That's great that you can be there for him and support him even though Baby JW wasn't your son. We lost a nephew at less than 2 weeks old.... thanks for the comment luv today!

Oh wow, that is heartbreaking. I'm glad he could find a smile through his pain. We lost a little one before our little dude was born. I can't imagine how much worse the pain would be if the baby had been born instead of "lost." Your poor hubs.

Oh my gosh, how incredibly sad. My heart goes out...

Oh my gosh, how incredibly sad. My heart goes out to you. But what a beautiful, beautiful tribute to that sweet baby.

I appreciate your putting this out there to make other people aware.

Thanks for coming by my place today, sitsta. I'll see you again real soon...

This is a beautiful post but it is sad that it had to be written.

It is good that we are fighting to end prematurity so then hopefully no other parents will have to write something like this.

No child or parent should ever have to endure this...

2009-11-17T16:42:53.358-05:00

No child or parent should ever have to endure this. Prematurity is so frightening and so much more common than most people know. Thank you for bringing light to it every year.

2009-11-17T10:12:39.181-05:00

awwww honey- no, you shouldnt have to do any of that at a baby's graveside... BECAUSE he is not there. his soul is with jesus in heaven, rejoicing continually that you remember him and still feel the love for him that he was sent here to give. your lives are different because he came, even if briefly... look at all the good things which have come out of this because he was here... every little life, no matter how brief, has a purpose.. which you and your dear hubby are loyally, continually, lovingly, living every single day for the rest of your lives. something which perhaps wouldnt occur if not for him. think of all the differences you have and are making... you will never know the totality of it. and as sure as i breathe, i am sure he already knows how special his siblings are as he can see their hearts from where he is. god bless you and yours.. your loss and pain are not for nothing..

hugs
