Please pray for those of us missing him here.

Dear sister in Christ, I just found your blog through Leila at Catholic Bubble. and I'm reading your beautiful story of Henry and his extraordinary life and love! God be with you and your family during this time which must be so very difficult for you all. Henry is basking in the perpetual light of our Lord Jesus I am sure and his joy will increase when he sees you again!
ReplyDeleteI am so so sorry mama *tender hugs* May God surround you with His arms, and hold you tightly during this time. Henry will always be with you, the bonds of love are never broken. xoxo
ReplyDeletePraying for you all! I wish I coudl take just a bit of your pain away. I have thought of you all day and will continue to pray!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you all Carla.
ReplyDeleteHenry has been on my mind so much I've called both of my kids by his name (more than once). We need his intercession down here. I know he is praying for his family as you mourn. I found myself inadvertently holding my breath as I gazed at the above photo. It's so beautiful. You both are such beautiful souls.
ReplyDeleteWill definitely pray for you all.
ReplyDeleteHello, We have never met in real life, but we are both members of AP Chicago South on facebook (we've probably commented on the same posts before!) and I came to your blog today because I have been following all of the updates on the AP page from your friends. I just finished reading the entire thing and I just wanted to, first, offer my sincere condolences on your family's loss. I was falling in love with Henry through each posting, so I do not doubt your love at first sight feelings! Secondly, I admire you and your family's strength, faith, love, tenacity, patience and I am just in awe of your journey with Henry. I am praying for you and your family's peace and healing as you mourn your baby boy.

I learned of Henry's passing to God through Julia's blog. How blessed he was to have had God him your beautiful family for his last year on this earth. How blessed you were for God to have given him to you. The pain must be confusing and endless.
ReplyDeleteI, too, pray that Mother Mary is holding him in her arms tonight and for eternity.
I will pray for your family and when the time is right, down the line, pray that you let the helping angels on this earth (ministers, priests, spiritual directors and grief therapists) help you navigate through the grief.
Love and prayers your way...Jane in Oregon
I just want you to know that I named my baby Henry, after finding your blog. At first I didn't like the name, but after seeing your boy and reading along with your blog, I thought, "He wears the name well!"
ReplyDeleteFunny how you can hurt so much for a child you've never met...I've been crying off and on all day, feeling a sadness in my heart for you and your family. Please know I'm thinking and praying for you almost constantly...tears keep coming.

ReplyDeleteI have been thinking of you and crying for your family all day. I started reading your blog shortly before you brought Henry here. I was captivated by his sad little face right away. I have followed his journey to better health and joy in finding a family. He was loved so much, you could just see the love between you and him in every photo. Henry touched my heart in a special way because I too have a little Henry with blonde hair who is two years old. I wish I could bring him to you today so he could give you one of his special hugs. Every time I said his name today I thought of you and your little Henry, and my heart broke for you. I don't live close enough to do anything for you but pray. I wanted to do something tangible, though, so I donated to the fund of another small Henry in China through RR, in your son's memory.
ReplyDeletePrayers for you and your family. God bless y'all.
ReplyDeleteI found you through Lora (My Camo Kids ) and want you to know that my momma heart offers you all the prayers and love I have. My daughter was never that sick, but there were many nights I held her, praying that I would know what to do, when to do it, and to help all of us find peace.
ReplyDeleteI truly say, but for the grace of God go I. Why I have a happy, stubborn beautiful 3 year-old, and you will not, I don't know. Certainly it is not because of anything I have done of could ever do. You are so much more than I am, you are an example of what happens when the light of Christ takes over our lives.
To all of your caring, kind, loving family, I hurt with you and for you. Until the next time you hold him in your arms, treasure each memory, even when it hurts. The pain is deep because your love is deep. You deserve to be eternally united with this most precious son. I have faith that you will hold him again and comfort each other as you celebrate the dropping away of the years of separation and instead only feel an even deeper love.
Praying for you and your family!
ReplyDeleteI am so very sorry that you no longer have Henry here on Earth. He was a bright light and will be remembered.
ReplyDeletePraying for you, Carla... Have been thinking of you constantly for the last two days... Lord Jesus, please help this family!

Little Henry's soul is being prayed for today at my beloved church, the Notre Dame de Paris. He was clearly so loved.
ReplyDeleteI am so incredibly sad for your loss. I only just found your blog yesterday, but wanted to let you know that after reading through the whole thing (yes, start to finish) I know in my heart that I am meant to adopt, and that my heart has been opened to the possibility of adopting a child (children) with special needs, all because of Henry. And in an interesting twist of "something" (I dont really know what to call it), my youngest's middle name is Henry (It was my grandfathers middle name as well). Very fitting, (even though I only learned of this blog because of your Henry's passing) Your Henry has shown me what my path in life should include. Sending you and your family all my love.
ReplyDeleteGod Bless You. Henry is a beautiful soul who has touched me deeply throughout the past year that I read your blog. You are a shining star of a mother--and I have found myself thinking of your strength as I find my own path of motherhood.
ReplyDeleteyour Henry has been inspirational to me, as have you and your whole family.
ReplyDeleteHenry is so blessed to have such a wonderful family to shower him with such love and show him G-d's love for all.
You and your family will be in my prayers. Henry will be missed on Earth though he lives in heaven and in our hearts.
The hole is so big, our hearts are so heavy ;;;we are here for you and with you every step of the way. Where will this journey take us? Jesus please walk with us and let us feel your presence in this cloud of unknowing. Help us make sense of all of this and give meaning to our circumstances and sorrow. We give it all to you Lord. Paula
