One year ago, this one face, made us three.

And made me a Momma.

His Momma.

It has been a bigger responsibility than I ever could have imagined, little man.

And I wouldn't change a single thing about who you are.

Happy Birthday Joel James!
*For every comment on this post I will donate $1 to Friends of Maddie up to $100 as Joel's birthday present. Please chime in, I'd love an excuse to max this donation and for the heavens to roar with birthday wishes for a baby boy so dearly loved and missed.*

Dearest Joel, happy birthday. Your Momma and Daddy and grandparents and aunts and uncles and all their friends love you more than they can even say.
Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you, you look like a monkey, and you smell like one too! (ok, you smell like baby powder and beauty, but you still look like a monkey. Especially your feet.)

There is nothing more wonderful than honoring others through the memory of those we miss so much.
I cannot imagine how hard and wonderful today is for you. But as a gift, to you, your brave husband and sweet Joel, when you reach 100 comments, I will match your gift to Friends of Maddie another $50.
I hope others will join me.

Oh sweet Joel. Happy birthday buddy. I can only imagine the amazing day you are having. I hope you boys are living it up today and getting in all sorts of trouble. Your momma and dadda miss you terribly and we're all so happy they share you with us.
Love you, and your family.

Happy Birthday, darling Joel. I know you and the Peppers are having quite the party right now. Have some cake and ice cream, and talk those youngins into turning around, will you? Promise them a ride on Tink. That'll totally convince them. And keep on hugging your Mama - she can feel it, and it makes her so happy and proud.

As I celebrate my Rainbow Baby's 6th birthday today, my heart is remembering your Angel Baby and is breaking for you.
I love you Sara Joy. I wish you didn't know this pain, this anguish of having birthday parties without a child there to celebrate.
I am praying for peace to your heart, mind and soul this day.
Love, love, love you.

Happy birthday Joel! You're such a special angel to your mama and daddy and the peppers and lots and lots of other people...but I bet you already knew that.
Love to you all: Sara, Leo, Joel, and the Peppers (and Jax).

I so badly want to reach in and kiss his cheeks and hug his sweet, beautiful Momma. Joel is so amazing and even though he's not here on earth, in your arms, his presence exists in so many of us EVERY SINGLE DAY.
His life, although short, is so big and beautiful and impacts the world more than you will ever know.
Joel knew nothing but love, warmth and joy and that's all thanks to you. He felt more love in his short time on earth than so many feel in a lifetime.
I'm so proud of him, I love him so much. And you...YOU are a rockstar, you are courage and inspiration and you will always be Joel's Mom. Forever and ever.
Every tear that falls from your eyes today and always, are a sign of strength and love. Never be afraid to let them fall.

Happy Birthday Joel! You brought so much love into this world with you and you left it here when you returned to the hands of God. Angels do that a lot.
