It's been six years since we said good-bye to you. How quickly that time has passed.
I don't think of you everyday. But, when I do, I have a little tug at my heart and wonder. I wonder, what you would look like if you were here? You would be 5 1/2 years old. Maybe you would be reading, maybe you'd love to sing. No doubt you'd be full of energy and enjoy playing with your sister.
Of course, if you were here, your brother wouldn't be. Maybe your sisters wouldn't be either.
I know, now, that God works things together for good. It hurt to have to say good-bye to you before we ever said hello, but I know that was His perfect plan.
Someday I will say hello to you, and I look forward to that day. Until then, my love, keep worshiping our Lord. To forever live at the feet of Jesus is the best place to be.
It's been six years since Heaven said hello to you. Happy Birthday sweet Noah True.
I am a mother of 4. 2 girls, one boy, and one angel. I was 10 weeks and 3 days pregnant when my little one went to Heaven, and I was left with broken heart.
When a mommy finds out that she is pregnant, the dreams start right then and there. The planning, the hoping, the naming. We will teach him to play baseball. We will sign her up for ballet. Will she look like her sister? Will he love life like his grandpa? We dream and imagine what this little bean, no bigger then a raisin will become.
Some tell others, but we kept our little secret to ourselves. It is such a special gift and exciting time, and we wanted to savour it together for but a few short months. Our love had grown again, our Lord had blessed us once more.
And then...as if it truely was a dream, it was over. The baby was gone. No ballet, no baseball, no baby... What do you do with those dreams? They were for a real person, not a made up figment of your imagination. But, yet, they are not for a living person. No one else will look back and remember your little one. There will be no memorial service, no jokes about the fun times, no thoughts of the wonderful things they had done. They never existed. No birth certificate, no death certificate. No one to shed a tear for them. No one but, their mommy and daddy.
There are millions of mommies and daddies around the world, some you dont even know are parents, who are remembering their little ones in their hearts today. A day set aside to let grieving mommies and daddies know that they are not alone, and to remember their babies who left life far to soon. If you are missing your little one or ones tonight, please know you are not alone. May the God of comfort wrap His arms around you and fill you with His unimaginable peace.
Tonight I am 10 weeks 2 days pregnant. I went to my appointment today and we were able to hear the heartbeat through the doppler!!! I was so thrilled. The doctor was impressed that we were able to hear it, saying that he generally isnt able to get it on the doppler this early.
2 pregnancies ago, this was the final day that I was pregnant with Noah. 10 weeks and 2 days. I had been spotting for nearly 2 weeks at that point. I had my last ultrasound that day. It wasnt the kind of u/s that one wants to have. There was no joking, no pictures, no talking at all. The tech turned the screen towards her and said nothing. She said nothing, because there was nothing to say.
I got a phone call that afternoon from the nurse. Bedrest and a follow up u/s that Friday to see if the baby had developed a heartbeat. I knew then it was over. I had 2 quick ultrasounds in the ER-one even the day before-and both doctors swore they could see a hb, but neither would show me the screen.
I will always remember that night. I've never begged the Lord before. I've never layed my heart at His feet quite like that before. Asking Him to cause a miracle and let your baby live is a prayer that I never imagined having to do. Coming to a point where I could place my child's life in His hands and truly trust that He holds the future and that His plan for my life and my baby's was perfect brought me to a new understanding of faith.
We 'lost' Noah on December 13, 2006 at 10weeks and 3days. Lost really isnt the word. I know exactly where he is. He is in Heaven, with my Lord. He is perfect and healthy and gets to spend eternity with God. My prayer for my children has always been that they would be full of the knowledge of the Lord and have a strong and deep faith in Him. I know my prayer was answered for Noah.
Noah means 'Rest, Comfort, Peaceful' and True reminds me that God's word is True and He give rest and comfort to the weary. Which is exactly what He did for me as He graciously mended my heart from the worst pain I had ever known. I can honestly say that, though I would never have wished my pain on my worst enemy, the closeness I felt to the Lord afterwards is an opportunity I wouldnt trade. He carried me when I couldnt stand and held me closer then He ever had before.
Thank you, Lord, for the short time I had with Noah. Thank you for allowing me to love him. Thank you for the hope I have in knowing that I will be able to stand in your embrace for all of eternity, and to know that Noah will be there too.
Arise And Be Comforted By Christy and Nathan Knockles (Watermark)
Arise and be comforted For the Lord, He is good to the weary And even the young heart can tire and fall But He knows them all For the Lord, He will renew their strength And they will soar on wings as eagles And they will run and never grow weary They will walk and not grow faint For the Lord, He is good Lift your eyes to the heavens For the creator is living in you Come surrender as you are
And know that you'll never stray too far Let His power within you heal your heart Lift your eyes to spacious skies Let Him chart your way to flight Spread your wings and fly For the Lord, He is good

Beauty from Pain Superchick
The lights go out all around me One last candle to keep out the night And then the darkness surrounds me I know i'm alive but i feel like i've died And all that's left is to accept that it's over My dreams ran like sand through the fists that i made I try to keep warm but i just grow colder I feel like i'm slipping away
After all this has passed, i still will remain After i've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain Though it won't be today, Someday i'll hope again And there'll be beauty from pain You will bring beauty from my pain
My whole world is the pain inside me The best i can do is just get through the day When life before is only a memory I'll wonder why God lets me walk through this place And though i can't understand why this happened I know that i will when i look back someday And see how you've brought beauty from ashes And made me as gold purified through these flames
After all this has passed, i still will remain After i've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain Though it won't be today, Someday i'll hope again And there'll be beauty from pain You will bring beauty from my pain
Here i am, at the end of me Tryin to hold to what i can't see I forgot how to hope This night's been so long I cling to Your promise There will be a dawn
After all this has passed, i still will remain After i've cried my last, there'll be beauty from pain Though it won't be today, Someday i'll hope again And there'll be beauty from pain You will bring beauty from my pain
I don't think of you everyday. But, when I do, I have a little tug at my heart and wonder. I wonder, what you would look like if you were here? You would be 5 1/2 years old. Maybe you would be reading, maybe you'd love to sing. No doubt you'd be full of energy and enjoy playing with your sister.
