There is an ache in my heart and tears in my eyes tonight. The last week has been a real roller coaster, physically and emotionally. I'm not ready to tell the whole story yet, but we said good-bye to our little boy yesterday. One of these days I'll come back and finish the story, but for here's what I have for now:
For William
Little Footprints on a page
Keepsakes in a box
Precious hints of who you are
But really not enough
Our hearts are filled with love for you
And there it will remain
Until we see you once again
In that most Perfect place
That someday seems so far away,
Oh, how I long to go
To hold you and be held by
His Everlasting Arms
Thank you so much for all the help, support and most of all the prayers...I don't know how to respond most to a lot of the messages/phone calls/emails, but please know we're thankful and in time, you'll hear from me again.

Dear Heather, I only know you through Jaime, but I've been told of your story a bit and been reading on your blog. We weep with you, and feel (in a very small measure) your pain and loss and sadness. Our hearts go out to you, as members of the body of Christ we suffer with you. May the Lord lift you in His mercy and make this difficult trial easier for you to bear. It's so hard to understand why...maybe we never will know fully why the Lord allows these things to happen to us. But trust Him, dear sister. He IS good. Look to Him, and find refuge under His wing. We lift you before Him now, along with your husband and daughter and pray that in some way blessing will come from this deep trial and you will grow closer to the heart of God and His presence.
Safe in His arms, what a peaceful thought. Lily said it so well, so many of my thoughts have come out in her comment. I'm praying you are comforted and that you will feel the supporting arms of the Lord around you both.
I'm hugging you in my heart, praying, and thinking of you all every day. Love you so much!
Dear Heather, Like most of your friends and family, words fail in expressing love, care, sympathy and all the other things we would hope to convey. Just wanted to say hello, to tell you we think of and pray for you and Trevor at this hard time. Praying for healing, of heart and mind, and also of your body, for peace and tranquility as you lay to rest all the emotions surrounding little William's birth and death. Most of all, we pray for strong recognition of the Everlasting Arms which hold you, that you might just lean in and rest.
With His overwhelming love,
Lois (& family) Heslop
