Tomorrow it will be one year.
One year since I have seen his little face smiling up at me.
One year since his little voice asked for "Dada."
One year since I held him.
One year since I told him I loved him.
One year since he was so sick.
Once year since he spent so much time in the hospital.
One year since I hoped.
One year since I sat by his bed and prayed with groaning that could not be expressed for his life.
One year since I saw people around the world praying all through the night for my baby.
One year since I felt God's presence in the hospital room.
One year since those who loved Avery gathered by his side and sang "Jesus loves me."
One year since we let go.
Tomorrow is Avery's first birthday in Heaven.
I love you, my sweet boy.
Avery had so much personality. This is one of our favorite pictures of him. It captures his essence beautifully.
Praying for the God of all comfort to draw near to you and John.
ReplyDeleteI love you all so much. I grieve with you and rejoice for Avery.
