Things happen for reasons, right?

Okay - so we got a new house (a cute little house that requires some Renovations) AND we got a fast closing of June 2 (so Noah will have a few weeks at his new school to meet some friends and familiarize himself with his new surrounds - HIP, HIP, HOORAY!!!

When I contacted the moving company last night, I advised we'd be moving on June 2 - but he asked to do it on June 3 (in the event something delays the closing so his staff wouldn't be sitting around on June 2 waiting to move stuff in). Makes sense, right?

But it was just this morning that it all HIT me.....June 3 is Joshua's birthday. Okay, so then I asked myself is this coincidence or the work of God & baby Josh's work? TELL ME, is this irony or a little present to our family? I think, feel and believe that God has a wonderful way of getting the message across AND I think, feel and believe that my dear Joshua has a wonderful way of ALWAYS letting me know he is right here with me despite being in Heaven.

I thank God EVERY day for the 17 days we had with our baby boy and the strength he gave me as well as the strength God continues to give me. I'm just so happy I could cry!!

I realize that our lives are going to get pretty busy over the next several weeks and I may not get the chance to properly honour our little boy on the day of your birth (the way we usually do). Consider this post, our honour to you, baby boy! We remember the 17 short days you lived as though it was just yesterday. We miss you every day and can't believe it's been 5 years since you were born. One day we will be together again but for now, thank you for watching over us and letting us know you are there. Have fun in Heaven my sweet baby - Mommy will never stop loving you!
