So sorry for your family. I can only think of Jesus cradling Max in His arms. Praying for your family.
Not flesh of my flesh nor bone of my bone,
But still miraculously my own.
Never forget for a single minute,
You didn't grow under my heart, but in it.

I was looking for an obituary for a friend's son when I saw the one for Max. My heart is broken for the family. As I sit here and play with my 3 yr old grandson, I realize how extremely blessed we are. I just HAD to write to the family. May God comfort you, as only He can.
