So it’s the final day. We have made it very well through the last week. I have been playing memories, situations, words in my head all week that happened a year ago. I remember specific events with specific people. I don’t find as much saddness because we lost Noah, I just remember being there. Truth is because we lost Noah a year ago, and I think we have worked hard in the last year to deal with that. So during this time, it is the memories that are flooding unconsciously into my mind. Sometimes I am overwhelmed by them, but for the most part we were able to enjoy normal, everyday life through this week of remembrance.
I want to say thank you for remembering Noah. We will never forget, and it is so nice to hear that you will not either. We received flowers, cards, emails, comments that have really touched us. They were the words of God comforting us on the hard days, they were God’s hands hugging us through a sweet card, most of all they were reminders that Noah touched your life too.
Your blog has touched my life and my family as I have read it aloud. My thought are with you guys and prayers are going up. I love the last sentence of your blog, in only a way that God can do.

My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family on this day. Blessings to you.
I came to your site because of Ira Hays and Jack Marcelain. We pray for them daily and will keep your family in our prayers too. We also have a son go home before we were ready. We have another son who was diagnosed with a syndrome, while we were pregnant, and spent a long first two years watching him struggle to grow stronger. We are thankful for how for he has come. Our hearts reach out to you. God is the great healer as you already have experienced. Please know you are not alone.
Thank you for the work of getting everyone “Ira bracelets”.
Love in Christ,

I lost a child a little over a year ago, and have been working on a scrapbook for him. Your photos have inspired me to continue and finish what I have begun.
You and your family are in my prayers though we do not know each other. God is our strength and our hope.
Blessings…
