...today you are 26...26 years ago God blessed us with you ~ a fuzzy headed little bundle of pure joy. You gave us 25 years of laughter, joy, pride and love. Your life, your hugs, your laugh, your impersonations, your ability to walk in a room and make everybody smile and laugh - all of it is was the biggest birthday gift that you, Jordan, ever gave to all of us. Now you belong to Heaven and the stars spell out your name....Jordy Boy.
Though your candle burned out long before due,
we shall always remember this day and YOU.
Your friends and family miss you so very, very much!!!!!!
Keep doing the butterfly drive-bys...we know you are around us.
We love you, always and forever....
***
They that dwell under his shadow shall return;
they shall revive as the corn and grow as the vine.
Hosea: 14:7
What a cute picture.
ReplyDeleteThe first year is the hardest...
the first birthday,
the first Christmas,
the first New Year's
without them.
You will be in my prayers.
Susan
Just want to let you know that I'm thinking about you today! I hope that you are surrounded by peace and happy memories.
ReplyDeleteI am crying as I read this! I know how your heart aches. I will be praying for you today!
ReplyDeleteI am wondering how I will make it through the "firsts". I dread the holidays for the first time in my life since Amber went to Heaven. I know she is watching down on us, but it is so hard without her to keep us laughing here on earth.
Please try to remember the good time and the funny moments we had with them. Jordan and Amber are probably entertaining each other in Heaven celebrating Jordan's birthday.
Hugs and Blessings,
Donna
I'm sad for you today dear,Becky...but,your faith gives others hope...we will see our loved ones again...what blessed hope and comfort in just knowing this truth...may God bless you with peace today.

Oh, sweet Becky. I know today is another of "those hard" days.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get to keep my son as long as you did, only a few short hours. But the hurt is always there.
Today have many wonderful reflections that sustain you.
I have a lot of souls that I think of when butterflys zing past me. Jordy is one of them.
Blessings to you and your family.

ReplyDeleteLove that picture! How wonderful that you have such happy memories of him and with him.

I had ordered to give as a gift, but now I'm wanting to keep it. You are in my prayers. laurie
ReplyDeleteYou've touched a stranger with your Hosea passage
ReplyDeleteI ask God to bless you and watch over you and your family
I'm surprised you kept him with those things up his nose, sugar!!! I can't stop laughing....Seriously, laughing my head off!!!
ReplyDeletexoxo,

He's cute. Just kidding!!!
Dear sweet friend, I am on my third glass of wine as I watch my wee Bonny Jean breath her last labored breaaths. I know I am being upheld by your prayers and that my loss can not compare with yours. In this world we will have trail and tribulation , but we both can rejoice that he, Jesus the christ has over come and look forward to a joyfull reunion. I know you didn't want Bonny to leave today but God may have other plans. I told her with that incredible clump of coal nose that if it is at all possible that she should sniff out Jordan and give hime a big birthday kiss from his mom , dad and brother. Strenght for today bright hope for tomorrow. Waveney
ReplyDeleteMy heart hurts for you tonight. This takes such courage to post I'm sure, but there's peace, knowing he is safe and well with our Savior. I celebrate your son, one I never knew and prayers forward for all who love him.
ReplyDeleteI come here often and I remember how very sad I felt for you when your son passed.I wish you strength and peace.
ReplyDeleteMy God give you peace today as he is loving your Jordy boy for you.
ReplyDeletePraying that you are safe and secure in His love today.
Hugs,
Sherry
Dear Becky ,Bonny is on her way. she departed this earth at 7:28. God was mercyful, I am on my 4th glass of wine and am celebrating her reserection with two choclate truffles. Perhaps she is with Jordy by now. Rembember GOD is good. Waveney
ReplyDeleteDear Becky, congratulations to you for giving birth 26 years ago to your wonderful son Jordy Boy. In Holland they always congratulate the mother. I like that, after all we carried them next to our heart for 9 months. Love you, sandi

Dearest B,

Here is a passage that has helped me: (I don't know the author)
ReplyDelete"I've only slipped away in the next room. Whatever we were to each other, that we are still. Play, smile, think of me. Let my name be the household word that it always was. Let it be spoken without effort.
Life means all that it ever meant. It's the same as it ever was; there is absolutely unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of your mind because I am out of your sight? I am but waiting for you for an interval, somewhere very near just around the corner. All is well. Nothing is past, nothing is lost. One brief moment and all will be as it was before--only better, infinitely happier and forever--we will all be one together with Christ."
May God bless you as you remember happy memories.
BB from Ga.
Happy Birthday to your beautiful young man. He continues to thrive on the other side of the garden wall...I will never forget the shock of that morning!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless you and your family, Becky! My thoughts and prayers are with you precious friend!

Dear Becky,
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable picture of your sweet son. How heavy your heart must be today, I wish I knew of some profound words that I could write but I'm at a loss. I just pray that God is holding you up in his loving arms as only he can do. Today and always.
Blessings to you and your family,
Sheila
Oh...... I just cried and cried... How my heart broke looking at that sweet face..... I know you cried that day..... Sorry I missed this post until today.......
ReplyDeleteI know that God celebrates his life now living with the Father but I know that the Father sees your heart and understands.........
Love ya girl...
You are in my thoughts and my prayers....m...
ReplyDeleteStopping in today to say "Hi" and tell you I am thinking about you.
ReplyDeleteI am praying God gives you love and a big hug today.
Love,

Happy Birthday to your Angel~boy.....Remembering those who fought for us today.
ReplyDeleteHugs and prayers~Sheri
Yes, happy birthday Jordy Boy! I can just imagine the heavenly cake he must have enjoyed, along with the sparkling lights covering it!
ReplyDeleteBecky, I know it has been so very hard for you. But you have really been an inspiration to us through this valley you've traveled. I am sure it has been rich and fertile for you. But difficult...in fact, impossible, to live. Jesus loves you, this I know. Hang on to that. Like a lifeline.
And remember that life is like a vapor and you will see Jordy Boy again. That is the one true comfort to a mother's tender heart.
Love you and will be praying for you through these holidays. Impress upon yourself to live them in memory of Jordan's zest for life.
Thinking of you & wishing you a day of peace and good memories.
ReplyDeleteAwwww Honey.....Happy Birthday to Jordan....wish you were together.
ReplyDeleteBIG FAT Hugs,
Robin
Warm hugs and tender prayers to you, my friend. You are always in my thoughts and on my heart.

I have learned so much from your grace. He was the sweetest little boy and the handsomest young man, keep celebrating his life.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable picture. He must have been quite the cut-up.
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are still with you and your family. Happy Belated Birthday Jordan!
Becky, I was not here all week and missed this day.I am very sorry I missed it. I know it was hard for you and Barry and Spencer. I think of you all everyday and pray you are doing better.You know that those little butterflies are him telling you hello and that he loves you. Love coming your way. Much much love to you all,Kathy
ReplyDeleteSWEET BECKY,
ReplyDeleteHUGS REAL TIGHT. I HAVE NO HEALING WORDS AS MY GRIEF IS JUST SO NEW I AM WORDLESS. I LOVE THE SCRIPTURE FROM HOSEA. JORDAN WAS SO VERY HANDSOME. I AM SO VERY, VERY SORRY, THAT BONNY JANE MADE HER TRIP OVER RAINBOW BRIDGE ON JORDAN'S BIRTHDAY....I SOMEHOW FEEL THAT THE TWO OF THEM HAD A NICE REUNION.
I ADMIRED YOUR FAITH BUT EVEN WITH MY FAITH AND KNOWING THAT AMY IS NOW PAIN FREE AND IN THE PRESENCE OF OUR LORD...I THINK IT WOULD BE BETTER TO GO ON OVER TO THE NUTTY SIDE AND THEN I WOULD NOT KNOW SHE WAS GONE. SHE SUFFERED SO TERRIBLY AND I JUST CANNOT GET THE IMAGES OUT OF MY MIND OF HER GASPING THOSE LAST BREATHS AND AS SICK AS SHE WAS BEGGING HER TO STAY........HOW COULD I BE SO SELFISH WHEN SHE HAD BEEN IN SUCH HORRIBLE UNCONTROLABLE PAIN. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT BECKY. I KNOW WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DO IT BUT THERE ARE TIMES THE DAYS ARE VERY DARK AND I CRY A BUCKET OF TEARS. I CANNOT GO THROUGH HER THINGS YET. WE OWN THE HOME SHE LIVED IN AND SHE DIED IN OUR HOME...I FEEL VERY PEACEFUL SHE DIED AT HOME....I JUST WANT HER BACK. WHEN I THINK SHE WILL NEVER BE THERE FOR A HOLIDAY...SHE WAS THE LIGHT OF MY HOLIDAY.
I'M SORRY BECKY...THIS ISN'T ABOUT ME...HOW INSENSITIVE...THIS IS A DAY FOR YOU AND JORDAN.
ANGEL HUGS
LOVE
DEBBIE
I think of you so often becky...and want you to know that I often think of your son too. My heart aches for you all but know that we, those who love you, pray for you and keep you in our hearts as we keep Jordan in our thoughts.

Love,
