I tried to come up with a different topic for this post but couldn't think of anything but this. It has been a hard couple days dealing with the emotions that I have had. Eric has a player, Josh Hinkley, who we both love!! He and his adorable wife, Cali have anxiously been awaiting baby Mac, their first child, for the past 9 months. We have chatted at ball games and I have faithfully followed her blog to keep up on her progress. Each month she had different stages of what her little guy was doing and how big he was. It was their first - we all know the anticipation that is felt when we have our first child. I was talking to another players wife Thursday morning and found that Cali and Josh had lost their precious little man. My heart aches for this little family. Keep them in your thoughts and prayers. They are so strong and faithful and amazing. Our prayers are with you Josh and Cali!!!
Rather than leaving comments here, please link to their blog http://joshandcali.blogspot.com and leave your sympathies there. They have some beautiful pictures of their new little family. I am sure that all the words of comfort would mean alot to them.

Jess, my post partum hormones can't handle stuff like this... it made me bawl!
Yes you may add us to the former players list. We would love that. See you in a few days. And there was confusion on my part about the owlz game- just read the update, i will have to write a novel!
I know what you mean about crying all week! I have been doing the same. All I want to do is hold Covelli and Bailee!

Oh Jessica! I can not believe how quickly that all happened for those poor people. I just cried and cried while reading their blog. I am so amazed by their faithfulness in such a hard time! We will pray for them nightly!
Hope you are doing okay as well.
As far as I know they think it will be Wednesday. But I don't know a place or time. I think the family is just going to continue to leave details on Josh and Cali's blog. So keep checking there, but if I hear anything I will for sure let you know.
There is funeral information on the blog that has been set up for baby Mac. The link is on my page. There is a video... be ready to lose it! It's a tear jerker!
OK....That deleted comment was me. I wrote something....and then after I saw the baby's blog and watched that video....I felt it wasn't adequate. What a tragedy for that cute couple to have to deal with. They obviously love their baby so much. It honestly broke my heart. The song that was playing in the background was beautiful....and I can't even put into writing what I'm feeling for them right now. You're a great friend....and I'm sure you'll be there for them. Let me be there for you, if you need. I'm here.... I hope you know that. I'm telling you.... Things like that just kinda put everything into perspective, huh?? We all worry about so many things that just aren't that important, huh?? Your friends will be in my prayers and my thoughts....and even though I don't know them personally, their little boy will always be remembered in my heart. I hope they will be blessed with comfort and the overwhelming feeling of love during this hard time. I don't even know what else to say..... Mother to Mother, it just breaks my heart. I need to tell you one more thing though. I have a friend who had her little baby live for 3 days. We were talking about it one day, and I told her about how I'd had miscarriages....but I couldn't imagine having my baby die after he was BORN. I had to admit, I felt lucky to not have dealt with that kind of pain. Well, she said something so beautiful to me....and I've never, ever forgotten it. She told me she thought I had dealt with the worse situation. She felt so very lucky to have been able to be with her baby and hold him....even for a short time. She couldn't imagine how I must have felt, not being able to do so....and never seeing my baby's face. Can you believe that?? I thought it was an amazing thing to say. We all grieve differently....and deal with what life throws at us in different or unique ways, but we're all in this together. My heart, truly, goes out to them. If I can do ANYTHING for them, or for you, please PLEASE let me know. Love you.
Wow, I REALLY need to come visit now!!!
