Here come my emotions.....I have fought them for a while now. I miss my baby. I miss my strong little guy, my monkey, my prayer.I feel so deep when I feel. I am lost inside of myself and my heart. Where is he? I know the answers but i still ask.My friend told me that I have to know why. I have to know how the puzzle turns out, I ache for the big picture. That's who I am.I cried so hard last night. He would have been two yesterday.I listened to his funeral service for the first time in a year. I remebered how he looked....just like a porceline doll. I remembered how i kissed him and how much i just wanted to pick him up and run like hell. But I knew that no matter how hard I ran or how far, he would still be dead.As I listened to our pastor at Levi's funeral, I remembered how determined I was then, in that moment, to tell the world that Jesus was the only way that we'll be reunited with our loved ones, that because of Christ, I will see my Levi again. Levi is my treasure in heaven. My family are my treasures.I'm a far cry from the woman I was at my child's funeral. My hope has dwindled and nearly burnt out. Where is my faith?I can't give in to whatever is happening to me. Levi is waiting for me to come home.if I sound crazy to anyone out there, i assure you that I don't care. I know that I am not. I finally know that.Levi was my taste of heaven. I loved him in a way that I can not define, it ran so deep and so strong. I fought for him the moment we touched, through the pnemonia, through his surgery, through his transfusion and even through his death, it was me fighting for him to stay. He didn't stay....but he IS waiting for me to come home when I am done here. How easily i forgot that truth in my grief.I can't run from my pain anymore. I have to embrace it.......but, also, I have to finish my job here and retain my hope and my faith and the love that Levi showed me. I have to share it.That will give me a reason, a purpse and a will. God has not forsaken me or anyone else. He just wanted to take my Levi out of this place and give him rest.....I need to somehow rejoice in my son's peace and comfort and happiness and I need to hold fast to the Lord God that I know and not give in to this void inside of me because Levi knows that God made me stronger than that.

I am sorry for your pain, but, my heart rejoyces in the fact that you will be reunited at Home. Heaven is our home and we will be together in the presents of our Savior Jesus Christ. May GOD fill you with peace and comfort today. LYL Tonya
Well, I don\'t think you\'re crazy for your entry! You sound like a normal grieving mother. Also, one should never feel compelled to judge others or themselves for the type of entry that is written. You got out what you needed to say. The loss of anything is hard, but the loss of a child runs TOOOOOO deep for emotions to describe. The bond between mother/son is so connected, that words cannot describe. You know how you feel and trust that those feelings will get easier, but not easy. I do hope you can find it in your heart to find contentment w/God and the choice he made to take Levi up w/him in heaven. Things are worse when we don\'t have control over them or don\'t understand. All we can do is find faith in knowing that the right thing happened for Levi. Missing him is probably the hardest thing in the world, but sometimes reflect on you are still alive and make sure you are living life while you\'re here. I wish you a less of a load on your heart and shoulders. I\'ve never lost a child, but I sure hope that I\'ve said something that helps you on your journey. Bless you, sweetie pie! I miss you! I just haven\'t been able to connect myself enough to journal or message anyone. I\'ve been messaging people in need, but haven\'t wrote anything to anyone about what\'s going on w/me. Life is in the process of change and I\'m in a whirlwind, trying to embrace it. things are well, though....I wish you the same. take care, lovey! Paula XXXX
