I am a big JJ Heller fan. I like to sing "When I'm With You" to my girls and "The Boat Song" to my husband. So it is only fitting that we have a song by JJ Heller for sweet little Isaiah too.
At the end of his memorial service we played "Sunshine" and while the music played my beautiful 5 year old daughter, completely enamored with her tiny baby brother and with a perfect perspective of the wonders of heaven, danced through the whole song.
It was perfect.
While this song plays you can scroll through a few of our memorial pictures. These pictures were taken by two amazing photographers from Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep. What a beautiful organization, thank you for capturing this day for us.

This was engraved on Isaiah's white keepsake box that we have and also on the inside of the heart shaped box he was buried in.
This box was fitting for our butterfly baby, engraved on the outside was "expect miracles...they happen every day." It speaks well of the short and miraculous life Isaiah lived.

My girls
You'll see in the next few pictures that Amariss was quite the comforter. She loved and adored her little brother very much.
My parents
A prouder big sister, I have never met.
Aaron's mom holding Zemirah; our parents did a wonderful job keeping her occupied and taking turns holding her.
We read:
Isaiah 49:14-23
Isaiah 65:17-24
Isaiah 66:7-13
Our final goodbyes
Amariss loves to finish her dances with a big full Mommy hug
*Isaiah was buried near our Bleeding Heart plant. We found it fitting as it is in full bloom in early May. We were also gifted with a Japanese Maple from Aaron's mom and a Blue Hydrangea from my parents. In addition I received a wind chime from a wonderful group of friends and our once empty shade garden is now very full and has come to possess much meaning.*
Just beautiful. I have no other words... Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm still so sorry for your loss, Brie. I think of and pray for you all often. Thank you for sharing these pictures and your sweet song. Isaiah was obviously loved so much in his short little life. Love those beautiful girls <3
