Nicholas' Touch: Some Pictures

NICHOLAS WARREN REEVES

OUR SWEET ANGEL BABY

NOVEMBER 7, 2008

Dear Mommy and Daddy,

Before we said our first hello,

The time had already passed.

For when you held me in your arms,

I had gone to heaven to rest.

I felt angelic tears down my cheeks,

And I watched you as you wept.

I wish I could have changed it all,

Your tears touched my soul so deep

But mommy & daddy when you are sad,

Please be assured I know.

For death cannot take away your love,

It will only continue to grow.

When you are feeling far away,

And missing me so much.

Close your eyes and feel my wings,

Their soft and gentle touch.

Or at night as you sleep,

I will join you in a dream.

You will see me standing close to you.

And we’ll be lost within my wings.

So my dear mommy and daddy,

As you go from day to day,

Find comfort in the knowledge,

I am never that far away.

Some Pictures

Every spring I take a picture of the boys (intended for Mother's Day gifts). This year it has been very difficult to get in the 'mood'. In my heart, I wanted to incorporate Nicholas in some way. My Aunt gave me a beautiful, little, white bear with angel wings when we lost Nicholas. It sits beside one of his pictures in our home. So, I decided that that bear will symbolize our sweet Angel. Sigh.....he should physically be in the picture with his brothers....

Anyway, here are a few of the shots we managed to take.

******

Love to you all.

Shanti Mama said...: What cuties! Like Lindsay said above, it breaks my heart that the picture isn't truly complete. I'll be thinking of you on mother's day.; May 4, 2009 at 8:10 AM
Bluebird said...: Precious! I like the last one especially - you can see the smiles sneaking through the seriousness :); May 4, 2009 at 1:03 PM
Dalene said...: I love that idea and may have to steal it if I make it to the other side of this pregnancy. I was given a bear in the hospital that sits in B's bassinet. Would be a good idea for holiday photo cards, too.; May 14, 2009 at 11:06 AM
