Approaching the day
The anniversary of Noah's birth is approaching. Who knows what will come with the day May 3rd. It is hard not to look to the future and wonder what I will do on that day in 5 years, 30 years. How long will I feel the need to remember, celebrate, grieve on May 3rd - whatever it is I will do. And will it be okay that first year that I don't? I have a hard time focusing on the now. Maybe because I would rather speculate my feelings years from now then actually feel them now. I can tell you I am not looking forward to that day. Inspired by Joe Hays' recollection of Ira's birth, I hope to recall Noah's next week. Like Ira, Noah's birth and the things leading up to it, were overlooked by the unexpected events afterwards.
Check back soon.

Very strange I check the site. But I found the Noah box you gave us today, and put it on my bookshelf in the study. Thought I'd check in on you, and there was your comments. And I must say, I don't want to relive that moment either. My heart races every time I recall that moment on moms face, or the fear in my chest. And wonder, oh how I wish it were different.
Like Steve, I just randomly stopped over knowing that the new news is over at the whaleybaby blog. But for some reason, Noah is never very far from my thoughts. And so periodicaly I stop over if only to see his face at the top of this blog's page.
I'll be thinking of you, the family and Noah even more over the next couple of weeks. May God's presence be known in and through the name Noah Whaley.
Noah's light still shines bright. His life is a testament to the glory of our God whose face shines upon us. I love you guys. Mel Mel
I found myself thinking of precious Noah, remembering the day a dear friend asked me to start praying for him. Noah touched so many hearts,without ever uttering a word..we all should be so blessed to live a life like that.

Thought of Noah and checked back in...we will pray for you over the coming days. We haven't forgotten his precious life and how much faith the Whaley family has.
