My sweet baby boy,

You were only three years old when you went to heaven. If I could tell you anything, I would say thank you for bringing so much love and joy to me and your daddy. I wake up thinking about you and I go to bed thinking about you. I will never understand why God took you away so quickly from our lives.

I do know that, because of you I realized what I should do with the rest of my life. You are the inspiration for me to get my degree so I can teach preschool. I know that by helping children, I will be honoring your spirit and your love for life.

I’m so happy that we spent so much time together painting, going to the zoo, playing sports and looking at the stars. Just like I told you how “you’re the best boy in the whole world,” I know you are also the “best boy in heaven too”. The pain of missing you will never go away. I know this for a fact. I will continue on because I know one day we will be reunited. Until then, I love you and miss you every minute of every day.

Love,

Mommy, age 38
