My sweet boy celebrated his birthday in Heaven today. September 18th is always a precious day. It is a day I celebrate his birth and try to spread his joy. Best way I know to do that today because I just can't find words tonight... is to share some pictures. I have millions more... just can't look at too many at once... makes him so tangible.
He was joy... He is joy. Remember him with me....
My little Easter Bunny!
Loved that Elmo party for his brother!
He loved his Johnny Jumper!
Look at thos eyes! He was teething here! :)
Seth always said, "I gonna kiss you Etttan"
And Kiss he did!
Not always to the joy of Tuffy! HAHA!
Wearing his little helmet to protect the bleeding head. Still so cute!
His last donkey ride on his best friend, Hotie.
Hotie brought him joy when he couldn't get down and play anymore.
I miss them both!
His last Halloween. He was our little Chief!
His tribe of indians. We loved this because it covered
his bandages, brace, and helmet. He felt so big! :)
We knew time was running out.
We raced to the mountains for one last trip.
It was only a few days until he started crashing every 7-10 hours.
We ate up our time with our sweet Eathan!
Hope was his dog. She never left him. Ever.
Eathan always did the thumbs up and said "I tuff"
This was 12 hours before we lost him. The nurses
surprised us and made handprints and a crystal hand mold.
Little did any of us know that was God's gift in timing. as he
would slip into the arms of Jesus later that day...
Eathan... your memory is alive and well... and your legacy continues
to change the lives of MANY!
Love you!
and I know from heaven I can hear you whisper back,
"I lu you too, Mama!"
"I lu you too, Mama!"
Hugs, my friend. Just lots of hugs for you in honor of your darling boy.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Kathy. I hate that we are in this "club" together, but since we are, in means a lot to have someone that understands... I hug you right back. Just is never, ever the same again without them.... Isn't it cool that they know each other now? And one of these days, whether this side of heaven or not, I am going to hug your neck for real... and we will see them again! I CAN'T WAIT!!!
ReplyDeleteAh I never met Eathan, but this post still made my cry. I'm glad you have so many sweet memories with him!
