Parents For a Week

Parents for a week Over before it starts Hopes and dreams washed away by blood Leaving two broken hearts How will we remember you Twenty years from now? The false start, a minor tug at the heart? Or the last shot at happiness, A tragic work of art? Farewell little one, we'll bid you farewell Your spotless soul's bound for heaven As this world descends into hell

This is so sad but beautifully written... I understand this and can well relate. I am so sorry for your loss. You will never forget that little one, twenty years later you will still remember... and that little one will be watching over you guys, it's mama and daddy... they say in heaven they grow and learn... I firmly believe that. I wish there were more I could say to help... my heart is with you both. Love, Amy

Kevin, I am deeply sorry for your loss. The feeling is so devastating and empty, there are no words truly. A tiny angel now is at peace in heaven. One day we will hopefully understand the why's of such tragedies here on earth. My heart goes out to you both. Love, Shar
