the rise and fall of his chest when he is sleeping.
his warm breath on my face as he leans in to tell me something "special".
his crinkle-nose smile that lights up a room.
his warm sweet nature that exudes compassion and mercy.
his tender prayer to his "dear Jesus" that was so genuine.
we knelt beside liam's bed last night, after reading our 3 books..we usually take turns with the bedtime routine but last night, it was all three of us...liam wanted daddy to start the prayer...then momma and then he would go last.
his words, his heart..man, that little man just melts me. he has a unique sense of "spirit" it seems. i don't know if it is because of what he has been through in the last year...he has been touched by loss at an early age, that has to change you but i think he was just born with this personality and way about him.
it came time for him to pray and he talked to Jesus like he was his best friend. after his sweet prayer, he leaned over and kissed his daddy and then me. then smiled this huge smile that seemed to cover our hearts like a balm, one that was much needed last evening. thank you, Lord, for showing us compassion and mercy through those sweet little blue eyes. we are more than blessed to have him a part of our lives...we are lucky to be his parents and i thank you for helping to use him to heal our hearts, one prayer and kiss at a time...

Liam's an "old soul". I can tell that about him by the stories you tell.
I think God is soothing your battered hearts through the soft touch of your son - I am so proud of you for having the insight to be able to see that.
sweet boy. i loves me some liam.
Tender, sweet, pure genuine love. "Liam Love". So much more "Liam Love" you're gonna get. Liam....you are a reader of souls.. little man. I have to say..Love me some Liam too!! I am continually lifting you all up to our God. Our Comforter. Miss you more than words will ever convey... the stretch of distance seeming like a million miles....but my heart always right there with you. A pure promise. Love always...
