In Honor of Noah's 5th Birthday. . .

It's hard to believe how quickly Noah's 5th birthday is approaching (July 13th). I know I've been suppressing my grief to a degree and am in denial that we are rapidly approaching another milestone without my son though I'm sure it is all going to crash in on me soon enough. It always does.

The cake I made for Noah's 1st Birthday


He's turning 5.

He should be starting homeschool Kindergarten this fall.

He would probably be writing his name by now.

I could've signed him up to finally play fall soccer.

And so much more, the list is endless.

In honor of Noah's birthday, I would love to remember YOUR child(ren) that have died. I want to write their names on a sky lantern that we will release the week of Noah's birthday (13th) and home-going (14th).


I will take a picture of each child's name as I write it and put it together in a video montage that I plan to later share here. All you have to do is go fill out their name on this form.

Secondly, I can't tell you how much it means to see Noah's name written out or have it spoken out loud! It truly is a priceless gift to all of us! I have a name album for Noah that we started several years ago that many have contributed photos to. I would love for you to take a minute and send us a photo of Noah's name that I can add to his album. You can directly post it on Treasuring Life's Blessings wall and I will put it in his album or message it to me through my page there. (you can also drop me a note here and I can give you an email address to send the photo to).

We covet your thoughts and prayers as we enter the upcoming time of reflection on Noah's brief but miraculous life, celebrating all that he is while mourning that he isn't in our arms.

Please feel free to share this post so I can remember as many babies as possible and thank you for participating!

  1. Thank you so much for taking the time to remember other sweet babies on your Noah's birthday.

    My daughter would also be turning five this year. The list of milestones for this year *is* endless. I'm so sorry for your loss -- the loss of today as well as yesterday, and all of the days to come.

    Happy birthday, precious Noah. Hugs, precious momma. <3

  3. This is AWESOME! Our baby would be 14 at the end of the month. I will fill out the form! My hubby is doing the funeral of a stillborn baby on Saturday. I must find a way to share this idea with her. I know what a tough road she has ahead. Thank you SO much!

    1. I'm so sorry you lost your precious baby 14yrs ago Trena, I can't even fathom that long yet.

Feel free to share my blog with her and if I can in anyway help, even just to email with her, I am here however I can be. Thanks for sharing & participating!! <3
