I can not even imagine what you're going thru right now. I don't even know the words to say to make your pain any less. I am glad that i got a chance to meet the little guys. Just trust that God will give you the strength and your memories of your time with the baby will give you comfort. Be blessed for the time that you had with him and know that God takes care of all little children.
