I should have a 2nd grader!
So, if Jeremiah had lived he should be starting 2ND grade this year. Kind of weird to think I could have an almost 7 year old. In 1 month we will be celebrating his 7Th birthday/Heaven day. I wonder if I will think this way my entire life? Will I always wonder what could have been? I often find myself watching Nathaniel and wonder if Jeremiah would have been the same way. Would he look like his brother? I hate not ever knowing. I hate that I have to wait an entire lifetime to see him, to possibly hear him, to touch him again. No one should ever have to wait a lifetime to hold their baby again. I hate that Jeremy and I have been robbed of so much with Jeremiahs passing. We were so young, so naive to life's harshness. I am thankful for the few precious hours I got to hold my baby. I will remember his smell for as long as I live, I will remember the way he looked for forever, I just wish it could have been longer. I wish he could have stayed inside a few more weeks, gotten a little bit stronger and survived. I wish he could have been around to play with his little brother and sister. So many wishes that will never come true. So many tears that have fallen silently for my little boy. So many milestones we have missed out on with him. So much life left to live without him. Life is tough to survive, I wonder how I have managed so far?

I have been very blessed to not have had to deal with this, but I have two sisters who have. I think that you can only hold onto cherish the moments you had with him. And that you will always be wondering what if, I am sorry for your sadness.
ReplyDeleteHang in there.
Jeremiah lived all the days that were written for him in the Book of Life. He only felt love, warmth and peace inside his beautiful Mommy.
ReplyDeleteYou have many more days ahead of you. Your choices are:
1) live in the past and 'what ifs'
2) Know that Jeremiah has seen you survive and grow stronger, and prays everyday that you will live your life to the fullest until you meet again.
You will have all eternity to reconnect with your special boy, but this life won't last forever...but it can be beautiful.
I pray your heart continues to heal.
Hugs,
Sarah
