Tomorrow we head home to Texas. We left 3 days after Phoebe passed. The house was full of beautiful funeral flowers, but so empty of her presence. We had to get away. We have spent the last two weeks traveling with our boys and enjoying the blessing of just being together. We are ready to come home, but a little nervous as well. We know Phoebe’s empty room will be waiting for us, a stark reminder of her absence. Please pray for us as we transition into this new season. We are so thankful for all of the messages and sweet rememberances of our girl.
~Amey
We continue to think of you and pray for you often. Praying for grace and peace in the midst of this difficult transition. We send love and hugs.
The praying continues. Blessings to you all.
Continued prayers for you all..always.
I will be praying for you. I know God will be near to you as you return home.
Continue to pray for your family through this transition.
Praying for you—for all of you.
Remember how many and how much people LOVE YOU ALL.
God is with you-who can be against you
Prayers for peace to surround and console you all as you return home. And extra prayers for simple joy in each day as you remember your sweet Phoebe’s light. She is praying with Jesus to send you her love and courage, along with all of us!
There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t miss and grieve the loss of my most fairest of them all–Phoebe~~~and, while I know that now she is no longer in pain…and is made whole…I can find our Lord’s perfect peace in that promise. My prayers are with you,.Amey, with Nathan, and with your 3 sons as you return home to what will become your “new normal”…and, I feel that you all will find a way to incorporate sweet, most precious Phoebe into each and every day~~~at the end of all your sons’ lessons, maybe just sit, wind down your school day and discuss, “what would sweet, precocious Phoebe have thought about that lesson?” What a perfect way to end each day of study….may God continue to look down on your family…and be gracious unto thee, and instill such great hope for the future into all of you as your bright Phoebe Star shines so brightly down on you~~~
I’m sorry Amey. I know it will be hard for all of you but God will give you amazing strength. I will be praying for you, Nathan & the boys. God bless you with grace & peace. Phoebe will always be with all of you, close & in your hearts.
Dear Amey, you have been on my heart and mind the past several days. Last night, I heard on the radio that Steven Curtis Chapman, in the wake of the death of their daughter and with the comfort he clung to from the knowing that we will be forever united with our loved ones in the Lord for all eternity, was encouraged with these words He felt that God was speaking to him: ‘I want to bring you out of the forest, and your daughter is ahead of you. She’s a greater part of your future than she is of your past. And I’m leading you out, I’m leading you into this new place.’
Praying for you all!
Yes, it will be difficult. Praying that Jesus has moved into Phoebe’s room while you were gone and you only feel his presence.
It is not easy, it is always painful process … but we are together in prayer!
God bless you all! I still miss my sons, but they were older, and neither were living with me…. so I don’t know the pain of coming home to their room. I do KNOW that you all are a strong family and a blessed family…and GOD will be with you. He will walk this season just as he has every season wiht all of you! You are all in my thoughts and prayers. WE can all remember some wonderful memories of our loved ones. Try to focus on the happy, healthy Phoebe that is soaring high with the angels and watching down over all of you until in God’s time YOU ALL will be together again forever!
Thinking of you all and still praying for the family and Phoebe as well. I never had the pleasure of meeting her, but I miss her. Looking forward to seeing you all soon when you have settled in from your vacation.
Lots of love and hugs,
Lety
Praying for you all in this new chapter of life.

Gentle hugs to all of you.

Fair family-I am one, of the many, who have not met you yet we carry you all in our hearts, grieve for dearest Phoebe and are continuous in our prayers for you. I wanted to say thank you, so much, for your graciousness to us all in posting updates as you walk through this hard place. I continue to look every day hoping to know how it is going and what we can be praying for specifically. You are so greatly loved-by our Father, certainly, but by many many more as well. Rest and abide.
Your Family is in Our prayers. May The peace of Our Lord Jesus fall afresh on you all, and an abundance of his mercies and grace, as this new season unfolds.
My heart and prayers are with you all. As a mom I feel your pain…not the real pain but the agony of the thought of dealing with what you are.
Amey,
It’s great that you, Nathan and the boys got away together for a while, and although coming home will be difficult at times, God’s love will see you through the tough times. We pray for your family always.
I continue to pray for you daily. My thoughts turn to you so often. I hope that your boys are well and that you and Nathan are finding comfort in being together. I’m reminded of Phoebe in daily life as I pick up after my 2-1/2 year old… cheerios, Hello Kitty, scattered shoes. It brings tears daily and I pray for you earnestly, because I know that compared to yours…my grief only touches the surface. Please know that your family is loved, by so many. And that we are lifting you in prayer.
Hoping and praying that you time away was a chance for your family to bond closer together. It will be tough, heading home, but Father is with you and so many are praying for you.
I will be praying. Home is good. It will become your new normal – and you will live through this, with God as your strength. I know because we have been there too. I will be praying.
Oh, such wisdom, and Thank You, God, that y’all had the time and space and resources to do just exactly what you’ve done! I lift the 5 of you in a basket to the Lord for His Lovingkindness to support and bolster you as you go back to your home and start to commence to resume your lives as God has ordered your footsteps. ~grateful you have each other!
Thinking and praying for you all.
My prayers are with you and your family.

I wanted to encourage you that you are not alone in being nervous about going home. We were too! We left town right after Bethany’s graveside service and had time as a family to grieve and laugh together. It is hard going back and trying to pick up life that feels so broken. I will be praying for you all and know if you ever want to talk to another mom that is still very new to having a child in heaven, I would love to :). May God surround your home and hearts with His never fading love and peace!!!
Though we have never met in person………… I love you. Lifting you before our KING.
I am glad you took time away to get away even though she was with you in heart and spirit. Healing won’t come quick or easy but I thank God that you have a Christian Faith to get you thru this time. Thought it was so sweet that the boys took turns setting where Phoebe usually sat in the car. They will help you in the healing process. Love you all and Aunt Amy too! Tell her hello, she kept me posted on what was going on with Phoebe even tho she had never met me!
Great Big Texas Hugs
