Unsure about it . . .

I have not posted in 2 weeks and I really miss it but I have been very unsure lately.  In 4 days, my sweet Aiden should have been 4 months old and instead in 6 days, it has been 3 months since he went to Heaven.  My mind whirls around this and I'm at a complete loss, I know God is holding him in his arms but I should be holding him in mine.  I know I should not dwell on the should or could have beens but I can't help it.  I look at my older two boys and think what we are all missing by not having Aiden in our lives. 

And I'm having a hard time answering the question "How many children do you have?"  I have 3 boys, 2 I get to hold everyday and 1 I held for a very short time - too short. 

I know God has a plan even if I don't know it yet but it will be revealed in time.  For now I have to trust in Him and know that His Love surrounds me everyday. 

March is Trisomy Awareness Month, please say a prayer for all those who have babies in their arms or God's arms with this disorder. 


Restore us, O God Almighty; make Your face shine upon us...

Psalm 80:7

Praying for you Ashley! It's been 5 years since my son passed away and I still struggle with that same question, but he is and will always be a part of our family!
