Watched your video this morning, sweet boy. I am missing what it would have been like to know you. To hold you. To comfort, play and experience life with you. You have left a hole in my heart.

Hello Brother
Posted in Noah on Jun 8th, 2009
There is something about the sky in the Houston area. I don’t know what it is, but it immediately connects me to Noah. Maybe the clouds form a certain way here that they don’t in Nashville. Maybe its that I can see the horizon. Maybe it is just that my mind connects Noah to this [...]
Celebrating Four

You have turned my mourning into dancing.
You have turned my sorrow into joy.
In the Quiet
Posted in Noah on Jul 14th, 2008
It is quiet in the house today. We took a last minute visit to Houston this weekend and left the girls there. My parents will meet us in Dallas on Thursday for my grandfather’s 90th birthday. I usually find myself on the computer during quiet moments. This morning was no different. I began by doing [...]

The Heavenly Daily News
from Aunt April
It was an exciting day here in heaven last week. The
sun was shining, as always. The birds were singing,
always do. And the excitement in the air was building.
It was the birthday of one of heaven’s precious
children. Noah Whaley was turning 3. It was the
birthday of many others, that’s true, but [...]
Today my son would be celebrating 3 years old. I cannot believe it has been 3 years. 3 years is a long time to hold on to only memories. It has been a long time since I saw his face. A long time since I held him close. A long time since I [...]
Was it real?
Posted in Noah on Aug 22nd, 2007
Tonight, as I surf from one blog to another and click on someone’s blog that someone else knows, I find this little boy, Bennett (or go here). I do not know all the details about him, but I saw his picture and that was enough to pull me in. A picture that I know all [...]
NICU Waiting Room
Posted in Noah on Jul 23rd, 2007
This has been 2+ years in the making. After Noah died, April, my sister-in-law, had this idea to create a better space for those who spend so much time in the TCH waiting room. In Noah’s memory, she collected $7,855 to put toward a renovation project for the waiting room. Thanks to April’s perseverance, this [...]
Written by Noah’s Nana
One of my favorite songs that I found during the last 2 years is one by Steven Curtis Chapman called “With Hope.” The words expressed so well the feelings that began to fill my heart:
We can cry with hope, we can say good-bye with hope,
For our good-bye is not [...]
Reflections
Posted in Noah on May 3rd, 2007
I love that Alyssa can tell complete strangers that today is her brother’s birthday. Like the lady at Garden Ridge as we were buying new flowers for the cemetery. I love that she is so open about it and there is nothing strange about her brother living in heaven. I love that she completely believes [...]
