Happy Birthday Elijah! Mommy miss's you. We all miss you! You are still so ever present in our hearts and minds. I know you always will be.
Today I wonder what you would have been doing if you were still with us. What you would have looked like. Would your hair have grown? Maybe you would have needed a hair cut on your first birthday. Would you be crawling? Trying to walk? Saying mommy or daddy? What would today be like if you were still here?
We are all doing pretty well. Life is a struggle sometimes but you know all about that. You had a lot of struggle in your short life. I remember how bravely and patiently you took it all. I remember your smile through a lot of pain and trial. People had to poke and prod you a lot and even though you didn't like it you seemed to always love them anyway.
You know, we learned a lot from you my little baby. Seems funny that adults learn from one so small, but we did. I hope I never forget those lessons learned.
Yes, I do forget and yes, I do fail a lot but I will always remember you and with that I will keep trying to be like you.
I wish everyone could have known you. I think this world would be a better place if they did. You were a little reflection of God and that is something many people don't see very often. If they would, maybe life wouldn't be so hard for so many people. I did see and I know if I just keep my eyes focused on the things you saw my life would be a lot easier.
So, as you play on those heavenly streets send a little prayer down for your family and all those who touched your life. Pray they can reflect God just like you did so more people can have that glimse of eternity.
I miss you but I am so glad you are free!
Forever your mommy

Hi Lori,
Just wanted to let you know that I still check up on your blog every once in awhile. I'm so glad to hear that you were able to move into your new home and that your family enjoyed your camping trip.
I'm sure today was a hard day as you thought about your sweet precious baby boy. I can really relate to lessons learned through our precious children. Luke my little guy has pneumonia, he is still very sick, but Praise God he is not in the Hospital. God is faithful!
Love in Christ,

hi-your blog has moved me to tears--we also know the pain of saying goodbye on Oct.9 2003) to a little son who was almost 5 months old. He spent all but one week of his life in Children's Hosp of Columbus, OH. WE too rejoice that he is with our Heavenly FAther and is runing on the streets of Heaven. But there are times when anniversaries, incidents,etc move us to tears cause we miss our little Lane Alex. God bless your family in a very special way. janae yoder of Plain City, OH
