The home where it was my job, as his mommy, to deliver him.
Home with Jesus in heaven.
Rest in Mary's arms with no pain my sweet baby boy.
Or maybe you will be running with a straight back and strong legs, playing ball as the left-handed pitcher you were meant to be.
I will miss you.
I was so blessed to be your mommy .
I know that one day I will see you and you will call out to me...
"MaMa!!"
Until then my youngest boy, my "lucky number 7"....
Until then.
We love you all so much and are praying for you as you grieve. Rest in Peace, sweet boy. You were an inspiration to many.
ReplyDeleteLove you and Henry Carla. So glad I got to hold him and kiss his sweet head when you were here.
ReplyDeleteI have been sobbing all evening! My heart hurts for you. I know that I am blessed to have met your sweet Henry. May he run and play with Jesus for all eternity.
ReplyDeletePrayers for you and your whole family as your family is missing their littlest brother.
Touched by following his journey. Praying so much for you.
ReplyDeleteMy family is praying for your family. I found your blog via Heidi C. on Facebook and have browsed your posts. It's clear how loved Henry is and how he was a treasured member of your family. God bless you as you mourn your little boy until you meet again.
ReplyDeleteCarla... you don't know me, and I know you by name only... but I've watched the Reece's Rainbow world grieve for your sweet boy tonight, seen his pictures on everyone's page, and my heart broke for you as a Mama. My prayers are with you and your family and your sweet boy. Bless you all. Please know that in the last 14 months, that little boy knew more love than many people know in a whole lifetime. Love he never would've known without you. You changed his whole world, and I know he changed yours. I know nothing is much comfort in a time like this... but just remember always that he was loved, by you, by many. I will pray without ceasing. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteWeeping. Thank you for being so strong, and for being his mommy. He loves you so.
ReplyDeleteHeroic. Everything about your story and Henry's life has been heroic. Love you and you are in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteI love you, my dear friend. I am weeping along with you. I wish I could be there with you. You gave Henry what no one else could. You were his mommy. He knew love because of you. You are an inspiration...let Henry's legacy live on...
ReplyDeleteEarlier this week, Cami was explaining Heaven to Maggie and Frankie. Heaven is free from all suffering. And for my kids w/ food allergies, it also bears a striking resemblance to Candyland. So, tonight, Henry is running around Heaven eating candy. ♥
ReplyDeleteCarla, I am not sure what to say. I am crying for you now, for the hole Henry leaves in your family, but I know he is so happy now. He went from your loving arms to his heavenly Mother's. I will never forget his story and yours; you have been an inspiration to me.
ReplyDeleteCarla, I am so sorry for your loss. But all I can think is Henry KNOWS EARTHLY LOVE from YOU thru God Almighty and tonight he's dancing with Jesus. What sweet departure...
ReplyDeleteI love you,
Christie
Many, many prayers for you and your family, Carla. Thank you for sharing Henry's journey with all of us. May God bless you in this time of sorrow. <>
ReplyDeleteOh Carla,
ReplyDeleteWe grieve with you, we weep with you, our hearts ache with and for you. Thank you for taking the time to share this as you are on so many of our minds tonight. What a special little boy you chose to be your son. He was blessed beyond words. "I am so sorry" doesn't seem adequate, but it's all I have. God's blessings on you & your family in the coming days, months and years as you grieve this huge loss, your son and children's brother, Sweet Henry. My family will be praying for you and your family, be sure of that. ♥
Carla my family is praying for you and your family. Henry was just the cutest little boy ever. We are praying for peace that passes all understanding.
ReplyDeleteI have been heartbroken and crying all day. I don't even know what to say, except I love you and I am praying for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteSuch a short little life, but such a powerful one! Our prayers will be lifting you up to heaven while you grieve the loss of your sweet Henry. St. Henry pray for us! God Bless, Renee
ReplyDeleteThough I don't know you, I've been praying since I saw the first FB prayer request. I offered all the angst of my son's 2 hour dialysis doctor appointment for all of you. My heart broke when I heard the news. I'm so sorry that he has been taken from your arms so soon, but so glad that he is now free from suffering. The image of him running into Mama Mary's arms is priceless.
ReplyDeleteYou all will continue to be in our prayers.
I am so very sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful boy with us, he will be missed. Keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteCarla. I don't have any words. I'm praying for you and crying with you. Your boy is not forgotten, he will inspire and save many more children. That I am sure about. Tons of hugs and love being sent your way.
ReplyDeletePraying, Carla. So very sorry that your arms and heart are grieving the loss of Henry. Thankful that you can find rest in knowing that he is held in the loving arms of Jesus. You did well, Mama.
ReplyDeleteCarla,
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the highs, saddened by the lows of following Henry's life online. So sorry for the loss of your baby boy. Thinking of all.
Theresa Casey Flynn
Oh Carla, I just have no words. My heart is just breaking for you! I wish I could be there to help in some way. I keep thinking of Henry, running and playing up in Heaven and watching over you.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry!! My heart aches for you. My prayers are with you, Carla.
ReplyDeleteCarla (and family) - though I've never actually met you, your dedication has been an incredible inspiration to me. Henry was so blessed to have you, and though his life was short, he will be remembered by many of us as a very special, very determined little boy, and a testament to a mother's dedication and love. Blessings on you all.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry!! My heart aches for you. My prayers are with you, Carla.
ReplyDeleteI just want you to know that you don't know me, but I am praying for you, your family, and your sweet baby boy. May he stand tall in the Glory of God.
ReplyDeleteNo words, many prayers for peace. Bless you all!
ReplyDeleteI am so terribly sorry for your loss, Carla. You and your family are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteSaint Henry Augustus, pray for us! I will always regret not stroking your sweet cheeks the day I met you and gazed upon you napping. Praying for your grieving family.
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry for your loss. Prayers going up for your family.
ReplyDeleteI am so incredibly sorry for the loss of your dear sweet little boy. Our beautiful Mary is holding him now tightly in her arms and introducing him to her divine son. I'm not quite understanding God's plan in all of this, but I am so thankful that Henry had the love of you and your family in this last 14 months. It was a complete life that he would never have had without you. Remember that a darling angel named Henry will be forever with your family.
ReplyDeletePrayers for you all. So so sorry.
ReplyDeleteWords fail me. I am just so sorry to hear about your sweet son, Henry. I will hold you and your family in my prayers. My heart breaks.
ReplyDeleteI don't know you but read your blog through Beth. From one Mommy to another, you have my prayers for strength through this most difficult time. You sound like an amazing woman and inspiration. May you find comfort in knowing that your son is now at peace and you will one day meet again.
ReplyDeletePraying for you.
ReplyDeleteLittle Saint Henry, pray for your family from Mary's warm embrace.
May GOD's strong arms surround you all...
ReplyDeleteHi. I don't know you and only found your blog through Krista (thank you Krista). From one parent to another, I am so very very sorry for your loss. You are all in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI am so, so sorry. I cannot imagine how badly you must be hurting right now. I am glad that he was able to know the love of family during his short life, and that someday you will be reunited with your sweet boy in Heaven. I will be thinking of your family and keeping you in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI just found out today about your family. My eyes sting with bitter tears for your profound loss. It takes someone strong to reach out to the weak and hold their hand, treasure their heart, and nurture their soul. I am so thankful this boy had you...that before he passed he was known and loved. May the grace of God comfort and heal you. We will certainly be praying for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI have no words, Carla, just tears... Praying hard for your family.
ReplyDeleteKatya (from RR group)
Praying for you and your family and rejoicing with Henry, hanging out with Jesus.
ReplyDeleteI've been crying on and off all afternoon. All I can say is I love you guys and I'm sorry.
ReplyDeletePraying for you Dear Friends that you are WRAPPED in the Arms of Jesus, as you sorrow and grieve your Precious Angel! God Bless You Dear Family for Reaching Out!
ReplyDelete=( ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteHenry is your angel now, but you were his angel all along. I am so sorry, Carla. He was such a sweet baby.
ReplyDeleteWe lost our little boy 4 years ago at this time and the words spoken by so many here are the words that carried us through:knowing our baby was spending Christmas with Jesus this year. We pray for you!
ReplyDeleteCarla and family, you are in my thoughts. Peace be with you.
ReplyDeleteI don't have sufficient words. I am so so so sorry and really just can't believe this. You and your family are in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteAmber (former Advocate for Alex)
You did good, Mama. You brought him home and you held his hand all the way until Jesus said, Let go, Carla, I'll take him from here. And quietly Henry let go of your hand to take hold of the hands that will never let him go. I don't doubt for a minute that little man is soaring, having the time of his life, taking all of Heaven in with those beautiful soulful eyes of his. Heaven got a whole lot happier today because of Henry, even if we here on earth long for him to still be with us. Love you, Henry. Love you too, sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteWe are crying with you here in Maryland and so, so sorry for your loss. Dear, sweet SAINT Henry, please intercede for the family who loves and misses you so much.
ReplyDeletePraying for you & your family. Thankful little Henry was able to come home and know the love of his family. Lifting you up in prayer.
ReplyDeleteCrying with you and praying for your family. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and what love you all gave to him and he return gave it back. There are no words for the pain so I send you all the prayers and love I can. God Bless you and your family as you find peace. XOOXO Katie
ReplyDeleteMay God be with you now As you face this time of grief May you know the comfort of the Lord In your darkest hour of need Know that Jesus cares for you When your soul is deeply pained No matter what you may go through, His love for you remains.

So this is about the fourth time I have started writing the comment. I am having trouble putting into words all that I am thinking and feeling. I am so saddened by the loss of your little man. Saddened that he will never be held by you on this earth again. That you will never kiss that sweet little face. Yet so happy that he had the brief time with a wonderful loving family. That he did not die alone and unloved in an orphanage. That he is now with our loving Father in heaven. That he will one day run into your arms and cover you with kisses. I, for one cannot wait until the day I meet your precious boy, and the other beautiful angels that have gone before him. I had a dear older gentleman who passed yesterday and I pray that my friend Ron is carrying Henry through those golden streets in wonder of their new home. God bless you. I am praying for you all.

ReplyDeleteI've been following your blog since you first committed to Henry on RR. I am so, so sorry. He is such a beautiful little boy, and such a blessing. Take care.
ReplyDeleteCrying and praying here too. I don't really know what else to say.
ReplyDeleteCarla, You were one of the first to congratulate me on our impending adoption of Gemma back in July. Immediately I felt your warmth and genuineness and counted you as a friend. I am so saddened to hear of Henry's passing and I take comfort in Jesus' love for children and know Henry is well tonight. "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Revelation 21:4
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. Please be assured of my prayers for you and your family. May Our Lady of Sorrows console you.
ReplyDeletePraying for you all and trusting that God is holding you all in the palm of his hands!
ReplyDeleteThat was beautiful, Carla. We are grieving with you and the rest of the family.
ReplyDeleteSending all of my love to you, my dear sister. Henry has changed everything. Rest in peace little one....

Just want you to know that as a friend of Connie Lindquist's, many of us have been praying for you and your family and will continue. So sorry for your loss but rejoicing that nothing we give to Jesus is ever truly lost, including your dear Henry. He lives in the arms of God and you will see him again. We can do so little, but please know you are in our hearts here in Minnesota.
ReplyDeleteBeth
Please know we are also praying for all of you. I will say an extra prayer and light a candle for your precious boy in the Catholic church in our little town, St. Henry's. God bless. Katrina

ReplyDeleteDear Carla, my heart aches for you and the loss of your beautiful baby boy. May the angels welcome Henry into paradise. Peace be with you, my friend.
ReplyDeleteLove, april in MN
You know he is with Him -- and His holy mother will mother your sweet man until you are there to do it again.
ReplyDelete"Well done, my good servant." You did what the Lord asked of you. Mission accomplished.
God bless you and your family during such a difficult time. Prayers from a sister in Christ in Canada.
i have no words... only hugs and holding you and your family in my heart and my prayers right now.
ReplyDeleteI was crying last night thinking about how your blog title "Bringing Henry Home" now meant bringing Henry to his ultimate home, heaven. Glad you see that connection too.
ReplyDeleteIt is so painful to be exiles here on earth this week.
Job well done, Carla. Please give your kids and your husband a special hug from the Benjamin clan. All our love and prayers from your friends in West Virginia.
just tears here and prayers for you all xxxx
ReplyDeleteOh no Carla, I am so sorry for your loss. I'm sure Mother Mary takes special care of the little ones who arrive in heaven. I am weeping for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteCarla and family, So so sorry for your loss. Praying for all of you to be comforted with God's grace.
ReplyDeleteSo hard to know Gods purpose in this. Henry has the love of his wonderful family and prayers from all over the world to speed him into paradise. Sweet Henry, please pray for us all and especially your dear family.
ReplyDeleteSo heartbroken for your family. Simply cannot believe your sweet Henry is in Heaven now.
ReplyDeleteEarlier yesterday when I prayed for him I had the vision of a phoenix rising, I took that to mean he would come through this stronger, healthier, I never thought it would mean he would pass away and go to be with the Lord.
I am so so sorry for your loss.
Hugs and prayers for your family.
I believe there are angels brought to each of us in forms we do not always know. I know for sure that there are some that have hearts that are gifts to many and I have been blessed to have felt yours and to have been a part of your love. Thanks for sharing and sacrificing so much to show love to one little soul that will always know what true love is. To all those other children in your family and to the parents much love. Continue to hold each other tightly in each others arms. You planted a seed and we shall all see it grow. Rest in peace little Henry. Sandra Lee Miller
ReplyDeleteNo words. You are an angel Carla. I held my baby boy all night.
ReplyDeletePrayers and peace and strength to your large loving family. Faith will see you through and hopefully carry & support you but don't be shy to scream & feel faint - it's time to be supported now. We have no doubt your support team can handle your fears and you will face them with loving kindness.
ReplyDeleteCarla. I send you so much love and prayers
ReplyDeleteOh Carla...my heart has been hurting for you and your family since yesterday! What a beautiful blog post...the same as all your post always encouraging even in the most discouraging of moments. You loved Henry so well...when no one else would love him..now to send him to the one who Loves Him, created him, and gave you the gift of being his mommy!! Praying for you and your family, thank you for sharing your journey with precious Henry who is running in Heaven this morning.
ReplyDeleteSo SO sorry Carla! I pray God's peace and comfort will be with you.
ReplyDeleteI came to your blog through Adeye. It's very evident by all the comments that you are so loved. Praying for you.
ReplyDeleteGod bless and keep and comfort you all.
ReplyDeleteDear Carla, in the last year you have been every day at the side of you sweet baby boy; every day you cared for him, supported him, loved him dearly. He was blessed to find in you his mommy and you were blessed to find in him your precious son. You will miss him but you know that he is now at home with Jesus in heaven. One day you will see him again and than it will be forever. God bless your family and give you comfort in these days of tears.
ReplyDeleteCarla,I'm so sorry. I have no words. I will pray for you.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very sorry for your loss. I will be keeping your family in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry. So sad for your family. Praying for healing and peace as you mourn your sweet boy.
ReplyDeleteI’m so sorry for your loss. Your words are beautiful. Touching. Thank you for sharing the pain and the bittersweetness of sending him on to Jesus’ loving arms.
ReplyDeleteSo many tears here for you all Carla. I am just speechless and shocked....Others seem to have found a way to find great and encouraging words and I hope you can take them all to heart. But all I have for you is a broken heart and the tears that won't stop. I am praying for every member of your family, please let me know if there is anything at all that we can do for you.
ReplyDeleteYou haven't left my thoughts for a minute. last night i had to go out around 8pm and the sky was so clear and stars were brighter than usual. I couldn't help but smile a bit thinking it was Henry.
ReplyDeletei keep thinking how God chose you. He knew you could do this special job. How he wanted Henry to have a family. You gave him so much in such a short time. more than he would ever have if he lived to be 100, but didn't have a family. You filled Henry, completely. He wanted for nothing. You did everything God wanted you to do for Henry.
many hugs and much love and prayers to you and your family
May the good Lord hold you all in his arms and carry you through this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that this sweet baby knew the love of mommy, and family, before going home to the arms of his Saviour, where joy and blessings abound. Praying for you through this time of sorrow, and mourning. May the Lord hold you in His arms and bring you peace and comfort.
ReplyDeleteToday I hugged my Ukrainian price and thought of Henry. So deeply sorry for you loss, but so thankful he knew the love of a family.
ReplyDeleteCarla, I'm so very sorry for the loss of your precious boy. I'm so thankful he had the love of a family in his last 14 months on earth, and thankful that Mother Mary has him wrapped in her arms in heaven, where you will see him again one day. My prayers are with you and your family, for God to grant you peace as you mourn your sweet Henry.
ReplyDeleteDid you ever think or know Henry would touch so many lives? He truly did! I can't explain it but the draw to him was magnetic. I am so sorry he is gone but rejoicing that he is pain free and doing all the things you blogged about:) You are a wonderful Mother and we are praying for you and your family that you will find peace and strength in each other and that God will sustain you.
ReplyDeleteWe've never met, but my thoughts and prayers are with you. God be with you 'til you meet again.
ReplyDeleteCarla and family. I was keeping up with Henry through Meg Stout and we have been praying. I am very sorry for your loss. I could see through pictures of your family, that Henry was very loved. I hope you can find some peace in knowing he is in heaven running around and playing with all the other little children. We will continue to pray for your family. May God continue to Bless you.

Godspeed Henry.. fly free. Bless you Carla (and family) for showing him what love was. :(
ReplyDeleteMay Mary hold Henry in her arms, and send comfort to your family as you mourn.
ReplyDeleteHeaven has such a beautiful and sweet angel...prayers for your family.
ReplyDeleteCarla, I'm so sorry to hear this news. Good things will continue to flow to other children in need as a result of Henry's short life and his impact on so many people. Peace and prayers to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteSue H. (a RR advocate)
My heart breaks for you and your family. Henry touched more lives in just a few years than most people do in a lifetime. I just know he is sitting on Jesus' knee right now, telling him all about the wonderful family whose love rescued him from a cold lonely orphanage. Prayers for healing for you all.
ReplyDeleteCarla, so much love for you, your family, and precious Henry. There are no words to express the tremendous sadness I felt upon hearing of Henry's transition. You are an amazing mother. I am keeping you and your family in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteI have been following your blog for awhile. The words "I am sorry for your loss" just don't seem to be enough. Thank you for sharing your life with Henry with u. Prayers for you and your family as you heal.

ReplyDeleteI weep and pray for you. Bless you!
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness. I was praying for his infection to heal...I am so sorry for your loss. I remember when he was listed on RR, and I thought he was so cute and that somebody needed to go get him. I am so sorry to hear that Henry has passed away. Thank you for sharing his life with us.
ReplyDeleteHenry, and your family's love for him, have inspired so many, myself included. May Our Lady comfort you.
ReplyDeleteThe tears just keep flowing today for you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I wish I could muster better words. I pray for Love to hold you tight in this time as Love Himself is holding Henry now.
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for you and your family. I am so very sorry.
ReplyDeleteHenry had the luxury of the love of your family. This was his heart's desire. Even when he was prayed for, in the group, The Holy Spirit let us know that he was very precious to Jesus and you are also. Have peace in knowing that you gave him the desire of his heart to be loved and to have a family. HIs legacy of joy in suffering will live on in many hearts.
ReplyDeleteMy heart is broken for an angel that I've been blessed to meet in photos. Henry easily won the hearts of so many and I pray for the Lord to hold you and your family in comforting embrace. It is clear that Henry knew your unconditional love and will continue to be blessed with it in Heaven.
ReplyDeleteMy heart truly hurts for your family, Henry was such a joy to watch and "get to know" him from your blog. I am so sorry for your loss and I will be praying for your family.
ReplyDeleteMy heart aches with yours today. So sorry for your loss of sweet Henry. Hugs, Love and prayers for your family!
ReplyDeleteMy heart aches for you. Many prayers for your beautiful family.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that Henry could not stay with you. I know that the promise of seeing him again in heaven brings a measure of comfort, but nothing will erase the pain of him not being in your arms anymore. My heart hurts for your loss.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry honey. I feel so lucky to have gotten to watch him grow and thrive!
ReplyDeleteI AM SO VERY SORRY....MY PRAYERS, AND MY HEART TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY..GOD BE WITH YOU...AND THANK YOU FOR SHARING HENRY WITH US ALL..GOD BLESS YOU...

Henry is walking upright, running with the other baby angels, no more hurting, no more twisted legs or spine looking down on you saying "Thank you Momma for loving me".
ReplyDeleteCarla, your journey has been long and at times difficult and all in the name of love. Your dedication and love to Henry is an inspiration to everyone who knows you and loves you.
Our prayers and sympathy goes out to you! Jesus said "what you do to the least of these you do unto me", exactly what you have done.
Prayers, blessings and love

My heart continues to break for you, but I know the angels are singing in jubilation to have Henry join the party - and I'm sure that little boy's smile is now permanent :)
ReplyDeleteI'm very sorry for you.
ReplyDeleteWe love you all so much.
ReplyDeleteI'm so very saddened by your loss. He was fortunate to have know what love is. You guys are saints walking the earth.
ReplyDeleteCarla and family, i cann't even express how sad I am of the passing of Henry. We lost our son a little over 2 yrs ago now, and I pray that Levi welcomed him with open arms. Your family is and will be in our hearts and prayers. God Bless!!!
ReplyDeleteCarla I feel so heartbroken for you. I have been following since I saw Henry on RR and was so happy that he had come home to such a loving family. I am so sad that you are now without him, but at the same time happy that he got to spend his last 14 months with such a loving mommy.
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry, but am so glad that precious little Henry became yours and shared so much love as your dearly beloved son. That love is the one thing which transcends our earthly life: it is immortal, and I hope knowing that Henry still loves you just as you love him, and that our human love is only a tiny reflection of the love of God for us will bring you some comfort during this time.
ReplyDeleteYou and your family will be in my prayers.
Thinking of you, and sweet little Henry...

I'm so sorry for your family. It sounds like Henry was a beautiful soul, and very loved.
ReplyDeleteOur very deepest sympathies to you and your family. When I saw the news this morning, I just couldn't believe it and broke down. (We've been following your story for some time) and oh how my heart breaks for you. But God is good and has your Henry with Him and His Mother. Thank you for your love for Henry and for sharing. I've been touched and inspired beyond words as I can see so many have. Our prayers for you.
ReplyDeleteYou are all in my prayers. You gave sweet Henry the love God wanted you to give him, the love he deserved to have. He is forever yours. Even now. And you are his.
ReplyDeleteMay Mother Mary wrap her mantle around all of you, and Jesus pour His graces upon you.
I'm so sorry for your loss, Carla. Both you and Henry were such a beautiful example to me. Following your story has inspired me to be a better mother. Henry sure accomplished a lot in a short time! Keeping you and your family close in prayer and sacrifice this Advent season. Xoxo
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry for your loss. He was blessed by a beautiful family and was graced to know what earthly love was before he went to Heaven. May God heal your breaking heart.

Dear Carla,
ReplyDeleteI Really don't know what to say, I have to tell you though, that I get comfort every time I remember your words about Henry:
"maybe you will be running with a straight back and strong legs, playing ball as the left-handed pitcher you were meant to be"
No more pain for lovely Henry.
Love,Asma
Sending you love, prayers and the biggest e-hug possible.

I am so sorry to hear this. I've been following your blog since you brought Henry home. May God bless you, and the Sorrowful Mother keep you. I'll offer my Mass intention tomorrow for your family.
ReplyDeleteI found your blog through Jen's conversion diary. So sorry for your loss but glad he had your family and love while he was here. Will be praying for your family to feel God's comfort and peace.
ReplyDeleteSuch an amazing exchange of love. You guys really get it. So sorry for your loss and so happy for his gain. Can't help but think of this song.
