It hardly seems as if a year has almost passed since our precious little one was called home to be with God (7/16/09). It seems like yesterday that I was pregnant and planning his future. My how we can plan and God can change those plans because after all He is God! I was talking to a friend today and said time brings about better understanding of why things happen. When you are in the midst of your trials and tribulations you most often do not see nor understand WHY?! But, God did not ask our permission to test our faith in Him. These tests and trials come our way to make us stronger to increase our faith so we can share our testimony with others. So, today, I understand more than I did a few months ago that my son had a purpose and I see that purpose in action everyday. I see it when strangers make comments on the blog, I hear it when friends and acquaintances tell me how their faith increased during our storm. What an awesome feeling! I am so proud to be Prince Will's mom. His legacy lives on through his story. STOP! You say legacy, our understanding of legacy usually has the thought process that for someone to have a legacy they need to have lived awhile. That may be our carnal understanding of the word legacy but God does not see it that way. He gives each of us an assignment and if we follow His direction we can reach anyone we meet in a simple 5 minute conversation or a mere action they witness. When God wants action, He does not take His time! So, today as I reflect over the past 18 months, I am thankful, I am proud, I am sad-I miss my angel but I am also hopeful for the future. I have said it before, God has awesome plans for us. Keep William and I in your prayers as we go through this week.
Today, 7/16/10, we released balloons in memory of our angel. We couldn't decide how many to release, William said lets release 7, well before we arrived at the graveside, two popped! I guess Prince Will told us! He wanted 5 balloons released! =) After we shared our time with Prince Will we went to select his headstone. It was a sad moment but we selected a beautiful headstone that we have decided to have placed on his 2nd birthday, 12/28/08. We decided we did not want to have it placed the date he earned his angel wings but the day he was sent from heaven to us. So this December we will have Prince Will's final earthly resting place adorned with his headstone. We know he lives in our hearts everyday! We love you angel and miss you very much!
