Jaden,I can't find the right words to express the void within me. I miss you so much my son,my peaceful one.Never did you give us a hard time. last month,a day like today you were in the ICU.As I was about to leave for home at night,I called your name and you responded so well. I sang to you,the song that you seemed to love 'I love you,you love me,we are a happy family,with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you,won't you say you love me too'.As I sang you moved so much towards me in the incubator and I cried because I longed to hold you and cuddle you like I did before the surgery.I cried all the way home. I didn't know that it was our last mum to son bonding session.I didn't know that one month later, I would still cry like I did but this time, I can't look forward to seeing your handsome face tomorrow after being away for the nite. Jaden,I miss you dearly,I feel the pain in my stomach,a day hasn't passed without wondering whether am dreaming or it is real. I try to cling on memories of your smile while you slept,your kisses..oh my heart aches and longs for you my son.I still remember how I pleaded with God for your life on that day,I have never begged for something like that and I hoped you would wake up and we would have a great testimony on our miracle baby. but the Lord so it fit that you join Him. that thought,I hold it with mixed feelings. Am glad you are with Jesus,but I miss you baby and would have loved to have you here with us.My testimony is different today because,no matter the buckets of tears I cry,when I feel I can't go on, I have learned to trust God to give me strength,just to wake up.Some days are better than others,some are hard like when your big sister misses you and says we go see you in hospital or that she wants to see you sleeping peacefully like you did in the living room.she gets excited when I show her pictures of you,her favorite is that of you while you are awake. I love you so much,we all do and miss you dearly.
A friend requested me to share my story on the journey we walked with Caleb's family. So below is a very long blog on that over 1 month. Am not sure what is in store for us ahead but this far it has been God. After our experience with Atrial Septal Defect(ASD) through our daughter Samara, I felt within me a call to look for people to partner with regarding kids with heart issues. So In January this year, I checked the net and bumped into a local NGO. The organization basically deals with kids with heart defects from poor families. I thought it was a noble call and contacted the organization. They were fast to respond and I visited them alone and over the weekend on a Saturday with my family. On the Saturday we went, we met Caleb and his parents. This was end of January and they were discussing with the founder of the organization about how to raise airfare for them to travel to India, first week of February. I held Caleb briefly in my arms and his mum kept saying one day her...
