Thank You!
We wanted to thank everyone for all of their love and support! Cole was such an amazing person, and we are blessed to be his parents. It means so much to us that so many people posted their love and support. I truly feel that is why we have been able to have an eternal perspective on everything and have kept our heads up.
To those of you who didn't have a chance to meet and hold Cole, I am sorry. He was the most beautiful baby ever. His tiny hands were constantly being poked from various IV's but he didn't complain a bit. He loved to keep his clubbed little feet tucked up by his bottom and would pull them back up if you tried to stretch them out. He kept his eyes shut the whole time the few days that he was here. I think he was tired from working so hard so live, but Nick and I and our parents had an amazing experience the last few hours that we spent with with him. Slowly he started to open one eye and then the other, like he was taking little peeks at us and seeing if we were there. We will forever treasure those sacred moments.
As a mother I long to hold him in my arms again. To those of you who have children, you know of their distint smell, and at times I smell him and tears come to my eyes. I have had my days where I ache to have him here with us, but try to keep in mind the eternal perspective. Although this has been the hardest thing that we have had to go through, Nick and I both feel blessed to have eachother, our families and the gospel. We know that everything happens for a reason and are grateful for the teachings which we have received through this. We thought that some of you might enjoy seeing some more pictures of Cole, so I have put them up in a slide show. I wish that we could personally thank each of you for your support. Please know that we appreciate each and everyone of you. We love you! Love Nick and Janessa
