Baby Boy

Baby boy, you entered this world 3 years ago. Little did we know that your temporary sojourn on this Earth would be so very temporary. We miss your beautiful face; your smiles and laughter! Today we celebrate you, even though we cannot see, touch, or hold you. We long for that day! We hope that you will be close today and that we can honor your special little spirit, especially today on your birthday. Today is your day, Baby Shane.

This is one of the few pictures we have of our three boys all together, and what better place than in your mother's arms. She loves you. Your brothers love you and they talk about you still all the time, especially Connor. You were "his baby". Please look after him. He is such a sweet boy, but has experienced so much tragedy in life at a young age. Please look after your mother, Aiden, and Lydia too. We will soon be adding baby number five. We hope to be the parents we need to be in caring for these sweet spirits that must remain here with us.
From day one, you left your mark. There was just something special about you. We did not know what until we had to say goodbye. But today, on your birthday, we are grateful for your sweet entrance into this world. We are grateful that God gave us the chance to spend a little time with you. Somehow, someday, we will hold your little body again right where we left off. Until then, we will celebrate each passing year until you are once again in our arms. We love you, all of us! We miss you! Happy Birthday, baby boy!
