  I need everyones help on this one no matter who you are! I need you to pray for my sister, see she is pregnant. About 5 months along and her body is trying to reject the baby. She needs all the prayer she can get right now if she does loose this baby it would be the second lose. So please pray for her as much as you can or as often as you want anything would help, anything at all... :'(
                  Love ya,

Stacy! I'd be happy to pray for your sister! As I told you, I have a daughter; I also have two sons. But when I was married my wife and I lost three babies in miscarriages. It's so sad; it really is losing a child, even though the child has not been born yet, because the family goes into "having a baby" mode, and everybody asks about the baby and all, you know how it is, and then it's just so devastating. We lost three children that way, and we really wanted them, and thought they were coming; we planned for them. Several women friends of mine whom I love dearly have lost children in this way, and it's so terribly sad. Thanks be to God that we did have the three safe and sound. So many women lose babies in this way, especially with the first pregnancy, as was the case with us; but it can happen with any pregnancy, as we found out to our sorrow subsequently. In any case, I will most certainly pray for her. I'm actually a pretty simple soul, a really quite uncomplicated Deutsche Evangelische German Lutheran; I pray all the time anyway, so I'll just add one thing more, and be happy to do so. Life is hard and strange, but I have had a lot of answered prayers, close calls and near misses, so I never give up. My sweet Silke shining in the sky is a miracle every day she lives; she is an entirely supernatural creature. If she can make it, anybody can; her life has taught me to never give up, even when I've felt like it. I think I've finally learned to never stop hoping, dreaming, wishing, believing, praying. You can tell your sister I'm praying for her. I think it's so beautiful that we have all become so close here on the site. We really have a wonderful community here; we are becoming a family.

Thank you very much for some reason I feel that she will need all the prayer she can get. Her husband and her daughter that is 5 are that indeed they were in "having a baby" mode. If she does end up having a miscarriage this would be her second one. As much as she says the first one didnt bother her as much, I know it did. I know her better then most people well more then she would ever admit to. As much as we may fight I hope everything goes alright with her and her baby. And Steven I know how it is to have something or someone in your life that has happened, that just gives you hope everyday and shows you that you should never give up on something. I think to a point everyone has someone in their life like that even if they dont know it at the time. All best wishes goes out to those that need it..
Love ya,
Stacy...

Thank you, Stacy. Life has taught me never to give up; I will never give up on your sister and her baby, just as I will never give up on my Pfeffermaus, who always pulls a miracle out of her magic hat, when all seems lost and everyone despairs.
