I have two special needs sons myself but not to the degree of his. He was such a fighter! Even tho I read it tonight over a year after he has been with our precious Lord I kept forgetting where he was and found myself hoping he would pull thru and remind myself he had already passed on.

I read your posts with great interest and sadness as my husband and I also lost a child last year. Our daughter had Transposition of the Great Arteries and passed away after a couple of surgeries attempting to save her life. it was good to read your story and see how you've coped with "miletones" like birthdays and the anniversary of death. Those are coming up for us, and it's scary. Good luck to you as you continue to heal, and thanks for sharing through your writing.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10254259871655357828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36874548.post-22575329585106600182008-10-01T17:12:00.000-04:002008-10-01T17:12:00.000-04:00Hi Patience and Jordan,I was thinking of you today...Hi Patience and Jordan,<BR/>I was thinking of you today, so I thought I'd just drop you a line to say hello.<BR/>Hope you're both doing ok - I still remember you both every day.<BR/>Sending love and an autumn hug from across the pond XXXPete, Ali, Charlie and Rosiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11106369302348116832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36874548.post-90240033141772619942008-09-26T22:44:00.000-04:002008-09-26T22:44:00.000-04:00Patience,I just found your blog through your face ...Patience,<BR/>I just found your blog through your face book account.

Your story and your faithfulness to the Lord is inspiring. My husband and I gave birth just days after this post to our first boy son Carter. Carter was born at 22 weeks and was only able to live for 1 hour and 21 minutes before going home to Jesus. I don't think we have been through anything in our lives this tough. The one thing I do know and from your blog that you express so well, God is still in control. I am so glad!

You belong to her heart for different reasons than you belong to mine; I admire you endlessly for the woman of God that you are and I can't imagine a better role model. So, thank you, for the life you chose to live, and the ways you chose to obey God, because they make me a better person and will shape my vision of what a woman of God should be.

But as humans, we still look down at times to see the ashes. We even scoop them up and hug them up to us, because the ashes are still part of the original and beautiful for that reason as well as for what God makes from them. The depth of your pain only reflects the depth of the love you have for Isaac. I love you and think of you so very often. <BR/>Thank you for sharing with us!<BR/>PattyPatty Honeycutthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04568690351029630076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36874548.post-81488905883852177752008-08-08T20:48:00.000-04:002008-08-08T20:48:00.000-04:00Patience and Jordan- Just wanted to leave a not...Patience and Jordan-<BR/> Just wanted to leave a note saying that I am thinking of you both and Isaac.
