Let's Get Shabby #46

Regular visitors to this blog will already know we lost a beautiful eldest son in an accident just over four years ago; the following months were very difficult with different issues arising from his passing as well as some illness which caused concern. We had three happy events in that 12 months too with the birth of his son and two of our sons being married. We had hoped the worst was behind us but in May 2011 our second son and his wife lost their baby, their third son who was 20 weeks in gestation. They had gone to have the 20 week scan and were told there was no heartbeat to be found. The sad parents were sent away to deal with their news while a decision was made as to when the baby would be brought on. Our daughter-in-law went into natural labour the next day and the little one was born and named. The hospital were wonderful with them and gave them lots of time, care and support while they held their little man and said their final goodbyes; they were encouraged to take photos which they treasure.
The rest of our grand children have their own album; I promised my son this little one would have his own page, there is a pocket under the border punch with a journaling tag for them to put the photos and his details.
They have since been blessed with another child, their fourth son, and the healing continues. My faith tells me, and my heart believes that my son and his nephew, our smallest angel, are together and will take care of each other and watch over us until we meet again.  
Thank you for looking and any comments you may leave, best wishes.
