Our grandson, Alexander Lee
Our grandbaby, Alex, passed away one year ago, November 2nd from SMA
Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Alex in his pepere's arms
Alex was just 3 months old when he died, and he has left a giant hole in our hearts.
Our consolation is that one day we shall see him again, healed and made whole.
precious
After major surgery which would allow him to be fed thru his stomach
We had the family over the Sunday before Alex died for a big family dinner, not knowing he would only be with us another 2 days.
At this point he was not able to cry anymore, but he could make little noises
I LOVE this photo of him looking straight into my eyes, my heart...
Just a couple of minutes of our dear grandson
I believe this is the only video clip anyone has of him...
You can hear him trying to laugh out loud here!
Our last visit together...
"Praise You In This Storm"
I was sure by now
God You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say "Amen", and it's still raining
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I remember when
I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry to you
And you raised me up again
My strength is almost gone
How can I carry on
If I can't find You
But as the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise the God who gives
And takes away
And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
For You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of Heaven and Earth
In Christ alone,
Cindy
I remember this journey well.

ReplyDeleteI remember this week, last year. I'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteWhat a praise to know that you will see little Alex someday. Heaven is so much closer when we have loved ones there waiting for us. My dad joined the saints in heaven this Thursday. He loved children so he is probably have a great time with all of the little ones.
ReplyDeleteI know that your heart still grieves for the little man. He was precious. {{{{{hugs}}}}}

Aw, my heart aches for your family, Cindy, as you remember your little Alex and his short life. May the Lord bless you all with peace and comfort in the knowledge that he IS whole again and you WILL see him again...
ReplyDeleteA year? My time goes on. His eyes, old soul in young body. He came for you and to love. My friend who lost a son two years past said it still hurts so much, but someone told her that at 3 years it gets better.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is a number and I do so believe that while it will never be "better" it will be easier.
Blessings to you and your family.
Cindy,
ReplyDeleteYou know my heart breaks for you and your family.
Many tears are being shed but as the song and bible says he holds our tears in his hand.
Many blessings,
Cindy
So sorry for the loss of your sweet baby. God Bless you and your family. Love the music.
