So what is your first response to this news? Whats his name?<br \/>\nNoah, he said.<br \/>\nAnd I stopped. Its not often during the day you run across these moments, or maybe it is. Where you are reminded, something is just not right. And you say to yourself, &#8220;@#$(%&#8221; &#8230; or sometimes I find myself just blocking it out as hard as I can so you dont have to respond to it. Like tonight at church, watching the powerpoint during the songs, and seeing a Rainbow. Yeah, God sent a rainbow after Noah&#8217;s journey in the OT didn&#8217;t he, and it sure applies to Noah Whaley as well. I was also pondering the life of Ira, 2 months old yesterday. I love you little man.<\/p>\n<p>Its so easy to just forget it, and block it, and pretend, and move-on&#8230;. isn&#8217;t it?<br \/>\nTell me, whats different now for you? Have you found yourself coming across people or places or thoughts that remind of our precious Noah&#8217;s life?<br \/>\nOk.. I&#8217;ll start, I put a visitor sticker in the front of my bible when i went up to see Noah one evening, May07,2005. One of the few times I spent alone with my nephew, reading scripture, praying, and just talking about my job and family. So everytime I open my bible, I&#8217;m reminded of his life. (Powerful statement isn&#8217;t it)<\/p>\n<p>Tell me more&#8230;would you? How did Noah impact your life?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is a post to respond to, so remember that as you read.
