The most precious book of all.

I guess, like us, you have the discussion about if there was a fire what would you try to save.
Well of course, all the children.
A very close second would be Joshua's box.
It is a beautiful box. But it is not the box I want it is the things inside, that are irreplaceable, because they are all I have , and always will have of my son, my 8th child.
One of the things in the box is his book.
Making his book of his life kept me sane in the long , dark months after he died.
It gave me something to focus on.
And now and amazing memory for which I am forever grateful.
The kids often take it out and look at it too.

It was made with love and tears, many, many tears. It is Joshua's Journey.

    Joshua's book is beautiful, I don't mind telling you that this post just made me cry. I don't know how you get through the day or find the strength to do so much for other people xxx

    I must say, I KNOW I would enter a building for my sweet Joshuas Box.. It saddens me, that I don't have many pictures during my pregnancy with him.. I was put on bed rest so early, that we didn't get around to it... funny how we forget that tomorrow isn't promised. I know your grief is hard, but I am thankful for your loss, for what it has inspired you & others to do <3
