The post I wrote about Andrew didn’t go through this morning. It only posted the title I wrote…..
As most of you know, we took this trip to Disney to celebrate the short life of my sweet son who I lost in October at just 19 weeks gestation. And I am so glad that we did.
Look at what was waiting on us in the sky this morning. I firmly believe it was a sign from Heaven that everything is alright. That he is here with us in spirit and that we can let loose and enjoy ourselves.
Welcome to Disney my sweet angel baby.
Heather says
What a wonderful from Andrew that he is safe & happy. I love to hear stories like this.
I lost twins last October at 11 weeks. Then another in march at 9 weeks. I was too early along to know whether they are boys or girls…probably for the best. They do things all the time that let me know they are together. I swear they play jokes on me, hide things, etc.
We have 2 wonderful boys, age 3 1/2 yo & 2 yo. I never complain, just long for the ones we lost.
Thanks for sharing. It’s very helpful to me.

OMG!!! Right around the time when you got back from Disney, I had made a comment on one of your post about us seeing a rainbow each time we went to Disney. I just now saw this post (I don’t know how I missed it before) and it brung tears to my eyes and goosebumps all over. I won’t go into my story again but I just wanted to say God is so good!
Linds says
You and your family are having a fantastic time as that sweet baby looks down on you. Im sure he’s there with you in spirit as he will always be.
Valerie says
That brought tears to my eyes. I hope you and your family have a wonderful time.
Lisa says
Such an awesome promise and confirmation you received! Prayers for continued blessings!
Jess D. says
Beautiful. Breathtaking. Amazing. Glory to God. What a wonderful start to your day!
Sunnie says
I think if you thought this rainbow was from your son, then it was. I think they tell you, how it comes in your head, their name. What a pretty site he left his mommy!
Melody says
Wow is all I can say.
Sarina Jackson says
I am sorry for your loss. I would definately take that rainbow as a sign :)
Rachel says
If you get a chance, could you repost the earlier post that got deleted? I would love to read it.
Christina Scalzo says
This was really amazing! I am in tears….you are such an inspiration to me Kristen.
Kathie M says
God’s Promise!
Gina says
What a wonderful blessing from the Lord! I pray you will find healing and peace on this trip. What a wonderful way to start!
Lori says
I can see an angel baby in the clouds as well. And as someone else said it looks like an ultrasound picture but I see the wings as another reader said also. It must be your Andrew. Amazing. I got chills. Enjoy your trip!!
Melissa Jon says
Absolutely beautiful!!!
Jeananne says
Your angel is with you! <3
Diana says
Goosebumps!!! I can actually see a baby’s face in the clouds. It looks like an ultrasound picture.
april says
What a beautiful sign from up above. God Bless.
Trish says
I am so absolutely touched and could not believe me eyes when I saw your picture. I had just tucked my children into bed and I said a prayer with them asking God for something I have never asked for before but that I felt like we (I) needed; I prayed for him to help us see him as it is so hard for young children to have faith in something they can’t see. I really just mean for him to give us evidence of his existence in such trying times. Just minutes later, I’m on the internet and went to your site. And what did I see??? I was so excited I went and showed it to my daughter. She saw the faces also. What a blessing God has given you to comfort and assure you and as a result of your blog, all of us. You are in my prayers and have a ‘heavenly’ trip!

Allison says

Sarah says
That just gave me the chills! Have a fabulous time in Disney!
April Fitzsimmons says
I lost two children. We lost our daughter Makenna Hope at 36 weeks, she survived for 2 wonderful days. We lost Julia at 16 weeks. I can’t tell you how wonderful it feels when we got those little symbols from above from our little angels. What a beautiful start to your trip!
Sarina Jackson says
My friend who works at Studios posted about this same rainbow on her facebook today! Beautiful!
Michelle says
What a beautiful pic, definitely a sign!
Dana says
This post and the post about your generous reader are true examples of God’s love. What wonderful uplifting stories!

Wow I just got chills reading that! It is so beautiful. I hope you have a wonderful time.
Talia says
That is truly amazing!
Chris says
How sweet!! I too believe this is a sign for you. The rainbow is beautiful, but I think the baby face in the upper right corner is also there for you. Enjoy your trip and enjoy that nice warm feeling you get when thinking of your sweet Andrew there!!
Gina says
How gorgeous! I’m so sorry for your loss and hope you enjoy this wonderful time.
Jenny says
What a beautiful blessing! Soo soo happy for you all!
Jenn says
What a beautiful sight. It is amazing how God can show you he is there. I am so sorry for your loss and what a wonderful celebration of his life for you and your family to do.
sharon l says

This brought tears to my eyes! Thank you for sharing this experience with us. I understand how difficult it must be. Lots of hugs!
Kelly says
Wow. God can really make something beautiful out of a unfortunate event. So happy you and your family have this trip to heal and move forward together. This post as well as the one abt Fort Wilderness are so upllifting! Thanks so much for sharing! Hope this is the best trip ever and I can’t wait until the day I can share Disney memories with my daughter!
Christina says
No words, just tears. Beautiful! Just beautiful. ((((()))))
But this did remind me of a picture I have from our daughters birthday (she was stillborn too) and it looks like there is a little golden angel in the clouds.
Olivia says
What an image to carry in your heart (like Mary contemplating her Holy Child) when you think of your babe!
Olivia says
That is incredibly beautiful!
Carrie G. says
I completely believe that rainbows are signs from loved ones above. Before my grandmother passed, I had been unable to see her and I had tried to call but the nurses were unable to connect me to her room. My father called shortly thereafter to let me know she was gone. I struggled to keep it together as I was at my new boyfriend (now husband’s) house and did not want his whole family to have to deal with my loss. I went onto his roof in Queens and low and behold – the most beautiful rainbow I had ever seen stretched out clear from Long Island all the way over NYC! It was quite amazing, since I had never seen a rainbow in all my time working in Manhattan and I knew it was a sign from my grandmother that she was okay.
I am truly glad that you received the same sign from Andrew this morning and that you can lighten your burden some and enjoy your time in Disney thinking of him fondly.
Beth says
Wow. that’s all I can say. God is Good, ALL THE TIME! All the time, GOD IS GOOD!!
blessings to you and yours. have a blast!
Lisa says
That is great. Saw a similar sign when I was extremely overwhelmed with my son’s Aspergers Syndrome one week. We have ups & downs, of course. I sat in my car crying asking for a sign that I could handle what was going on and got out and saw a double rainbow right over our shopping center in Birmingham. God is SO good!
maria durfee says
tears have filled my eyes from the start of your blog this afternoon to this beautiful Andrew post with the beautiful rainbow! God Bless You and Your beautful family!!
Jennifer says
Wow, I needed to read this today. We lost our second child just a week before Christmas and it has been so tough. We go tomorrow to find out if I need a D and C or not. I have been in labor pains all day and it has made me so emotional. Please be sure and say a prayer for us as we face a tough day tomorrow.
Kristin from Couponing to Disney says
Jennifer – Know that there is a girl at Disney who is thinking and praying for you all day tomorrow. Please feel free to email me. The quote that gave me the most comfort when I lost Andrew was “I always thought that I would be the one waiting at the gates of Heaven to introduce my children to Christ, but instead God chose my son to be the one to introduce me to His Son.”
(((hugs)))
Jennifer says
Thank you so much for the prayers. That saying brought tears to my eyes. The way I look at it, God gave me the opportunity to be a mother to a precious child for a short amount of time. Even if I didn’t get to hold him in my arms, I did get to carry him.
Tracy says
what a tear jerker! I love it though! Those moments are the best.
Denise-Scrapmouse says
What a beautiful sign from your little Andrew and God. Have fun and maybe you could buy a Mickey balloon and release it up to the skies for Andrew. :)
Amanda Johnston says
Oh, how beautiful!
adrienne says
That is the best sign I have ever seen!
Melinda says
God always knows what we need. Let that be your sign that everything will be okay and that your healing can begin. God Bless you and your family!!
Jodi says
Wow! You just brought tears to my eyes. I 100% believe in signs like the one you received.
Mary says
The rainbow is a sign!!! My cousin passed away almost two years ago and my parents both 4 years…on my ride to my cousins funeral I asked if I could see some sort of sign that my parents and my cousin where together again along with her father (my uncle)….up in the sky appeared a double rainbow. Thats all I needed to see…(Our families are very close)
Thanks so much for sharing the wonderful pic…it made me smile and cry at the same time.
Carrie says
Simply beautiful! A sign from above! This past October was the anniversary of both my father and uncles death. They passed away on the same day eight years apart. My son and I opened the blinds in the morning and awoke to a amazing double rainbow! A true sign that they are watching down on my family everyday. The same way your angel baby does. Bless u and your family!!
Thrisha says
That is truly beautiful and magical. Andrew is definitely there with you.

Sooo beautiful :)
Tammy says
I am so sorry for your loss, and I do not say this to upset you but as I was looking at the picture above the rainbow and over to the right I see a baby’s face. I just thought that it would make you feel better to know that it is there looking down upon you. It is such a beautiful and peaceful picture.
Sarah says
I see it too!! I lost my sweet baby Matthew 4 1/2 years ago. Signs like that dont come all the time. It’s so good to notice and enjoy them when they do. Have a wonderful time celebrating the short time you had with him, knowing he’s with you and doing well.
Dina says
Wonderful! Andrew is sending you a smile.
Melody says
Beautiful rainbow. I also took a picture of a rainbow this morning. Our family also believes that rainbows are a sign from heaven. I’m sure Andrew is watching over your whole family.
Britni says
A rainbow is a reminder of God’s love, your baby boy is watching you from heaven! I know it seems unfair that you didn’t get to have him with you but someday you will spend eternity with your precious boy and all of your family!
jessica roy says
