6 Years Old

My little Noah,

You would have turned 6 last month! It's hard to imagine what it would be like to have a 6 year old boy around here. It certainly would have changed our family! We might have more Legos and train sets than Barbies and My Little Ponies. Your little brother, he's coming up just fine, but he doesn't have those things yet. He's still into his teethers and rattles. You would have loved this life, Noah. Your siblings are amazing little people. You mom and dad are happy and so filled with joy about this journey our family is on. Even in times that we are faced with stressful challenges, we know that we will be ok no matter what because we have been so blessed. You blessed us. There's a lot of love here, son. Your spirit is still here. Even though we long for you to be here with us now, we know that your journey here was meant to be short. God had his plans for you and for us, and we trust Him. We miss you, and we thank you for being such a great teacher.

Love, Mom

Thank you God for these three little lives I carried. Each of them has made me better. Amen.
