The Year No~one Wanted...

...aunt jojo loves and misses you terribly little man!

Every day without you feels like a lifetime

Dread has come with each day of this year

Mornings come way too early

Leaving you in our dreams,

Evenings can't come soon enough

Wishing another day without you gone;

Memories are all we have left of you.

The day you were born brought SO much joy into our lives,

The doctors said you wouldn't make it, but we knew without a doubt you would.

You fought and were the STRONGEST little boy our family had ever layed eyes on,

We knew you weren't going anywhere.

You fought for exactly 1 year, 1 month, and 11 days;

On November 29, 2008 we were forced to let you go

Grandpa Millard could not wait to see his little man again.

I hope Grandpa is spoiling you and giving you all the candy and chocolate in the world.

You deserve nothing but the best and it's what you should get.

Elijah Call you will ALWAYS be in our hearts, thoughts, and dreams

there is not one day that goes by we do not think about you.

We love and miss you dearly.

You will ALWAYS be our little man:)

Grammie and Paw-Paw

Just short of a year...

Dear Elijah,
It's just a month short of a year without your precious smile. Whenever I think of you (everyday) I smile just thinking about all that you're doing in Heaven. We miss you more than sunshine, Baby Beans. Life will NEVER be the same without you in it but we know that you are having so much fun and doing so good now. And that you have been joined by so many we love this year. All that wanted to just hold you cannot even catch you- I'm sure :)
Be the sweet boy I know that you are and don't stop visiting us in that 'special place'.
Grammie couldn't be prouder of your Mommy and Daddy.
They are doing better and holding on to God's promises-I know you are proud of them too.
We all love you and miss you more than words can say.
All of Grammie's love to you today and always...

Happy Birthday my little Angel....
Just when we thought we had lived through the hardest day ever~ another just rolled around. Not having you here with us to celebrate with cake on your face.
But we know that you are in your special place watching us from above ; and your gift is much better than cake.

We will ALWAYS love you Beans.

Love,

Grammie

10 months...

It's been 10 months today, Beans, but no~one has forgotten...

You are 23 months old now and still the center of our universe. Running the streets of gold and playing around . All of the things you couldn't do here. I'm sure you're playing frisbee with that Halo of yours!

I'm using this gorgeous picture of you and Uncle Jacob, to thank you for the gift you are sending our way. A new little cousin should be here in May! We are all so excited and torn just the same... We know you hand picked him or her to help heal the pain. You'll NEVER be forgotten or far from our minds. We know you decided it was just the right time. Thank you sweet ANGEL, for thinking of us and always watching out for those in your trust.

We love you forever and ever again. Don't worry your spot can NEVER be taken.

Grammie misses you more than sunshine and always will...

Nine months without you...

For almost nine months we waited to see your beautiful face...

When the moment finally arrived, you were the most beautiful boy anyone had ever laid eyes on.

For thirteen months WE thrived in YOUR light and the wonders of you.

Today has been nine months without the sweet smell of you and your loving, warm, touch our lives will never be the same because of you.

We dearly miss you Little Man.

You are our shining star and the Angel that guards us ; in our hearts and daily lives you will always be.

Missing you today and always.

Love from

Mommy, Daddy, PawPaw, Grammie,Aunt Jo~jo,

Uncle Jacob & Aunt Aubree

Are we helping?

Are the blogs here or at www.elijahslegacy.ning.com helpful?

I've been so depressed lately. I miss him so much and this is the only thing I can do to keep from having a nervous breakdown. I spend so many hours searching for more information. Every day, feeling my daughter's loss, drives me more to find and share all the possible answers.

It's so scary thinking about anyone else ever having to go through this and not having the right information.

Knowledge is key.

If we can just arm one family with the proper knowledge maybe, it would feel better.

I know he was not sent and taken for no reason.

Just can't wrap my mind around all of it right now. I dream of him and see him as he should be- but also the nightmares of what was.

QUESTION-If they can engineer a "designer baby" in a petrie dish, why can't they add a chromosome to a living child?

~ALWAYS~

Seems like forever since you were in my arms...

Yet I feel your presence all around me

In each breath I take

Everywhere I look- there you are

But you're not

Eight months since you've taken flight with your precious wings

Fly high my Angel

Fly close by my Angel

Love and miss you ALWAYS

~DON'T FORGET~

Seven long and weary months

Dear Elijah,

Try hard as I may;

I cannot forget

You've been gone seven months today...

You are Grammies Sunshine, Beans

And Paw-Paw's Little man;

Mommy and Daddy's hearts desire

We know you are keeping watch over us

And putting in a good word

Soon we'll be re-united and the pain will be

Replaced with joy.

Everyone misses you today and ALWAYS.

Love,

Grammie

Six months today :(

Has it been a half a year?

Six months have crept past us in the fog of missing you.

You will always be our sunshine.

We miss you everyday.

Love and misses xoxoxoxo
