Happy Birthday Bo!

Hello GOD,
It has been 33 years ago today that you blessed me with a beautiful baby boy. Thank you for that amazing wonderful gift. He took his own sweet time getting here, a long difficult delivery, no heartbeat, complications galore, but YOU restored him because YOU knew you had plans for his future. Plans to enrich our lives, plans to bless us and to provide us with joy, laughter, tears even heartache. Plans to share him with many others, plans to hold him close when he hurt, plans to wipe his tears and to cry so many of our own. You knew him before he was born and you gifted him to us. You chose us to raise him.

Why, I don't know, but I am so thankful that you did. Sadness envelopes my soul today as I miss our child so much. My heart hurts with every beat, my breath almost escapes me, every step I take is shear agony, the pain is truly almost to much to bear but bear it I must because he was only a gift.

A precious gift given to us to raise in your ways, to teach of your love, to show him the LIGHT to your path so that someday we will be joined again in eternity. You are the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIGHT, with out you surely we will die. Bo didn't die on April the 3rd, he just started living completely in your arms that day.

My arms are empty now, they ache as only a Mother's arms can when her baby is gone, but someday Jesus will wrap HIS loving arms around me, embrace me and comfort me. Someday, I will join Bo in Heaven and hold him once again in my arms, my Mother's arms will be empty no more, never to ache again. Happy Birthday Son, I love you to Heaven and back.
Mom
