My Sweet Baby

My little man. Precious little butterball. I miss him so much. My heart hurts so bad. For two months, I kissed those sweet cheeks and held him tight. I hope the memory of that feeling can carry me through until I see him in heaven one day.
The words to this song kind of summarize our feelings...our hearts are raw. But, we know that, in Christ, there are no goodbyes. Love you all...
"Homesick" by Mercy Me
You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you
I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home
I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now
In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again
And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

I know we don't know each other very well,just from high school, but I am so sorry for your loss. Please know you are in my prayers. I pray that God will comfort and encourage you and that he will place a very special memory of your baby on your heart that you will always remember.

Sincerely, Nicole Klingensmith
