Bring the Rain - Blog

I don't know if anyone has read this blog, but it is incredibly powerful and humbling. Have your tissues handy. This blog is written by Angie Smith, wife of Todd Smith, one of the founding members of Selah. She began the blog, I believe, when they found out their youngest daughter would either die in utero or shortly after birth.

I read Bring the Rain all the time.

So much heartbreaking loss for their entire family. Hard to imagine one extended family losing two babies so close together.

I recently discovered this blog...I cry every time I read it...brings back way to many sad memories from a long time ago. But I do love how she writes...she is such an amazing writer.
