Rodney's Birthday--December 3, 2004
Today is a special day for me and my family. Today I get to remember the birth of my fourth child, Rodney Coy Moore. I will never forget holding him and singing to him. The nurses allowed me only an hour of time with him before they took him away, but I will always cherish that hour. I want to thank my dear friends and family members who supported me and my family during that time--4 years ago. I truly believe that I will get to be united with my son some day in heaven. I have that goal in my mind, and I have my sights set. I'm always in a mind-set of purifying myself and fixing my weaknesses so that I may be worthy of being with him when the time comes. Heaven knows I've got a long way to go---but it will be oh, so worth it. I can't imagine how devastating child-loss would be without the knowledge of the life beyond this one. I'm so grateful for the gospel. It brings me such peace.

Julie, you are an amazing woman and I've admired and respected you from the first day we met. I think you are a "mother who knows." It's hard to think of the burdens the early members of the church had to bear, especially when I think of the many loved ones that were lost along the way. You truly would need a strong testimony of the gospel to endure any of it. Our life experiences are different but in some ways the same, both requiring the constant nourishment we gain from God and His gifts to us in all their forms. Thanks for sharing your testimony with me with what you've written here and by your example.
Love you Jewles, you are an amazing mom!!
What an awesome way to look at it! I love you girly! You are amazing!
