Today is our due date. We made it through, thanks to the snow and family surrounding us. To tell the truth, it's these past few weeks that have been more difficult than expected. Maybe because he should be here already and the aching feeling in our empty arms reminded us of that. We knew William would never really be born on his due date. As his big heart struggled to keep up the demands, we knew he'd be delivered early. We remember praying each day to make it to tomorrow - we were so proud he made it to 31 weeks 5 days. Our little trooper. Our little star.
Just when we need some strength, our little guy sends it to us in his own special ways. Tiny little starflakes fell from the sky again but this time they landed on me. Before they could melt, Tommy snapped a few photos. I love how snowflakes are becoming a symbol of William. As unique and beautiful as William was, so is a snowflake. Exquisitely breathtaking and one of a kind.

William's star flakes are amazing! I love how you wrote William is your winter baby and he's sending you signs of his love from heaven. What a gift of joy. He's wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI pray to William often and ask him to pray for his mommy and daddy. We miss him with you. We are blessed to have a personal saint in heaven praying for us. I think he likes to hear from us.
We are looking forward to being together again on William's day in March. Love to all in MA.

They are amazing. We've never seen snowflakes like these until this winter. It's pretty incredible. Thanks, Love to all in DC!
DeleteLizzie,
ReplyDeleteWilliam's starflakes are so beautiful, so perfect! Amazing that you were able to capture them before the starflake messages disappeared. It is good to know little William is thinking about you as much as you are thinking about him.
I continue to think of you, Tom, and William everyday. William will never be forgotten.
Love,
Christine
They are beautiful, I have seen them fall again since this post. Thanks, Christine. Love to all!
