Gabe's 6th Birthday!

I have a six year old.  I still cannot believe my sweet, gentle-natured little boy is six.  It's crazy to think back to what we were doing six years ago.  Gabe's birthday was the happiest and saddest day of our lives. 
Gabe was the balm of God's love to us.  God sent us Gabe to comfort us.  And what an incredible comfort he has been.  Although it is bittersweet at times.  Through many of Gabe's milestones I have often wondered what Nathaniel would look like or be doing.  I would wonder how Gabe and Nathaniel would interect.  Would they want to sleep in the same room, always be together.

Gabe is very proud that he is a twin and has a twin brother in heaven. 

The Balm Of God's Love

by M.S.Lowndes

When we lose someone we love
The loss seems too great to bear
God sends us friends to comfort us
To show that He deeply cares

But in the dark hours of the night
When there’s nobody else around
When we feel the saddest and loneliest
It’s there God’s love can be found

It’s like a soothing, healing balm
To soothe our broken hearts
The healing oil poured over us
That flows into every part

We can rest secure in God’s love
And know He’s by our side
He holds us when we feel as though
A part of us has died
