It is with a very heavy heart that I write this post. I know some of you already know Jon and Ali's story, but many of you do not. My RA from college, Ali Feldman (Watts) and her husband Jon lost their baby girl, Emmalee, last year. She was born with possible brain damage, blood clots in her heart, and even had to have heart surgery. She went home to be with the Lord after only 2 short weeks of life. Just this past fall, Ali found out she was expecting again...and with twins! Everyone that knows Ali was so excited for her! What a blessing...and 2 of them to boot! Everything seemed to be going so well. However, both boys were born yesterday at 21 weeks and died 19 minutes afterwards. In a short year, Jon and Ali have lost 3 children. Please keep them in your prayers. I am sharing her story with you today because she believes that God has truly given them a testimony to share. The following is Ali's blog so you may follow her unbelievable story: http://feldmancrew.blogspot.com/

julia, how unbelieveably sad. as i sit and read the tears fill my eyes. thank you for this post, not for the terrible traedy, but for reminding me how blessed i truely am. charlie is out of town for the next several weeks and tonight has been rough for several reasons, but i just keep thinking " i can't do this by myself". i guess someone always has more struggles in life than i do. i will be praying for your friends.
julia, i just don't know how they do it. only by the grace of God could anyone get through something as tragic as that. i can't even imagine what they must be going though. i feel so terrible for them both. you should never have to bury a child and they have had to do it three times. please pass my prayers along to them in their time of need.
