Happy 1st Birthday Noah!
What a day it was a year ago today! At the hospital by 6:00, meeting you at 8:22 a.m., family & friends near, bathing you, holding you and of course your blessing/baptism. Prayers flowed mightily that day that we would meet & hold you. Your fan club collectively held their breath. Oh, how those prayers were answered!! Mommy held you every moment that she could. You knew such love in your short time here. You were and are pure love forevermore!
Mommy put together some of our favorite pictures to special music. It’s her little labor of love and one little way we’ll celebrate your birthday today. (Click to see the Noah montage)
So many people think of you daily! We love when they tell us about those big and small ways you’re still around us. For some it’s rainbows, for others it’s butterflies, there are pennies, pictures, stars, candles, flowers, and those that picture you being held in the arms of their loved ones who are with you. It’s wonderful! Thanks for the enormous rainbow you sent us Sunday after the remnants of Hurricane Ike blew through! It was bigger than any I’ve ever seen!
Daddy & I hope you’ll see all the ways we’re remembering you today. We miss you and wish we could have you here for this momentous birthday. But we will settle for knowing you watch over us and you know how much we love you. Your life was too short but it was a brilliant light in the world. We know God chose you for us and us for you. We thank God every single day that we got the chance to know and love you.
Always & forever, Mommy & Daddy
