From Noah’s Nana: As the holidays approach I find myself drawn to Noah and the few short days we had with him. It has been 7 months and I try to determine how I should be feeling now. So I am sharing just a few of my thoughts. First of all, it still hurts. It [...]

I’m taking the liberty as uncle Steve, to make a post today in tribute of Noah’s 6month Heavenly Homecoming. After watching Ira’s video the other night, I was thinking about how awesome to see the friends and family stand and cheer. And I can only imagine… at least I try, to see that celebration in [...]

I am not a “reader.” In fact, I think I made it to my college years with only a handful of books read. Within the past 3 months, I have read 5 books and working on my sixth. Most of them deal with grief and most of them are written by mothers. I am amazed [...]

Why do you see guys take practice golf swings when they get bored? I know, I know it’s a “mental” game, but aren’t they all? I never see guys practicing pickoff moves or their five-step drop or boxing out for a rebound. I have never seen a dude come into a store and knock down [...]
Lord, I wanted to hold my little boy on my lap and tell him about You. Since I can’t do that, will You hold him on Your lap and tell him about me? ~Anonymous Noah would have been 2 months old yesterday. Amazing the time has gone that fast, and somehow it seems like a [...]

This is a post to respond to, so remember that as you read. Yesterday, I was talking to a good friend from college about his news of a son to be born in late October. So what is your first response to this news? Whats his name? Noah, he said. And I stopped. Its not [...]
