Little Layla has touched a LOT of lives, and I'm touched to hear that you are one of those. I know it means a great deal to Ryan and Shanna to see the ripple effects that Layla's life is having. It doesn't take away the sorrow and the loss, but it does help to give meaning and purpose to all this. As you ask some of those deeper questions of life and faith, I will gladly do anything I can to answer questions or simply pray for you in that journey. You are taking the right first step by praying to him. It doesn't have to be anything formal or scripted -- just talk to him. He's there, listening, and waiting to lead you to the next step. God bless that journey that you are on! -- Pastor Michael Melanie,

I too found your blog through little Layla Grace, and I have to tell you that I was not raised "religiously" or to believe in "God", per se...but I am finding comfort as well in your writings, and they are making sense to me. Though I haven't known "God" before, I have been praying nearly nonstop for little Layla and the Marsh family for the past week--something I have never done before. Also praying for a friend who is in the hospital, and another friend who is dying of cancer. I take nothing for granted, especially not my own 8 month old daughter and my husband. I do not consider myself materialistic, and this has further led me to want a simpler life, and to help others even more if possible. I just wanted to let you know and I will continue to read on your site for my education. Thank you for your excellent and comforting writings, and for being there for the Marsh family during this difficult time. Hello from a new reader.
