This is the story of our precious baby boy, who was diagnosed prenatally at
17 weeks with a fatal chromosome disorder called Trisomy 13. Although
Jonathan's condition is considered "not compatible with life", we desired to give
him every chance at life. Our prayer is that those who are touched by our story
are drawn to God, who is Life Himself. John 14:6

Still one of my favorite videos ever. I admit that I watch this about once a week and every time is like the first: sadness mixed with joy, tears mixed with smiles. Love it.
ReplyDeleteLauren, he is so precious. Seeing that sweet little mouth reminds me of my Elliana. What a blessing that their lives never truly ended and that they are with our Creator!
ReplyDeleteLauren...I have to admit that I can't bring myself to watch this...knowing how much your heart hurts and how you miss him...and knowing what it will bring up in my mind.
ReplyDeletePlease know that even though I don't have the strength to watch it just yet, I am lifting you in prayer and missing your sweet little one with you.
Much love!
Lauren,
ReplyDeleteI was just reminded that Jonathan was born exactly one month before Henry, and that you and Katie both had milestones yesterday. I just wanted you to know I think of you often and read your blog, still. We are not yet in the FL Panhandle, but plan a move as SOON as our house sells. When Katie comes to visit we will definitely get you girls together. I can't wait to meet you. Praying for you...Love, Julie, Katie's mom...Henry's "Mimi"
I watched this again today and Lauren you truly are a gift from our heavenly Father to all who catch a glimpse of your faith in Christ <>< I will be praying for you and I thank you for sharing your precious son Jonathan with all of us who get to see FAITH, HOPE, and LOVE on display through your very beautiful in JESUS family !
ReplyDeleteEven though I have never met you, you are in my prayers everyday. My heart aches for you. Everytime I see this video, I cry.
ReplyDeleteAnd the God of all grace,who called you to his eternal glory in Christ,after you have suffered for a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm, and steadfast. -1st Peter 5:10. Waiting with you for restoration. -Jen
ReplyDeleteWe've lost two and understand how horrible it can be. Hold your husband and your daughter often, God will take care of the rest.
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for your family,Lauren.
ReplyDeleteI'm remembering him today, too. What a precious precious boy.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog today in search of a comforting Bible verse to help me with the loss of my baby due to a miscarriage a few years ago. My husband and I are thinking of getting a tattoo in memory of our little peanut and I wanted a Bible verse to put with it. In coming across your blog I fell upon your video, might I say how truly amazing I think it is that you posted this and shared Johnathan and your moments you had with him, with the world! You have no idea how many lives you have touched because of your bravery! God Bless you! I pray that God will continue to give you strength to share Johnathan's story and to get through the heartache that you may feel at times. Try and remember a loss on earth is truly only a gift in heaven. God bless you and your family!
