You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you
I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home
I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again
And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

This is a sweet thing that you did for your sister and her husband. But if you have not already gave it to her.
You might wait for 6 months to a year before doing so.
I lost a child also. He lived for 3 hours. It might be to hard for her right now to have this. The pain is still to freash. Please just give her some time. You will know when the time is right. But its not time yet. Take it from some one who know's.
I have been there and done that. Its been 34 years now and the pain is still there. I was just at his grave in Michigan in Aug. 2 days after what would have been his 34 B-Day.
Let me tell you that was so very hard to be there again. Had not been there in over 12 years when my mom passed away.
I live in Tucson Az so I can't always go there. And its a good thing for I would fall apart to much.
In God's loveing care my your sister and all of you be. Till they meet their baby again.
