Happy Birthday Baby Jack!

Its been 2 years today that we said hello and goodbye to our second son, Jack Alan. Or as we call him Baby Jack. I can't believe it's been 2 years. Today we went out to the cemetary and took 2 helium balloons like we have before, wrote messages on them and 'sent them to heaven' for Baby Jack's birthday party! I think about him everyday, miss him and wonder what he would have been like, but then I think about our beautiful baby Wyatt that God gave us after our loss and I thank God everyday that we have him.

A place where children Are

what kind of place would heaven be

with all its streets of gold

if all the souls that dwell up there

like yours and mine were old

How strange would heaven's music sound

when harps begin to ring

if children were not gathered 'round

to help the angels sing

The children that God sends to us

are only just a loan,

he knows we need their sunshine

to make a house a home

We need the inspiration of

a baby's blessed smile

he doesn't say they've come to stay

just lends them for awhile

sometimes it takes them years to do

the work for which they come

sometimes in just a month or two

our father calls them home

I like to think some souls up there

bear not one sinful scar

I love to think of heaven as

a place where children are.
