Anonymous said...: Our hearts were saddened by the news we received Friday evening, but at the same time we can rejoice that Logan is totally healed and no longer will have to feel any pain. He now knows how much he is loved and how he helped to bring so many closer to God. I thought back to a first grade Sunday school lesson I taught years ago and I told the kids that God always answers prayer(and He does). His answers are yes, no and wait. Certainly the first is the easiest to accept because it is in line with what we humanly desire. But God sees the big picture and the future that we don't and is all wise and knowing. I trust Him even though He would slay me but sometimes there is much pain and questions. We will all have many questions to ask someday and I'm sure God has set aside a few million years for those and I think He expects it. Our heart and prayers are with all the family and we continue to pray for precious Olivia.

Love and prayers

I hold you in my heart and prayers. We hate to turn loose of those we love; but Logan is with the Lord -- I believe that his tiny little life made more of an impact on more people than most people make in a long lifetime.

Love and prayers to Olivia and the whole family. Shelly K.; October 1, 2007 at 11:33 AM

I didn't have school Thursday or Friday to get updates, and I couldn't check at home because I don't have internet. So I found out yesterday at church. Lots of tears were shed and I'm sure that the kleenex budget went soaring, but I felt awful.
Mary said that the only thing Logan ever really felt or knew was pain. I didn't tell her this, but that's not entirely true. Logan knew Love. He knew that he had two of the most loving and caring parents that any child would be lucky to have. He knew everytime when you or any body from his family was there. He could feel the presence of his loved ones. He loved every story read and every song sang.
The first thing Logan said when he saw the Lord was
"Lord, please help my mom and dad. They are very sad and they need to know that you have a plan for my sister. She is very strong and needs our help. It would make my momma real happy if you would give her a great big hug! And dad too, please. God, please let them know that I'll be alright. And that I love them very much. Oh, God, please tell my sister that I love her too."
And as he took his first step into heaven, he was welcomed with a pair of beautiful wings.
Now, Jodi and Ryan,
don't think that this is the end of Logan. Oh, don't even start to think that way. Because he'll be back. Sooner or later than you expect it, he'll be right back here on this earth.
And when he his...You will be the first people to know.
Stay Strong
Love you all,

Never Before

NEVER BEFORE
by Jodi Glunt

Never before have I known such love
As that which I feel in my heart.
My beautiful daughter, although physically petite
Fills up an enormous part.

Never before have I seen such strength
From a person who weighed but a pound.
And yet she’s a fighter through and through
With very little that gets her down.

Never before have I heard such laughter
With an energy and zest for life.
She consistently shows me the wonder and joy
While overlooking the pain and strife.

Never before have I felt such mercy
From a God who has allowed me to raise
This miraculous, amazing daughter of mine
On earth, throughout all of my days.

A micropreemie shattering every prediction
About the life she had in store.
Teaching us all about the miracles within us
That we never quite realized before.

Playing In Heaven Instead by Jodi Glunt

You were the perfect little boy
Of whom we always dreamed.
Did you know we had your name picked out?
All along or so it seemed.

You even had your daddy’s hands
So miniature in size.
In life we never got to hold you
Or even see your opened eyes.

We had so many plans for you.
Did you know you are a twin?
I wanted you to grow up together.
What a pair you would have been!

I wanted to take you to the park
And push you on the swing.
I wanted to teach you how to walk,
And read and write and sing.

I wanted to show you a fire truck
And let you ride upon a horse.
I wanted to take you to the zoo
To see the giraffes, of course.

I wanted you to watch cartoons
And play video games with dad.
And you and I would take a nap
Oh, the times we would have had.

But, your mommy’s plans were not to be.
“I have other plans,” God said.
“You won't be playing in life’s playground
You’ll be playing in heaven instead.”

And although I ache with sadness
And in my arms I long to hold.
I’ll see you again in heaven
When my story on earth’s been told.

A Poem

A thousand tiny fireflies
Parading through the night
Illuminate the starless skies
With incandescent light
They are miracles, here on earth
So bold, so strong, so wise
And bring to life a sense of worth
For those who lack great size.

Some of this life’s smaller treasures
Are the ones which matter more
Than the larger joys and pleasures
That we have grown to adore
Volume is not as essential
As the gift that lies inside
Smaller souls with much potential
Who shall never be denied.

A thousand tiny fireflies
Parading through the night
Illuminate the starless skies
With incandescent light
These children, while born premature
Are testaments of worth
Their spirits bold, their futures sure
To ever bless the earth.
