Dear Daniel, I held you when you were only a couple of days old. Your mom and I shared so much and I remember the joy in her heart and eyes when she found out you were on the way. You were her pride and joy and the love in her heart. To lose both of you as we did hurts, but we do take comfort knowing you are together. Watch over your dad. He needs to know you and your mom will always be with him. Love Sharon
