Andrew Phillip Parent

My Baby Andrew,

One year in heaven and one year of life without you. I can't believe that it has been a whole year already, and yet, it seems like an eternity, too. I guess that it will never make sense. You are ALWAYS in our thoughts. Your baby sister is 10 days old today, and I see so much of you in her. What a blessing. I know that you will be her angel and watch over her. We all miss you so much, baby boy! How different and fuller our lives would be with you here. WE LOVE...

Hi baby boy! In another week or so, your little sister will be lighting up our world, and I just want you to know how much I love you and miss you! It has been such a dark place without you. Please help mommy to be strong and to carry on. I still struggle every day, and I almost have trouble believing that you aren't coming back. My time will soon be filled with your little sis, and what a blessing she has been for our family. I just want you to know that my heart is full of love for you, and...

My Baby Andrew,

Happy First Birthday, my sweet angel. We celebrated your birthday today, and though the occasion was so empty without you, we will continue to celebrate your birthday and your life for the rest of ours. I love you with all of my heart. You and baby Bree are my strength and the miracles that keep me going. Daddy kissed your picture this morning and wished you Happy Birthday. He said that he misses you. Then, he lowered his head and pouted his bottom lip - just...

Today, on Andrew's 1st birthday, I wish more than anything else, we were having a real birhday party for our little man. I hope that Heaven is like they say it is and that Andrew is celebrating today, and that all of Heaven is singing Happy Birthday to him. February 3rd will come for the rest of our lives and, every year, we will celebrate in our hearts and remember how wonderful and special Andrew was and still is.
Happy Birthday to God's sweetest angel.

To Gretchen and Phillip And
To Our Sweet Angel Andrew,

Tomorrow would be your 'First Happy Birthday'. Your precious memory will sustain us tomorrow and for many birthdays to come. We love you and miss you.

Love, Grandma Sharon

Dear Gretchen and Phillip,
On Thursday your "little man" baby Andrew would have been 1 year old. We all wish he was still with you so we could all celebrate his first birthday. Happy Birthday Baby Andrew!
Love, Aunt Judy and Uncle Larry

I know you dont know me but you wrote in my son Nicholas's guest book. I dont think we will ever understand why these things happen. I dont go one minute without thinking about my little boy. I know you know the pain that I am going through. I read what you wrote to Andrew and I feel the exact same way. The only way I have been able to keep going is to know that I will get to hold my little boy again one day in heaven. Mabey our sons will meet in heaven while they wait for us to come home too.

7 months ago the angels called your sweet little man home. I pray daily that God gives you peace in your hearts. We think of each of you all of the time. Take care of yourselves and know that you are loved by so many people. -Donna, Joey and Emily

I was just thinking about our angels. I love Andrews hair. I pray that God will comfort you today!!
