We miss you and think of you every day. I am so happy that I had the amazing experience of growing you and carrying you inside me. Your time with us was brief and I wish I cherished it more.
Every time I look at Garrett I think of you. I picture the two of you side by side, little clones of each other. Then I picture you, Garrett and Rhys all together. I so wish that you were here with all of us.
Every time someone calls Garrett and Rhys "twins" I want to tell them that they are wrong. I want people to know that you existed and were loved so much. We are thankful for the health of your brothers. But it doesn't change the fact that we are devastated by your loss.
Everyday, I wonder why you were given to us, only to be taken away. The only reason I can come up with, is that you have made us better parents. We appreciate things more, especially your brothers. We are learning to let the little things go, and focus on what is important in life.
When I lose patience with one of your brothers, I often think of you. I remind myself of how much I would love to have you here driving me crazy too.
Thank you Ben for watching over your brothers and keeping them safe. Thank you for teaching us to be better people and better parents.
We love you and miss you more than words can say.

ReplyDeleteKnowing how many comments you can get with a simple trip to the mall I have often thought of you and how painful it must be each time you are asked. There is no greater joy than becoming a parent and no greater grief than loosing a child, to experience these emotions on the same day is unimaginable. Wishing you peace.
