Well, I couldn’t let today pass without wishing our sweet baby boy a happy heavenly 7th birthday. The little boy who made us parents first, but who we sadly never got the chance to hold. 🩵
It’s crazy how fast time flies. You would’ve been 7 years old today, and goodness, the things I wish I could see you doing. Playing with your little sister, going hunting with your daddy, and being right here with us while we sang you happy birthday. There are so many moments I wish we could’ve shared with you.
I know God had a different plan, but that doesn’t make the ache of losing a child any easier. There truly is no greater pain. Even though I never got to hold you, not even for a split second, I have loved you every second of every day since the moment I knew you existed.
My mind wanders so many times, wondering what you would’ve looked like, how you would’ve acted, and what your little personality would’ve been like. One thing we know for sure is you would’ve sounded just as country as your daddy, but I sure hoped you would’ve gotten my blue eyes. 🥹
I can only hope and pray that you’re watching over us, especially your little sister. And Lord knows, after all the conversations and tears I’ve shared on my grandma’s shoulder over losing you, I know she’s up there loving on you and giving you all the hugs I never got the chance to give.
She was there the day we found out we had lost you. I’ll never forget those hugs; they were worth a million dollars. But even more than that, she reminded me that you were with Jesus, and I know without a doubt you’re up there with Grandma, Nana, Papa Danny, and Granny Ann, enjoying every little piece of heaven. Probably hunting and fishing just like your daddy. ❤️
Until we meet again, baby boy, keep watching over us. But especially keep an eye on your little sister. She’s a whole hot mess express, that’s for sure! 😂 But she knows all about you, and tonight, while looking up at the sky, she even wished her big brother a happy birthday. I wish you could’ve heard her. 🥹🩵
Mommy, Daddy & Sissy love you more than words could ever explain.
Happy 7th birthday in Heaven, our sweet boy. Forever our first baby. Forever loved. Forever missed. Until we hold you in Heaven. 🩵😭
