5 months today...
Wishing it wasn't so...
On September 21/05 we were blessed with a beautiful son. Born with a chromosome 12q deletion (q15q21.2), the challenges were many...cleft lip/palate, complex feeding issues, developmental delays, failure to thrive, multiple infections, blood clots, asthma, sleep apnea, GI and pulmonary bleeds, TPN dependency and kidney issues. Noah embraced life and taught us how to love. On July 29/09, Noah's journey ended, leaving us on a new journey...this journey on the pathway of grief...
About Me
- Nichole
- I am mom to 3 beautiful children. I also work casual as a nurse. Our life is a crazy one, and nothing like we ever expected it would be. Yet, this journey has changed me and the way I view others. And it has helped us slow down and enjoy the most precious things in life. I wouldn't trade those lessons for anything.

I've followed your blog since I first met you in a yahoo group called Miracle Angels. Being in my own world of sorrowed grieving & illness has put me behind in checking in on you. My heart is broken to hear of Noah's passing. He was such a fighter, and I rooted for him stealthily! My Anne had trisomy 18 and we only got to have her for 61derful days before she moved Home. She's with Jesus & my other daughter Abigail who was stillborn at term the year prior to Anne. It has been a surreal sojourn of anguished pain & overwhelming joy (and everything in between). Five months is still so very fresh & the punch has still robbed you of your breath & left you doubled over. It may be so very hard for a while yet to come. Such love leaves a remarkable wound on the heart; a wound that we were not designed to know with such depth of intimacy. Please know that He carries our pain with us, and I carry it too; you are not alone though it may seem that way; and oh so very dark sometimes. I send you all my heart's hugs; I'm here at blogger & also at fb if you'd like to hook up.

Reaching towards heaven to give hugs to my Bean...missing you so very much.
I attended a funeral today, and it brought back so many memories of Noah. So thankful we have so many wonderful memories of our precious boy. 5 months, and yet it seems like yesterday. Take courage, not only is Jesus with Noah, He is also holding you. Love mom
Every reminder is sad I'm sure. I was just thinking how he was never supposed to live. What a gift that you had him for almost 4 years!! 5 months in Heaven sweet Noah...it has probably gone much faster for you than for those missing you. XO
The time has passed so quickly, yet, I know your pain is still so very real. Praying for all of you this New Year's Eve...
Praying for all of you! May God continue to keep you.
