I do not know what to say dear friend. You have been a faithful encourager to me, even during the hard times. I can only say to you, that I pray everytime I am prompted to pray. You are and will continue to be in and on my heart friend. My heart aches for you. We love you.

Marsha,

This is such a beautiful tribute to your sweet baby boy. I'm at such a loss for words. I can simply say that I have prayed for you and your family countless times over the past week and will not stop praying for you.

I know God will hold you tight and remind you often of His love, care and comfort.

Thank you for sharing that beautiful montage of Christian's short life here on earth. What a glorious reunion you will have with him in the sky! I have prayed for you, sweet friend, as the Holy Spirit prompts me to pray. And tonight I prayed for you whole family at my church altar. I can only imagine the deep pain you have felt.

Thank you for sharing your son with us. I am continuing to lift your family up in prayer.

I lost my sister 5 years ago. She was 17 years old. So full of life, just like your Christian. I prayed that there would be change in people's lives because of knowing my sister. That my family would see their need for Jesus and call out to them as their Savior. I am still standing for that, her boyfriend however did accept Jesus as his Savior a few years ago.

Love in Christ,
Theresa

I have been praying for you every day. And the verse at the end of the video is the one which keeps coming to my mind. I'm so glad we have that promise to cling too.

I know you all must miss Christian terribly.

The pictures you shared are beautiful.

Continuing to pray for you,

Listening for his trumpet everyday . . . with my hearing, I hope it's LOUD. I'll miss Christian's growing up and will never forget I was one of the few who actually got him to fall asleep in my arms. He must have been really tired.

Love you,

Leslie

My heart hurts so much for you and I pray for you throughout each day...as I do simple tasks such as fold my little ones clothes or wash their face or watch them play, I remember to lift you and your dear family up to the One who knows your pain and loves you and dear little Christian so much.

...for sharing that with us. I am glad you have so many wonderful pictures and videos of your beautiful, sweet little boy, and that you wrote about him so many times. God knew you would need to remember those moments.

Please share pictures and stories of him as often as you need and want to. I probably speak for a lot of your readers when I say that we will never grow tired of seeing his sweet little face and hearing his cute little sayings.

My heart still aches for your family, and I pray for you often. I pray that you will laugh together today and begin to feel whole again.

Bethany

(PS- I didn't realize until now that Christian was born on my oldest daughter's birthday.)

Posted by jammiemom

Dear Marsha,
Thank you for the touching tribute to your son and for allowing us to feel and pray on a deeper level for you. I love 6:35. Like father; like son :)
May the emptiness you feel be filled with God's fullness

Ephesians 3:14-21 "For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."

Love,
Jen

My face is soaked with tears after that beautiful video... and I am angry... I'm so sorry, but I am... I'm so sorry that he's no longer here Marsha... I'm so very sorry.

I'm praying for your family daily. My heart is broken for you and I have never met you. However, I relate as a mom and sister in Christ. I delight in the news that you feel God's hand through this entire tragedy. His plans are certainly not our plans but He does have something amazing planned for your family and many others through this trying time. No matter how hard it gets, turn to Him. I'm sure those big brothers miss that little guy so much, I pray that through this their lives will be changed forever and they will await their reuniting on the streets paved in gold. I appreciate reading the updates and watching the video tribute. I must say, I cried as if he were my own - my heart greives for you. I will continue to pray daily for your family and look forward to new updates when you guys are able.

In Him, Heather Smith

Ok, I kept it together until that last picture! A picture certainly speaks a thousand words!

Christian was such a beautiful sweet boy. And quite the little character! I know his absence has left a huge hole in your hearts. I lost my mother when I was 15, but I can't quite imagine the pain of losing a child. You and your family continue to be in my prayers. May God fill your home with the peace that only He can give.

Thank you for sharing the pictures and video of Dozer. Such a sweet tribute. Hold on to the promise of those verses!

HI Masha, I commented a few days ago that I've been praying for you, that my almost three year old son moved to Heaven in 2006 (tuckersalisbury.com), and this am I awoke early and your blog was up on my computer somehow. I plugged around...
My hubby just came out wondering what I was watching with HOMESICK playing in the back ground ... it was your slideshow. Did I tell you I have one very similar? The more I watched, the more I felt like I was watching flashbacks of my journey... grief, passion for Jesus, being held in His hands, three boys, trips to Niagra Falls, SAME OUTFITS!, etc. Then a previous post I noted Winter Promise AS... yeah we do that too! Math.U.See ... yeah that too. My heart seems to be knitting to yours and we're strangers... but sister's in Christ! Our babies worshipping the Saviour together. I will be praying for you. Love in Jesus.... darci (darci@vingster.com)
