Do you know that we chose the name Isaac Christian after we found out that all was wrong with our little one. We originally liked other names, although Isaac was on the list of final three. It means "He who laughs" in Hebrew. We chose it because it's a biblical name and it brings positive thoughts to our minds when we think of it. We wanted something with meaning. It's also the name of a saint. Christian means "with Christ", which I believe he is. Ironically enough, it's also the name of our high risk doctor.
We are planting a tree tomorrow and having a memorial service with just my husband and I. I'm sort of looking forward to it, a chance to close one chapter and open the next. Each day, I think of the little boy that we lost and all that could have been. I believe that he brings me surprises - today he brought me the smell of honeysuckle during my entire run with the dog. He continues to bring a smile to my lips and warmth to my heart every day with his memory. We miss him so much.

Holly,
I will be praying for you tomorrow. I see How you are honoring your son and honoring God by looking for blessings in your life. They are there, and you are wise to see them in fragrant flowers, in your strong body, in people who pray for you. I will pray for God to sustain you tomorrow.
Love,Rose
BTW- we named the baby I lost last year due to a cord accident Christian. He is with Christ too.
Holly, I will be praying for you tomorrow. I can't imagine what you are feeling...Isaac Christian is with God, you can be sure, and he is smiling down as you honor him and his memory. Sending you lots of prayers and hugs across the miles...

I'm thinking about you today and hoping that this day will be meaningful for you.
