6th Birthday!
Today is Eli and Eddie's 6th Birthday. I have been thinking about them a lot this week, and I am so grateful for the wonderful experience they gave me. We talk about them all of the time and look at their cute footprints. Sam gets very emotional when we talk about them he misses them so much. Even though they didn't live one day on earth, they have brought us so much joy, sadness, and hope. We have two sweet angels waiting for us to return to them. I feel with all my heart that we will be able to raise them one day and really get to know them, and I know they chose to sacrifice their time on earth to do their part in heaven. I feel proud to be a parent of such sweet, courageous spirits.

That was the sweetest message! I bet those little guys can't wait for the day that they get to be held in your arms! You'll be in my thoughts today.
I didn't realize that it was today! You've always been so inspirational in how you have dealt with their life and death with hope. I echo your feelings of the happiness that I feel at being able to someday meet them. We love you guys and ALL your little boys!
What a beautiful post. I agree with TBone Family, you have been such an inspiration to me about dealing with life and death and your amazing attitude and perceptions. I know those two are watching out for your family and waiting for the day they will be held in your arms again. What a happy day that will be. =)
It must be a great day today! It is a special day for our family as well! My borther Chet would have been 31 years old today! It must be the day of angels! I don't exactly know what happened to your cute little boys but I agree with you that you Will get to raise them! We have always felt Chet's spirit in our lives and so I am sure you can feel your little guys in your lives! I am thinking about you today and will for the rest of my life! Take Care of yourself! I am glad you are my friend!
