Tiny Angels
Tiny Angels rest your wings
sit with me for awhile.
How I long to hold your hand,
And see your tender smile.
Tiny Angel, look at me,
I want this image clear….
That I will forget your precious face
Is my biggest fear.
Tiny Angel can you tell me,
Why you have gone away?
You weren’t here for very long….
Why is it, you couldn’t stay?
Tiny Angel shook his head,
“These things I do not know….
But I do know that you love me,
And that I love you so”.
I love you Boo so much… my heart aches more and more each day. I wish you were here!
Daddy!
It is with a very sad and heavy heart that I am writing this post to you all today. Last night, around 5:30pm, my little angel “Boo” gained his wings. After a wonderful day of watching the Broncos kick Kansas City’s butt with my little buddy, Carter gave his winning exclamation cheer …”GO Broncos!” its the first time I heard Carter say this and say it so clearly. He too was excited to finally win a game in Kansas City in December. Shortly after the game and after Carter awoke from a little afternoon nap on my chest. We thought it was time for bath time. “Bath”, “Bath” he kept saying, he loved to take a bath and it was the first time I had given him a bath in a long time since I am always working during the weeks. So after his bath we got cuddled up to watch his favorite Little Einsteins… he loved this particular episode… you know the one with Hansel & Gretel? I can hear it right now… “Hansel Gretel don’t you worry, we are coming in a hurry” he loved this episode so much the smile and excitement it brought to him made us laugh so hard! After a few showings of this it was time for bed…. And as I went to put him down to bed…. he looked at me in the eyes and made a large grasp of air and then went limp…. As Deni was calling 911, I was trying to give him CPR, he came to once and I thought I was going to pull him out of what ever was happening to him. Unfortunately what was happening to him was he was getting his calling to move on to do good and care and bring inspiration to a larger audience. His I-Cell disease had weakened his small body, but not his soul, his mind nor his ability to bring so much joy to all that had known him. I might be greedy, but I am having a hard time realizing he is gone and having a real hard time sharing him with all that need him. He was our entire world. We cared for him night and day in return he brought a joy to us that we only wish others could have from their own children. He was a courageous warrior who had strength of a million men and I only hope that in this time I can have a millionth of that strength, as we are now alone, in body, we will forever be bound by spirit. Carter, please know that I will always love you and I can’t wait to meet you in heaven so I can finally hear you tell me that you love me too. You are forever missed.
