Francis Michael




As most of you know, we lost our littlest baby at 11 weeks gestation. It was a great sadness. But we know that this little baby was not meant for Earth, and God knows best in all things. We were able to have a simple burial service for the baby with just our little family. It was very beautiful, and healing. These pictures are from the Catholic cemetary where we buried little Francis Michael. So we have a saint interceding for us in Heaven. Little Francis, pray for us!

Thanks for posting about this Cath. My heart has been with you all. I'm glad you had the courage to write about Francis Michael. Even the smallest of human life is worth honoring and acknowledging. And no one feels the loss quite like you...so thanks for being open about it.
Love you all,
Cal

Thank you so much,Catherine, for sharing this with us. Dad and I wish we could have been at the prayer service for Francis Michael in person. We love you very much, and are praying for you always.

Hi Catherine,

I've been so busy lately that I haven't been blogging or writing comments. But I'm so sorry about your loss of little Francis. This sounds like a healing and beautiful goodbye you gave him. Much love to all five of you.
