The scene is serene and uplifting, capturing the beauty of their bond and the peacefulness of nature.
Meet Brooks Preston, Born Feb 15th 2021. He turns 3 this year! 🤍🦋
Melissa Johnson won our custom portrait drawing for February! We are so grateful she was willing to share Brooks with us. 🙏
Her first question, "... I was wondering if this is even possible given the fact my sweet Brooks was only with us this side of heaven for 20 days. Every picture I have of him is as a newborn in the NICU."
It takes vulnerability and strength to share your angel baby, it's painful too... thank you again for your courage! 😔🩵
Melissa continued with how she imagined Him today, "... I think he would have dark brown hair like his living brother~ Liam. ... I imagine Brooks would have a hazel color, similar to Liam’s eye color. For skin color, Brooks had more my olive skin tone and more so my facial features. If I sent you a baby picture of Brooks and one of me, it’s such a beautiful resemblance💕
The feeling? Gosh so many but when I think of my Brooks, I just think even now at three years old he would have a personality similar to mine~ a sweet, tender-hearted, quiet, and sensitive soul"
- Can't you feel the connection she still has with her boy? Such a sweet mamma. 🥹🩵
We asked, "if he were with Jesus what would he be doing?"
".... on the day Brooks passed away in my arms, my husband and I went on a walk earlier that day and on the trail we were surrounded by so many butterflies. All different colors and the most we had ever seen at once.
... I visualize almost like Jesus having a butterfly on his finger and showing it to Brooks, while Jesus is on his knees to get to Brooks’ height. I see the background being the most beautiful and colorful flowers... with butterflies everywhere. I see them interacting with the butterflies and a soft smile on Brooks’ face."
We pray this piece reflects at least a glimmer of the light that shines in this mamma's heart. He is SO deeply loved. Please follow her for more of this light ✨🤍
