Tough moment today
MommyToAshley wrote: There are always moments during the Holiday when I get sad because I miss Joshua. (Well, there are always moments, but the holidays are espeically rough) Today, I had one of those moments. I was at the grocery store while DH watched Ashley at home. All throughout the store, there were costumed characters walking around passing out goodies to the kids. I was walking past one of the characters when I heard a little girl start to cry. I turned and looked and it was a little girl about the same age as Ashley... she was scared of the snowman. Just as I had turned around, a little boy a few years older, grabbed her hand and said, "It's okay, I am here. I will protect you" It was obviously her older brother. That was the sweetest thing I have ever seen. But, I became so overwhelmed with emotion... the little boy was about the same age that Joshua would be now.  I'll be ok and get through the season, but there are times when it just helps to talk about these things. And, sometimes I don't feel like talking to family about it, kwim. Thanks for listening and being there.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I'm so sorry Dee Dee. I can't imagine your pain at times like this. It breaks my heart that you guys have to endure so much with the loss of a child. I wish there was more I could say or do. Just know I am always here for you. Joshua does protect Ashley and he always will. He can do the same job from heaven that he would have done here on earth. She is so blessed and so are you and Rodney. What a precious angel you have in heaven and on earth.

MomToMany replied: I am so sorry. I wish there was more I could do to help with your pain as well as Rodney's. Ashley will forever have a guardian angel in Joshua, and he will never let anything bad happen to her.

GavinsMommy replied: I hope I don't upset you by asking this but...I was curious as to what happened to your son.
Anyway, that was really sweet...the little boy saying that to the little girl. Kids can be so sweet and surprising sometimes.
I'm sorry you're going through this. I am sure he is watching over and protecting his baby sister. And mummy!!

MommyToAshley replied: Thank you again for your support.
I thought that writing down what happened and how I felt would make me feel better, and it did. But, I can't put into words what reading your responses meant to me. It's amazing that even though we have never met in person, you all are so incredible and such wonderful friends. Thank you for your love and support!

GavinsMommy replied: Wow, that's very sad...I'm sorry that you had to go through the loss of him, but like you said...you would do it all over again bc he's your little angel. I couldn't imagine losing Gavin. You are so strong...
He was a beautiful little baby and I'm sure an even more beautiful angel...
