Anthony Indihar

Our hearts connected due to events a mother should never have to endure...yet we did...and do...every day of our lives.  I still remember that day we met, up at the cemetery.  It was comforting to talk to another mom who understood the pain.  Yet, I thought how unfair that another mom must endure this agony!  I watched the slideshow.  I love that song.  It brings me to tears every time I hear it, as I always think of Donny.  Now Anthony too.  I know had I watched that slideshow before Rachel was born it would've hit home anyway but I just have to say that knowing how it feels to watch your baby grow and learn...and to loose your precious bundle of joy...well...I will never fully understand.  Please God don't let me ever understand completely.  I DO understand however loosing your baby...whether he is 6 days old or a year old or 20 years old....they are always your baby.  I get the pain of not having him in your arms, wondering what he'd be doing, what he'd like, not like, say.  I am so sorry you must face this everyday for the rest of your life.  Just know, you are never alone.  I am here, I understand.  Our hearts will forever be connected....thank you Donny and Anthony for helping your mommies' paths cross so that we may never be alone on this journey of mothering an angel.  We love you boys!

My friend Dana sent me the link to this page and asked me to stop by to remember someone she loved very much.

I can't imagine the pain you must feel every day at his loss. I have a one year old daughter, and while I was watching the slide show, I started to cry. The song filled my heart with so much love, and so much empathy for your family. The words "I wonder who you'd be today" struck a chord in me. I didn't know Anthony, but I do know who is he TODAY. He is your Angel. He is looking down on you and is sitting with our Father up in Heaven, watching and protecting you.

The one-worded question "WHY?" must have been asked a thousand times by Anthony's loved ones. And although you can't expect to know the answer to that question, what I hope you do know is that there is a reason for everything. In your prayers, ask God for His wisdom. Search for it, seek it, need it. In His word lies all you need to know this side of eternity. The rest will be answered for you when you meet with your beautiful little Anthony in Heaven.

"For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul, Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you." Proverbs 2:10-11

There is one more verse I'd like to quote: "However many years a man may live, let him enjoy them all." Ecclesiastes 11:8. I hope you find comfort in the fact that you helped Anthony to have the best days of his life. I see how happy he was ... the smiles, the hugs, family and friends, all that love! You gave to him that happiness that was spoken of in the Bible. And for that you should be forever proud.

My condolences.
