What people are saying
While we are absolutely devastated that we were unable to bring our baby boy home, I am grateful to have loved him deeply, kept him safe, and had been his home for the past 9 months before he was called back to Heaven.
Though his time with us was brief, his life still precious, his purpose still meaningful, and he will forever be a part of our story.
I have loved you every second of your life & will miss you every second of mine. What a sweet sweet reunion ours will be.
