I saw your story on the Oprah show boy I herd your story and I could not stop cryin. But please know that god gave your son two ANGELS to watch over him,until he was ready to go home to our heavenly father and that was both of you. I can't say I know how you feel. I have not had such a loss like yours. But hearing your story about how much both of you loved Eliot in such a short time is a life time of love for him.I look at it that every day he fought for his life it was ablessing to all of you. I look at it as if he had lived for 99 years of life in a short 99 days. Ilove that you had a birthday cake for him every month he was here. I also saw the up date on your having a baby girl. So congrats on that hope all is well with the new baby. You are in my thougths and prayers for along and happy healthy baby or more kids in the future.luv RoseAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11469587.post-57534614852022188292008-10-29T05:05:00.000-04:002008-10-29T05:05:00.000-04:00I am so sorry for your lost.

My heart hurts so deeply for you, tears form in my eyes, and yet I am always so very amazed at how truly <i>Christ</i> just pours forth from both of you. I've often started to write a comment, but, honestly, I'm usually just speechless. There is something evident in both of you that I've rarely seen before... you make me hungry for more of my Jesus, but ache to see what that has meant for you.

I know we may never meet this side of Heaven, but I wanted to tell you that I am another life, of obviously so many, that has been touched and changed by Eliot's 99 day visit to this earth.

Will we LIVE the moments of our lives, or will we rush through them, gulping them with chasers of frivolity or busyness? You have chosen to live the moments of the lives that God has placed before you. When you die, you will never have to wonder 'whether or not you have really lived'.

He is a Trisomy 18 baby, named Christian. We've watched these parents journey through his birth, and now life with him. Sarah told me about your website and so I hope you won't mind me referring Christian's mom,Kim, here to read your posts. Christian is now 2 1/2 months old. I know Kim will be encouraged to read what you've shared from your heart, as it's likely very similar to what she and her husband are experiencing. xoxooxGirl Raised in the Southhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589779898471579630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11469587.post-66009370879425467582007-02-02T00:20:00.000-05:002007-02-02T00:20:00.000-05:00Ginny, your messaged moved me, as the mother of 2 ...Ginny, your messaged moved me, as the mother of 2 small children i cant imagine what you are going through. I checked your website vigilantly, and still do, all through out Eliots life, looking forward to pictures and good news. My heart broke the day that he passed. Eliot changed my life in the fact that we all have to live our life like you did for those 3 months, as though life is a precious, fragile gift. I will never forget you, your husband or little Eliot.
