He was three months old and we believe he died of SIDS. I just happened to hit 'next blog' and was directed here and think there was a reason. I am touched by your story and am excited to see there is hope that my family and I can find a new 'normal' sometime. Thank you for sharing your story.<br /><br />Holle<br />www.hollejoy.blogspot.comhollejoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08177633258828235546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17165193.post-10045495822278700622011-09-19T06:40:22.532-04:002011-09-19T06:40:22.532-04:00I to lost little William Jr. bck in Feb. 2005.

I think of him a lot and cry sometimes because I miss him so much. In the months before his birth we bonded in a special way and after his birth I still noticed his personality yes even in death he held his own. William was still-born and we never knew why but I never questioned it because God knows best. Mya was so beautiful and you all should be proud.SONJAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11697675098918254496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17165193.post-25923193405562004972011-07-02T22:28:48.125-04:002011-07-02T22:28:48.125-04:00Laura and Dan,

I was encouraged by your words about the song "Blessed Be Your Name"...it was a hard song to sing for us 9 1/2 years ago after the loss of our oldest son, Stefan, who was 5, but over the years, I am able to sing it again. May you continue to find peace, knowing that your precious Mya is in Heaven with Jesus! The pictures you posted are precious and I am blessed to have been able to see them. The road of grief is a constant in our lives, but the hope we have in Christ gives us courage to walk forward day by day. God bless you and your little guy. He and his future siblings will learn of their sister and Heaven will be that much more real to them!! We have been blessed with 6 other children...2 that knew their brother for a short time, but 4 who have never met him (yet!!) and we have many talks about Heaven in our home! May God continue to comfort your hearts!!

Six years ago this October my husband Dan and I experienced much the same as you have. Our Son Micah went home to be with the Lord. I can honestly say I know what you are going through and want you to know I will be praying for you through this difficult time of "difficult blessings". I adopted that phrase and although it may not make much sense I believe you touched on it in your blog Laura. Blessed be the name of the Lord. You are very special individuals and I truly believe God has been and will use you and your special treasure Mya to glorify His name. You are in my heart and prayers<BR/>Love Kerri ThomsonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17165193.post-67157320296466052722007-08-21T19:38:00.000-04:002007-08-21T19:38:00.000-04:00Dan and Laura my name is Erin and I came across yo...Dan and Laura my name is Erin and I came across your blog through Keith and Stacey's blog.

May you find comfort in the arms of each other, and in the arms of our amazing God, He does give and take away, and He is such a blessed God. He does know all that is planned for your lives, and I'm sure that through this tragedy you will be blessed. I will be praying for you as you try to understand this.
