On December 4th, our sweet boy would have been 4 months old. There is not a day that goes by that we don't ache for him. Some days are better than others. We can't help but think of how our life would be different if he didn't go to be with Jesus. When we see babies that are his age or hear a baby's cry in church, our heart just hurts. It is still difficult for me to go to the baby section and see all the little boy clothes that I should be buying. I am suppose to have an infant in my arms, and my heart AND body doesn't let me forget it.
I die a little inside when I see Jason looking at fathers with their sons with longing in his eyes.
Though there are bad days, even those days are laced with joy. We are so thankful for God's amazing love and strength. We are so blessed to have family and friends that are a constant support. We couldn't get through each day without the knowledge that our God has given us a hope and a future. We can't help but look at all we are blessed with and be overwhelmed with all that God has given us.
This prayer is constant in our hearts:
Dear Jesus,
We dreamed of the day that we would hold him in our arms and tell him all about You. Now we ask You to hold him in Your arms and tell him all about us.
Kiss our sweet boy for us, Jesus.

He is beautiful, Nicole. You are not forgotten.
Thinking about you!!!!
Thank you for sharing. Happy birthday Kyle. He's waiting for his family to rejoin him in heaven.
He is so beautiful, and every picture is so precious. Praying for you this morning and for that ache that probably never quite eases...
Your prayer is incredibly touching. We pray that God continues to use this in your lives for the "good" even though it is hard to see at times. Your testimonies throughout this have spoken to many people. We feel blessed to know you!
What an absolutely handsome baby boy! We received your Christmas card the other day ... thank you - you guys are fantastic! I finally had my New York/Philly photos printed and that picture of Rowan sleeping in that pack is the cutest ever! I know Chris won't be taking a class out by you this time around, but we might make a long weekend trip out to see you either way. we'll see. we're learning what it is like having one kid in high school and the other in junior high!
We love you lots and continue to pray for you! Happy Christmas!
Nicole-

Love, the Johnson family
