It was all very dark, grief stricken and quiet.\u00a0So naturally my 5 year old, Jake fell asleep. <!--more-->I held him, all 40 lbs, in my arms. In the silent reflection time during the service, as I prayed to God, I felt God&#8217;s presence in Jake.\u00a0 As I stood holding him I began to feel his heart beat against my chest and recognized the unity, as he inhaled I was exhaling our bodies were breathing almost as one. We were mother and child again similar to when I carried him in my womb; I protected and provided solely for his being then. I was able to feel that precious connection once more. As I held him even more tightly in my arms I forgot we were in a Church and it was just he and I in that moment, sharing our hearts as one. We were then asked to sit down for a reading and he began to stir and the moment was gone.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0In those few minutes the presence of God was so awesome that all I could feel was love and unity between a mother and her son.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our hearts beat as one&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":2744,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[22,135,532],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2745"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2745"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2745\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2744"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2745"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2745"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/faithfilledmom.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2745"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
