I having been thinking of Noah a lot and I recently remembered a moment last year. Noah was toddling around Aunty Glenda's house last year; he would come over to check out his new baby cousin Taylor sleeping in her little pink chair. He was so curious about her and so gentle when he would come up to touch her little teeny hand. I remember saying to him "Don't worry buddy, next year Taylor will be following you around everywhere". It saddens me that she didn't get to spend those fun moments with her big cousin. But I think in some way your little angel Noah has touched my little girl's spirit. In this last month she has gone from my cautious and careful little girl to not being afraid to try anything, climb anything, and thrills in the joy of all around her. She also has a love for shoes and being outside at all times. Thank you Noah for blessing us with your Joy of life.

And If I Go,
While you're still here....
Know that I live on,
Vibrating to a different measure
-behind a veil
you cannot see through,
You will not see me...
So you must have faith.
I wait for the time-
When we can soar
together again-
Both aware of each other.
Until then....
Live your life to the fullest-
And when you need me.
Just whisper
My name in your heart
.....I will be there.....

What a beautiful service! Jamie, Christine and I watched it together. Thank you for sharing it with us. It's so hard being so far away from you guys at this time. I am so thankful for all the moments we shared with Noah. Even though there were only a few; they were special. The moment I fell in love with your little boy, was when I rocked him to sleep in my arms at his baby shower up at the cottage. It wasn't hard to fall in love with such a delightfully sweet little boy. He touched our lives in such a short time. I look at all the photos of him and can see that he lived each moment to its fullest potential. In each photo he had such purpose with everything he did whether it was his smile and dimples that warmed your heart, or something he was accomplishing. It's so wonderful that Noah's gift can allow other children to start to live a life.
It seems sometimes life gets so hectic with work or daily tasks to complete, we tend to, not forget; but underestimate the gift of life and the time we have here. I will always carry Noah close to my heart and be a more understanding, patient parent because of him. And I think Jamie realizes that tasks, and work can come 2nd to the moments you can share with your children.
I heard Glenda's message yesterday when we came home from Taylor's birthday party. It really touched my heart, with all everyone is going, through that you guys took the time to think of my daughter on her special day. Taylor wore her gold cross "for Noah" yesterday, to her party. This family is so special and I am so thankful that I met Jamie and became a part of his family. My children are so truly blessed.
I love you guys and I am thinking of all of you. And in the future when everything settles down and you feel you need family around call us and we will do our best to come down and spend some time with you guys.
Love Always,
Devon, Jamie, Ryan, & Taylor xoxoxoxox
