I'm not sure why I waited til today to read it but I'm glad I did. Today is the anniversary date of my good friend Melanie's passing of her baby boy. My heart is already tender and this post made me feel what she is probably feeling today. That makes me feel good - hoping that I am taking some of her heartache from her today. (if that even makes sense) Your description of that day is nothing short of amazing. I feel like I was there with you. My eyes sting from the tears falling onto my keyboard. I cannot imagine what your heart felt like on that day. I'm sure it felt absolutely broken. My prayers are with you each day as you await the birth of your 2nd son. You are truly an amazing woman of God whom I look up to. When I see a post or comment from you on FB I immediately think to myself, "wow, I wish I had the faith she did." I know that the grace and peace that only the Lord can give is what keeps you going. <br />Hope you and Todd and Silas have a good day.<br />Big hugs,<br />AmandaAmanda Hoythttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895652232932076943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369590888727907975.post-72254408238950582812012-01-31T13:46:03.116-06:002012-01-31T13:46:03.116-06:00*tears* such a beautiful and heartbreaking journey...*tears* such a beautiful and heartbreaking journey to meet your son.

So many times the tears flowed out of me - as I remembered the very same things with my little man, who actually was also born feet first, and was only a little bit bigger than Gideon. Esp I bawled as you said when you watched him and he didn't move. Oh gosh, how I remember that. How hard it was.<br />thank you so much for sharing every moment with Gideon, what a blessing it was to hear about him and your time together.<br />Love to you and Todd.<br />Nat xxNathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09916842172714172750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369590888727907975.post-87751958011528218692012-01-25T10:19:17.937-06:002012-01-25T10:19:17.937-06:00This is such a beautiful post.

I never got to see the baby developed, for I was a little over a month into the pregnancy, but what I do know is I will see him or her again. This is what I choose to believe. So we all look forward to the future but we must live for today. Blessings and peace to you and Todd.Leslienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8369590888727907975.post-13953967863533362032012-01-22T23:39:55.165-06:002012-01-22T23:39:55.165-06:00Just beautiful.
