Over the past couple days, and within the next week, three other families will recognize their two-year-old girls’ birthdays. But of necessity, they’re celebrations will be a bit different than ours. See, all three of these girls have finished their mortal lives.

And there are so many more. There were over 100 balloons released on
Aaron’s birthday. Many, the vast
majority, had names written on them of angel babies to whom they were
dedicated. Others went without names,
but I know God knows them. I am so
grateful for all those who took time out of their lives to come celebrate with us. I am also grateful for knowing my sweet
friends and the chance to remember their babies and pray for them.
Each life that touches ours for good
Reflects thine
own great mercy, Lord;
Thou sendest blessings
from above
Thru words and deeds
of those who love.
What greater
gift dost thou bestow,
What greater
goodness can we know
Than Christlike
friends, whose gentle ways
Strengthen our
faith, enrich our days.
When such a
friend from us departs,
We hold forever
in our hearts
A sweet and
hallowed memory,
Bringing us
nearer, Lord, to thee.
For worthy
friends whose lives proclaim
Devotion to the
Savior’s name,
Who bless our
days with peace and love,
We praise thy
goodness, Lord, above.
Thank you for remembering Lilly! I love the angel pic you posted. And the scripture ... God bless you all - I continue to pray for Aaron and cheer him on.
