I should be holding you while you try your first bite of cake and enjoy a party in your honor. I wish I could have sung Happy Birthday to you and given you your first birthday gift. I wish you could play with balloons with Melody, Lila, and Isaac, and that we could all take a stroll and enjoy some fresh air together.
Last year this day was one of the best of my life. I have come to accept that my heart and our family will always have a hole in it, but thank you for sharing yourself with our family. If only I could hold you one more time.
Ashley, thinking of and praying for you. This post brought tears to my eyes. I am so sorry you have had to go through this and am continuously amazed by your strength and courage. I pray God will bring you peace, give you hope, and show you His love. Let me know if I can do anything for you or your family. Sending you much love and many hugs <3
ReplyDeleteAshley, I first read about your loss on the Faith and Family website. I cannot imagine the pain you have endured. I will be remembering you, Jonah, and the rest of your family in my prayers. I pray his first birthday was not too painful for you all. God bless you all.
ReplyDeleteOh Ashley. That made me tear up. There will be a place in the hearts of so many people for him - even those who never had the privilege to meet him. We love you and your family. Big hugs to you all.
