9 months old

I dreamed about Joshua last night. I dreamed he died again and then I woke up crying. I haven't done that before, that I remember.

Ironically, he would have been 9 months old today.










I miss you Joshua. You were a precious boy. I was so spoiled by you with your little wimpers and eager eating habits. You never complained when Momma had to change your bandages. You didn't blow out your nappies. You slept peacefully. And you slipped away quietly.

Love, Momma

  4. I love that picture of the 3 of you... such a beautiful family.

    hard to believe it's been 9 months, I started reading your blog less than 9 months ago but it feels like so much longer.

  6. I photographed a little guy named Joseph a few weeks ago. He reminded me of Joshua...

    Joshua was beautiful.

  7. Sweetest Susie, I'm praying comfort for you today. Shelter your heart in the Shadow of the Most High, precious mother. He is a refuge and strong tower, even for the strong and courageous.

    And He remains Faithful.

  11. We miss him too and his cute little mouth and fingers and nose. . . and those eyes! Congratulations on your pregnancy. I'm a little behind and I haven't read your posts in awhile--I've been traveling. How exciting to have another brother or sister for baby Joshua to watch over.

    Peace to you and your family,

  12. I too have gotten behind on reading your blog which I joined some time ago. I pray for you and your family and thank God for who you stand for. Congrats on your new miracle. I scrolled down and saw the first shadow profile of your pregnancy and only one thing came to mind in regards to that picture. FAITH: Hebrews 11:1 "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen". That counts for beholding Joshua's sweet face again one day and meeting your new little one. You and your family have exhibited this kind of faith in daily activities, struggles, joys and sorrows. For whatever you face you hold onto that faith. A shining example for us who are going through different types of trials and tests. Faith.....that is what I see in that picture. God bless you.

  15. Yeahh, I love seeing Joshua pictures! And to know that today would be his 9 month b'day... wow! call me crazy, but i feel like i've gotten to know your sweet family. i suppose that is part of the purpose of blogs. Hope you are feeling ok these days. Take care!

  16. It's wonderful to see pictures of Joshua again. I'm sorry you had such a sad dream. Now that you are expecting, I wouldn't be surprised if you feel Joshua near you again. As Christians, we know that our spirits never die. Right now I wonder if Joshua and your new little baby growing inside you are close in spirit. I don't know if an unborn baby's spirit can move freely from this world to the next and back again, but it wouldn't surprise me if it can.

    I'll be thinking of you and praying for you.

  18. Prayers and hugs! Missing you little man! Look how little Oceana looked! I can't believe how fast time is going by this year. Totally not the same scenario I know...but I dreamt DH died once and woke up crying, and it was horrible...so I can only imagine. I'm so sorry. More hugs, and PTL that Joshua is whole and healthy with the Lord.
