Georgie's Day

Today is three years from the day my baby boy, Georgie, died and in honor of him I planted my tomato seeds for this year's vegetable garden.  Spring gardening always reminds me of him and everything in my garden keeps his memory alive in my heart.  I am still amazed that the tiniest tomato seed can make such a giant plant but at the same time I see the seeds that come up with no leaves at all and soon wither and die and I am reminded of the fragility of life and that it is such a miracle that I even have two healthy children and another one wiggling around inside me.  There were no tears today, no calls, no hugs, no cards but I really don't feel like I need them anymore. I wore his birthstone baby ring on my heart locket necklace so it would be close to my heart and I am happy and find joy in my life every day.   He is such an important part of my faith and hope in the plan of salvation and I receive strength from his perfect example.  I will always strive to do what is right so that I may someday be reunited with him because I know he walks with Christ and is working to bring us all home.  I love you angel boy.

Awww, Georgie. So true how wonderful it is having babies at special times, like Georgie in spring with all the daffodils and magnolias and cherry blossom come up, and River at Thanksgiving and Nya at Christmas. I am excited to meet Sir George on the other side of the veil - I'm sure he and Rio will be best buddies!
