Well we made it back without any troubles, we now have over 188,888 miles on our van! And still running strong, great MPG.
On the drive back Sharon and I talked a lot about Noah and the possibility that we may get blessed with another baby. We are pretty excited at the thought, but it is still hard as we do not want to have it seem like we are just going to replace Noah like you do a car or matress. We will always love him, he will be forever in our minds and hearts, we know this. While thinking about him, we remembered his service and all the wonderful people that showed up on such very short notice, and they all gave us such great support in a very hard time. I also realized I never posted the poem we read at his service (there were others that read some also but I do have them in writing to post). This was sent to me by my ex-wife’s Aunt Nancy, whom I will always think of as my aunt as well :) We just thought it was so appropriate and really expressed what we feel happened perfectly.
God looked around his garden
and found an empty space
He then looked down upon the earth
and saw your little face
He put his arms around you
and lifted you to rest
God’s garden must be beautiful
He only takes the best
It broke our hearts to lose you
but you did not go alone
for part of us went with you
the day God called you home.
