It was so hard to remember to do everything while I had the chance and I wasn't even in ICU like you. I guess we will always have a few regrets but I have learnt to be grateful for what I have. A few months ago, I was looking at some photos of Thomas. Andy was holding him while he died, and there in the photo we could see Thomas' foot! It was a bit blurry but we saw his toes!<br /><br />"But my main memory is of him on my shoulder...it felt like he was just sleeping." That's a beautiful memory, Amanda!<br /><br />God bless!Sue Elvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461161335483760142noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7288170802154521999.post-17208579587134254982012-07-10T00:57:05.582-07:002012-07-10T00:57:05.582-07:00Yes, and it never hit me just how white and shrive...Yes, and it never hit me just how white and shriveled (with purple nails)it was by that time already until today :( I have a black and white I usually look at, and it just looks like a normal newborn's hand. He'd been in the freezer by then...I was so out of it for a few days,well...three to be exact, in ICU that they brought him to me a few times, but it's so very hard to remember much of my time with him. I know Doug had me unwrap his toes and look at them. But my main memory is of him on my shoulder...it felt like he was just sleeping. Bless you too Sue!Mandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08095828644381519508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7288170802154521999.post-52557546988179347872012-07-10T00:41:34.718-07:002012-07-10T00:41:34.718-07:00Amanda,
Thank you for the link to my post and you...Amanda,<br /><br />Thank you for the link to my post and your kind words!! I never really thought about the meaning of suffering until Thomas died. It was consoling to learn that suffering has value. As you said: bittersweet!<br /><br />Is that a photo of little Noah's hand? So tiny and precious!<br /><br />God bless you.Sue Elvishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04461161335483760142noreply@blogger.com
