I also want to make sure that every mother who shares my pain, who has walked this unwilling journey, knows she isn’t alone. I want her to know that her baby was alive! That her baby was a person who would have grown to be whatever he or she wanted to be if life were perfect.
If life were fair.
It isn’t. Life is often not fair, but I can promise that whatever bad things happen, whatever pain I feel, God comforts me and He has promised to make everything good in His time. He didn’t want my son to die. I can never believe that to be true, but He will carry me whenever I cannot walk this journey with my own strength.
And I can never walk this journey with my own strength, so I have faith that He will sustain me.
Mamas, whatever you believe about God or faith or life ever after, know that you are not alone on this path you didn’t choose. You are surrounded by love. Prayers for peace and comfort are always being lifted just for you.
When the time comes for your road on this earth to end, I believe you will find your child again.
You will know him by the shape of his soul and by the beat of his heart.
❤️Andrew was born at home on Friday November 21, 2008 at 9am. He was 5 1/8 inches long and weighed 1.1 ounces. He will be missed so very much by us all. We love you, Andrew.❤️
