So sorry in the loss of your beautiful child - a true child of God. Although your hearts were full of his love and presence on this earth for such a short time- know he is truly special and blessed. He is now in the presence of God and the Angels who will lovingly watch over him and guide him for you until you meet again.
May God grant you His peace in this very difficult time.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I lost my first baby to a stillbirth at full term and I understand how devistating it is to lose your child. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you navigate the next few weeks and months. It will not be easy, and there will be days where you just don't want to go on, but you will get through this. Your son was just beautiful. He may be gone physically, but he will never leave you completely. He will always be in your hearts and be a part of you that can never be taken way. It always gave me comfort to know that our family had a very special guardian angel watching over us and keeping us safe. I hope that can help you too. God bless.
