Losing a child or grandchild is most difficult.  Our family was excitedly anticipating the birth of a full-term granddaughter in 2000.   We were on our way to the hospital and learned that a problem with the umbilical cord had too quickly ended her life, before her birth.  We still grieve for this precious baby, named Angel.  I know that she is being cared for in Heaven and that one day I will again hold her.   Two years later, our daughter-in-law and son had a precious son who has been a joy to all of us, but there will always be a love for the little girl we did not get to keep with us on Earth.
