What do I say to you that hasn't already been said?? You may not have been with us nearly long enough, but your lessons and your legacy will live on, hopefully forever! Before I ever held you in my arms you taught me the value of patience, determination, and perseverance. And once you were here, you taught me to enjoy the little things...all the little things. In your passing, you taught me to find the sunshine in the sadness and to focus on what makes me happy. You may be the wisest teacher I've had, and you taught me these lessons in just over a year!
I loved every moment we had with you...from the flutters and kicks...to that month or so when you took up residence right under my ribs...to your first cry (which made us cry!)...to our outings and our snuggles at home. I loved changing every diaper (even the nasty blowouts!) and washing every bottle. No, seriously, I did enjoy all of that because it meant you were HERE and you were OURS.
You stole not only our hearts, but the hearts of everyone you met. Your mohawk, your smile, and your personality were infectious. And when you got sick, you just had that many more people thinking of and praying for you.
Of course we wish you were still here stealing hearts, especially ours. But we are so honored to have been chosen your parents...to have had the opportunity to know you and love you. And although you're gone, we won't ever stop loving you. We know you are partying it up with your older brother and baby sister, and that you are now busy stealing hearts in Heaven. We can't wait for the day we can once again hold you in our arms, but for now we are trying to carry out your mission...your monster's mission. We love you always and forever sweet boy.
Love you forever,
Mama and Daddy
