4 YEARS AND 9 MONTH AGO.....YOU MADE ME MOMMY FOR THE 4TH TIME
It gave me the best joy ever, to house you in my womb....you had the hick-ups all of the time
It made me giggle.....you were and are mommy's delight
We were so grateful when you finally joined us in person (outside of my belly) and we could kiss and cradle you in our arms
So that is exactly what we served
You picked out your own ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins....You could have any cake that you wanted.....you chose the BLUE cake
You have been bringing joy to our home going on 4 years now
You NEVER stop smiling.....and we cannot help but smile with you.....you have always brought and still DO bring so much joy to our family each and every day
Right before you blew out your candles....Madison said that you needed to make a birthday wish....
You wished for
"Jesus to please bring Gracie Ann back home"
As tears welled up in everyone's eyes around the table.....you so happily blew out your candles and ate a piece of your special ice cream cake, with a joyfilled smile
He is holding her so tightly and keeping her safe and one day you will get to see your little "Sweetie Pie" in Heaven as well.....what a glorious day that will be!
But
Unfortunately.....Gracie Ann is not coming back home.....She's already home!
I am so sorry my little guy
I love you Isaac

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ISAAC JAMES LUSTIG
Dearest Lord God...Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth, of all that is seen and unseen
Help Jeremy and I to raise all of our children....and today, specifically our little #4 Isaac, to honor and to serve You forever and forever!
We love Isaac so much and only want happiness for him forever. I know that a lifetime of happiness is not possible in this life of exile, but help us to give him the tools that he needs to stay close to You always, and to return to You on that most wonderful day, when Isaac will finally get to gaze upon Your most beautiful and merciful Face!
I love You so much, Dear Lord Jesus
love,
kerry ann
