I know I dont have to tell you how much it hurts to miss your child. To have so many hopes and dreams gone, left with a broken heart and not all the pieces to fit back together. <br /><br />You are a wonderful encouragement, to know that your child is still remembered after a decade of walking the streets of gold and the GOOD and comfort that has been given to you. I too, find comfort in that I dont worry about Emma, she is safe in the arms of Jesus and will never feel any suffering or pain. <br /><br />Thanks dear friend, for writing about your son, so that I (& many others im sure!) can read along with someone who has walked this heartbreaking road.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03544848163105910672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-92707266833891233.post-25384770292895510182009-12-17T17:44:48.935-07:002009-12-17T17:44:48.935-07:00Thank you for reading my story and pointing me to ...Thank you for reading my story and pointing me to yours.

Ten years probably seems like forever and then again no time at all. <br /><br />It sounds like you've had a lot to process this past week or so ... glad you were able to go to WoF. What good timing for a fresh infusion of God's encouragement and love. I went to WoF last month. <br /><br />God Bless You!!Melindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01156194155140470909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-92707266833891233.post-20142832008124546842009-10-02T11:39:27.884-06:002009-10-02T11:39:27.884-06:00:-)

I am so thankful I got to hold him and experience the journey with you--God is Good. I welcome the day we can see him again and tell him how loved he is. I know telling the story will be difficult for you....but it is a story that God gave you to tell....and He is faithful to work like He did while Aidan was alive...hearts will be changed even now.

I still remember how kind you were to share the memory book you had made of his life, reading every single word, absorbing as best I could the wonderful photos, nd being so blessed to get to know him through your loving record of his life. May you be comforted as you "remember the deeds of the Lord" in Aiden's life and yours. <br />Our love to you and Dave,<br />Esther for Bob too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-92707266833891233.post-45509370453093648892009-09-30T18:56:43.181-06:002009-09-30T18:56:43.181-06:00Well, you know how much Aidan's life and how y...Well, you know how much Aidan's life and how you and Dave lived during that time affected my growth, so let me just simply say, I love you.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459760495338493222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-92707266833891233.post-19509629305618713272009-09-30T17:55:54.897-06:002009-09-30T17:55:54.897-06:00Wow.

Dawn, you know I don't cry easily, but every time I remember our little guy, the tears begin (like right now). It reminds me that just as a potter needs water to soften the clay he is working on, our Potter used the many tears shed for Aidan (and you and Dave) to soften the clay of our hearts enabling Him to shape us into the vessels He purposed us to be. Only when we get to heaven, and are able to hold him once again, will we know the TOTAL reason why God created that little guy to live here on earth for such a short time. (And He continues that work in us as we face life here without Sadie too.) We have been broken but our Redeemer has done an amazing work of healing and bringing big "G" good from their short lives. Aidan we will always miss you...until we meet again, your Grandma counts it an immense privilege and blessing to have been able to have known you and hold you close to my heart while you were here! Words cannot adequately communicate all the emotion I feel as I remember you, but when I look at your picture on my mantle, I am smiling!chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17713259917390985611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-92707266833891233.post-57106960075661546622009-09-30T09:36:43.369-06:002009-09-30T09:36:43.369-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17713259917390985611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-92707266833891233.post-58510009843218579292009-09-30T08:34:38.735-06:002009-09-30T08:34:38.735-06:00oh dawn. we miss him too! thanks for sharing aid...oh dawn. we miss him too! thanks for sharing aidan's story on here...lives will be touched yet again and again and again each time it is read. i love you and i love aidan. remebering him in a special way today.kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383500493110949067noreply@blogger.com
