A Forever Friend

When we first moved to Oregon, Noah was pretty much my only friend. We hardly knew anyone here so Noah and I did a lot of stuff together, just the two of us. We explored a lot: beach, cheese factory, children's museum, the mall, Target, parks, etc. We even discovered our church one day just driving around. We were the best of friends. Other than the fact that he is my son, I think that time of our lives enabled us to have a close bond.



Noah loved his daddy so much. They always had a good time together, no matter what they did.


This was before our date together to see The Lion King on Broadway. 

I loved doing fun activities with him. Baking was one of my favorites. 

May 14, 2010. Theo was born. We became a family of 4. 

Haha. I love how he could just be silly at the drop of a hat. So much joy in his heart. 

Playing Legos together, a favorite activity. 


They were instant best friends.
Well, an older brother has the right to torture little brother once in a while, right?




Home Depot projects, another favorite activity. 

My boys. 


Theo wouldn't go down this slide unless big brother went with him at first. 


Trip to the zoo with some friends. Noah always loved playing with the little kids. 

Having fun with friends. 
What a silly face. He had fun playing with Dylan.
Riding the motorcycle at the amusement park with Lauren.

He LOVED having his friends over for parties. He would always ask if we could have a party and he would try to help me plan it.




I'm sorry if I left anyone out on this post. I couldn't get through more photos because I couldn't hold back the tears. 


Dear Noah, 

Hey pal. I'm so glad you were a friend to many. I know the parties and get-togethers won't be the same without you, but I'd like to think that you are with us in our hearts. It's comforting to know that you are at a great big party in Heaven. I hope that doing the things you loved to do will bring me joy. I love you so much, Noah. I'm really thankful that you are my son and that you are perfect in Heaven. I'm thankful that you are being taken care of by God. I really miss you. See you later alligator. 

Love you to the moon and back, 
Mom

Jenny,
All those pictures were adorable. Such cherished moments in time. When we moved here I too had a little buddy. Ollie and I went everywhere together, just the two of us. It is so hard having your buddy taken away forever. Im so sorry you cnat hug your little pal Noah. I pray for you to feel comfort and courage.
