Alex Vanderveen, 2015


After a very difficult couple of weeks, today we laid our tiny son to rest. Alex Vanderveen lived, unborn, to 25 weeks. We wish desperately that things could have been different, but who are we to question the ways of the Lord?

We are so blessed to be surrounded with family and friends who have helped us through it all. We thank everyone for their prayers and support.

And Lily... where would we be without our Lily? She has been our true ray of sunshine during all of this.


Rest in peace, little Alex. We'll see you in due time.

    Grieving with you. We can't understand God's ways. It's so hard. "Trust God's heart when you cannot trace His hand." ~a quote from one of the Puritans, I think. May the words of one of our hymns comfort you: http://www.hymnary.org/hymn/TH1990/108
    Will be praying for you.

    I am so sorry to hear this, and thank you for sharing on here. I'm almost a month late but I'm sure you won't be put out if I still add you to my prayers. Hugs to you all.
