“We never got to hold you in our arms, but that didn’t stop our hearts from melting with unconditional love at the sight of your beautiful face when you graced this world with your preciousness. Only to have had you in this world for such a short time is heartbreaking. To know what a light from the storm you became from such an emotional beginning, and seeing the twinkle of curiosity in your eye from every picture was something that we will always cherish.
“In my heart, knowing your daddy’s arms are wrapped around you now is my only solace. You will be loved forever by your whole family, forever in our hearts you will be. Rest now precious baby boy, alongside your daddy, for eternity in warmth and comfort.”
