My dearest Amy,
You are one of the strongest, brave, and admirable women that I know. MY thoughts and prayers are with you and your family always. I know that our paths don't always cross but it seems that at times we have seen each other through things and always find each other in times of need. I send you stength and love and remember that your life is an inspiration to all of us and you are never alone! Although, you do not have your beloved son here with you, please know that you certainly have a bigger angel that will always be with you and everything that you work for and those that you touch. I love you and again my thoughts and prayers are with you. Reach out to me anytime!
Love always,
Kristin Coyne-Pittsfield

The Last Days

We laid together day after day
And I knelt and I cried and I hoped and I prayed
That your little heart could make it through
Because without you I don’t know what I would do
Each day that passed even closer we came
Watching you fight, I chose Aahlee for your name
Then my heart sank as you began to get weak
I sang quiet lullabies hoping you would stay quiet and sleep
Next was the morning I knew you were gone
With pain filling my soul, I wonder what I did wrong
No matter how much time passes my heart has a tear
I reach down to my belly, and you’re no longer there
In heaven stay with me, send me guidance little one
Fly high with the angels, my baby, my son.

-Wrote with love by your Mommy-

Dear lord, they say that you only give people what they can handle. I beg for mercy, because I can’t take anymore.
