Noah's Ashes

Today Jonathan went to the funeral home to pick up Noah's ashes. This is another difficult day for us. Before Jon left we wrote Noah a message to put in his box along with a ribbon and a peddle from one of his roses. It is comforting knowing that his ashes will be kept in a special box made with love by Papa.
Noah,
We know you are safe and warm in Heaven still the thought of your ashes being all that is left of your beautiful, tiny body is very difficult. Your body is what held your Spirit while you were on earth and though it was your body we cuddled and kissed while you were with us it is your Spirit we love. Missing you lots.
Love you forever, Daddy, Mama & David

Jon, Mellisa & David,
A beautiful box full of precious memories. Cherish them all. Remember them always whether it is with joy or sadness. The Lord understands it all and He is forever faithful to meet all of your needs. You are in my prayers. Love you all.
