Today should be Luke's second birthday. Happy Birthday my boy!Not in this world to see his face
Sounds long, until I read the place
Where this is said to be
But just the primer to a life
Unopened, rare, upon the shelf,
Clasped yet to him and me.

Oh Cheryl, he is beautiful. Little Luke. I miss him and don't even know him. Thank you for posting this sweet picture and perfect poem. Made me cry.
Sorry for the double comment. I wanted to tell you that I tried to read the poem out loud to Anth, but I couldn't do it. The line "Unopened, rare, upon the shelf..." is impossible to get through out loud. I never told you, but you were on my mind and in my prayers for weeks.
Cheryl Dear, I have been close to tears all week knowing that this date is approaching. Then when I read your blog and the ED poem, the "close" part was overcome with actual salt water. We all love Luke and You and Josh, too. Mom
What a sweet baby boy. Thank you for sharing that poem. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
Wow, Cheryl, he is absolutely beautiful. You certainly have something amazing to look forward to on the other side. You will be in my prayers.
Happy Birthday sweet Luke! We are thinking about you and your dear parents! We sure love all of you! BTW I don't think I've ever seen that picture...he looks so angelic (perfect for his middle name).
Cheryl I know today isn't easy but I beat having Jilly to snuggle with made it easier! Love ya
Last night my prayers were with you all. We have many things to look forward. Time, will not be the issue it is today. I love you, you Sunny Felt's.

Cheryl, my heart goes out to your entire family. I am so thankful for the blessings of our beliefs and I hope that it brings you some peace knowing he's waiting for you.
I absolutely love that sweet picture. I miscarried last year too. I often wonder what that sweet baby looked like. Someday I will. Take care and know he is waiting to see all of you someday.
Oh sweet Cheryl, my heart is so full thinking of your courage and enduring faith. He is just breath taking! What a sweet reunion you will have to look forward to with a perfect little angel. You are an amazing mom and I just love your little family! Love ya
Could there be any more perfect reason to want to be in the Celestial Kingdom? I think not! I am grateful for women like you who inspire women like me to be more "celestial". That makes me grateful for little Luke's life as well. Knowing you and Josh, he is one outstanding individual who is doing awesome and noble work where he is at. We sure love you guys!
Thank you for sharing Luke's birthday with all of us. I've been thinking a lot about you knowing this day was comming up. I'm amazed how quickly 2 years has gone by.
Oh, he is SO sweet! I'm so glad you shared him all with us! Happy birthday sweet baby!
Thank you for sharing your sweet boy and thoughts. You remind us to give our little ones an extra hug and be grateful for their little spirits.
Cheryl! - sorry for the late reply, but I wanted to say that I've been thinking about you. I'll never forget how much you were in my thoughts and prayers during that time. And I'll always remember the beautiful memorial service you had for little Luke. What an amazing boy - and mother - and entire family, actually! Love you!
