I'm sorry that I am so late in the day posting this but this little angel has been on my mind all day long.

Some of you will remember the loss of Molly McGovern's baby boy earlier this year.
Today would have been his first birthday.

Please offer a special prayer tonight on behalf of the McGovern family.

Molly, you and your family have been in my thoughts and prayers all day.

Thank you Cay, your angel must be whispering our name in your ear. Prayers are much needed today, and I thank you all for your thoughts, words and prayers!

We tried to go out and have fun today, the children did, I tried to pretend    We did do something productive, I share it only to plant the reminder of others this season. We had heard of a family in Pgh Pa. in great need! They have a 3 yr old boy in need of gifts so we bought him Olivers would be b-day gifts. And threw in Christmas as well....it buoyed my spirits to buy gifts for another dear boy in need. The girls decided that Oliver would defiantly approve of us giving to another little boy. It was truly generous of my dd's as they decided to forgo a movie in order to by the other family a x-mas tree, and candy. I was so impressed with their willingness to give up that new Penguin movie..in order to give to people we don't even know. It makes me realize that suffering for children can and does mold their conscience.
Thank you again..

Oh Molly, I am praying for you. I thought about you and little Oliver the other day, although I didn't realize that his birthday was approaching. May God give you all continued comfort.

Molly, I am sure that little Oliver is smiling at you all from heaven for the wonderful thing you did in his name yesterday. It warmed my heart to read your story.

I will keep you all in my prayers.
