I don't know what to call this post, I had a hard time writing it too because I just don't know what to say.
Early Sunday morning baby Honyar died in Turkey after receiving heart surgery almost a week ago. She was 5 months old and had a large hole in her heart. Baby Honyar endured a very difficult surgery and never came out of ICU. She died because her pulmonary pressure could not stabilize and it got too high. She put up a valiant fight, but God has called her home. We ask that you keep Honyar’s mother in your thoughts and prayers as she copes with the death of her first child in a foreign country away from her husband and family. Also, please pray for Honyar’s father and family as they prepare to receive their loved ones back from Turkey. Pray for comfort and peace that only the Lord can give. We have no explanations or answers other than that the doctors and medical staff did everything within their power, but God is the one who holds life and death. We are all grieving with this family, but not as those who have no hope. Pray for Hope for this family today, because in the midst of all of this pain and sorrow, that is really all we have… Hope.
