For most, this time of year is so refreshing.
For me, this time of year is very difficult. Very, very difficult.
My heart is heavy. I have a huge knot in my throat and tears in my eyes.
October 8 is Aaden’s birthday. He would be 5 years old. What a crazy, crazy thought. I cannot even imagine him at 5. He will forever remain a tiny perfect little baby with piercing, wise eyes and the most adorable little nose and chubby cheeks.
So bear with me as I fumble along the next few weeks, celebrating his life and mourning his death… and rejoicing that I have hope in a Savior who brought life with His death, Who wipes away every tear and Who brings beauty from ashes.
Praying for you and your family. I’m so grateful for your heart and pray God gives you a sense of peace and joy in mourning.
Praying for you, Ashlee. When I first started following you, I didn’t know Aaden’s story. I combed through your blog and website and somehow wound up on your husband’s blog and read through your heartbreak there. As someone who deeply struggled/struggles with the fear of losing a child, I cannot fathom your pain. You are faith in our Savior is captivating and I will forever be touched by his (& your) story. Thank you for sharing your heart with us.
WE lost a little girl Carol Ann in 1959. It was heart breaking.She was still born.may God give you peace.
Saying a prayer for you and your sweet family and sending you a big, virtual hug. xx
Prayers for a Mama and Family that inspires me beyond belief. Ashlee the mama you are to those babies is so motivating and so selfless. Your children truly are your first, second,third, and forth priority in your lives. Aaden Sage is in my prayers!
Thinking of you sweet friend! Prayers for peace this month (and every one after that!).
My heart goes out to you and your family! I will be praying for you all. Your faith through everything especially Aaden’s life is truly inspiring to me.
praying for you today- that you may feel His peace, and your children will learn to seek Him and have peace with this over the years as well when processing their brother. five years is a long time, but it struck me five years is a long time in HIS presence as well.
