I'm so afraid tonight! There's no rest for my sould. Besieged by worry, fear, and pain, I tossed and turned and rolled...I Prayed! Lord, send your angel, someone to hold my hand, someone to touch my broken heart and say, 'I understand!' I prayed! Lord, send a candle to light this long, dark night, a flame to warm and cheer me, to set my sould alright. I prayed! Lord send...then, that was all - for what He sent to me was Peace! His everlasting arms carried me off to sleep!!"
Stay strong!
