• The last two nights Maria~Angelica has slept through the night about 9 hours straight! You would think that was good news, but I spend 7 of those hours worrying about her! I go in and out of her room to make sure she is breathing all throughout the night.  Over the weekend I put her in her own room because our coughing was waking her. She is still so little and leaving her in her own room is so daunting! She  hasn't out grown her Moses basket and she looks so lost in her crib so  I have placed her Moses basket  inside her crib and she sleeps so cozy and peacefully; she hasn't had any gas pains for the last two nights.

  
  

  I have gone through this with all my babies; I worry about them and find it VERY hard to fall asleep with them in their own rooms. They all have icons in their rooms  and I have always prayed for them asking  the Mother of God and all the Angels to protect them and then I make the sign of  the cross over them or Fr. blesses them. That should give me peace of mind.....but I still can't sleep peacefully. Please Lord give me peace of mind to know you are watching over my children and please bless and protect them.

  
  

  I am also very haunted by the death of poor little Lillian Entwistle and her mother Rachel. The pictures of that cute little baby girl are constantly in my mind. Last night I just tossed and turned thinking about this young family and the great pain their friends and family must be in and how sad it is that that sweet little baby will never grow up.  I think it is a combination of just having had a baby girl  myself and also the connection we have with England. Fr. and I were both students in England. We met through the Church and our friendships in London then we married and lived there for many years. Basil was also born in England like little Lillian.

  
  

  May God give rest to the souls of Lillian and Rachel and may he have Mercy on the person that took their precious lives.
