We're just 8 days away from THAT day. The day he'll be gone as long as he was here. Joshua died 59 days ago.
Look at my precious boy. He was so handsome. I love his little face and squinty eyes.
He was inside my shirt in that picture - having some honest to goodness skin-to-skin time. :)
I remember thinking like he felt a part of me. He was so warm I couldn't tell where he was exactly - I remember feeling like I was still pregnant - like he was still safe. He was so gorgeous with his arm tucked up like that. Looks like he's sun bathing. :)
that is beautiful.Isnt it amazing the comfort a baby takes in his mothers arms... I cant believe that 'that day' is almost here and although they have never stopped my prayers will be with you even more so :) As for the whether or not you will try again soon I absolutely understand your fear(or as much as someone can not having gone through everything you did) I had a really scary experience with the birth of my last son and it has left me petrified for if I ever have another...As always- hope everyone is doing okay...And Joshua looks gorgeous .
ReplyDeleteSusie, do you have a private post box or something?
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Beloved, he is so very handsome. *smile* Such a kissable face.
Do you rather say was, to is? (well, not rather, but you know what I mean, I hope) I guess, as I've never been in the situation, I'm not sure of what phrasing to use.
It was disorienting for a second to open your blog and see Joshua there. It was like he was still with us here on earth.
ReplyDeleteDo you have any of your own baby pictures to compare with Joshua's? He looks so much like it, it would be interesting to see if you looked alike as a baby, too.
Oh what a beautiful photo, you both look so content and so alike.
ReplyDeleteNever have I seen a babe so comfortable in his Mother's arms.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful boy.
I love that picture...What a handsome little boy. It is so unbelievable that that much time has passed already. I am so thankful that you were able to make the memories you did while he was here on this earth and love him as well and as much as you did. I continue to pray for your family.
ReplyDeleteI love your new hair cut, btw! It is very cute. Must be the season for new do's. My daughter and I got our hair cut recently to donate to locks of love. I cut a 12 inch pony tail...talk about feeling naked!
Praying that you have a blessed day!
What a precious baby boy! You are in my thoughts and prayers as I read your updates each time. Thank you for letting us love your family from a far.

Bittersweet. His hands, I loved his tiny little hands---those delicate little fingers. I'm so glad I was able to get to 'know' him here. thank you for sharing him with us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture of the two of you.
ReplyDeleteOur pastor was preaching this past weekend on Mother's Day and read the "be strong and courageous" passage, so I had to leave a comment telling you I felt compelled to pray for you & your family.
Oh, those beautiful lips! And that sweet little arm and the chin resting on it. Too Sweet!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture and memory susie! I love it, he is just soooo cute! We still pray for you guys often, I just wanted you to know that :)
ReplyDeleteTears, tears, and more tears!!! As I look at this beautiful picture I can't believe that he's really gone. Such beautiful memories of being there for his birth and holding him and watching him in his peaceful sleep in all his different positions that just caused us to grab our cameras to capture the moment. And that we did...capture every precious moment we had. Someday soon I will be thankful for 67 days.
ReplyDeleteI love this picture! He looks right at home snuggled all close to you!
