Happy 6th Birthday in heaven

My little boy, Lucas David, would have been 6 years old today.  He was born still at 2:01am on Saturday, January 24, 2004. He had pudgy little cheeks meant for squeezing. wispy black hair.  And he was a linebacker already at 8 pounds 13 ounces and 21 inches long.

God, for reasons unknown to me, took him from my womb where he grew and leapt and slept straight to heaven. This image is the one I hold of my peapod.  And despite this journey of grief that I am currently on, I WILL hold him in my arms one day. I know that!  It is a hope that I cling to...

What a precious precious baby boy. Big baby boy too huh? Wow.

Yes, you're right, we don't always know why God does what he does, but we can always know that he loves us and would never do anything to harm us. I love this verse, "I know O Lord that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me." I got the title for my book from that verse. So much value in knowing that.

I'm so sorry for you Chris.
Tenderly,
Lynnette
