A day meant for praying...

For a Friday this has been pretty crappy. It's unfortunate when you look forward to a day all week and when it gets here it becomes the worst day of the week.

I received two pieces of bad news today...

The CEO of my company whom, made our office feel more like a family rather then a normal business environment lost his fight with cancer this morning. I know that he is in a better place now but my heart hurts for his family including his eight children who surrounded him with love during his last minutes on earth, for his friends whom he treated like family and for his employees who loved & respected him like a father.

I pray that all that love him are comforted and find strength when they feel like they do not have any left.

My friend, and infertility sister on the other side of the country had her egg retrieval yesterday for their first IVF after three years of infertility. Unfortunately only 2 out of the 13 eggs retrieved were able to be fertilized.

I pray that she and her husband find peace in the fact that although their results were less then they had hoped for that the two remaining embryos grow into the beautiful babies that they have dreamed and prayed so long for.

Please keep both of these wonderful families in your prayers; one that has lost a member and the other so desperately trying to gain one.

For no prayers unanswered and no prayer unheard
