Trenton Man,
Well, where do I start? Me and your mommy talked about this day many times in many of our long and involved talks about life, but talking about it and actually having to live it are two completely different things. Although we know that your suffering has ended and we are comforted by the knowlege that you are finally safe at home with God, the reality of the void that has been left in this family is overwhelming. I remember when your mommy and daddy first got you. You were such a beautiful little baby, and in a world where we often fear that which is different, you melted all of our hearts. Probably my favorite memory is being at the park by your house when you were still tiny. I held you on my lap and kissed you all over your chubby little cheeks and neck and you giggled and giggled. Such a beautiful baby. You and your parents have been such an inspiration and comfort in my life and I cant even express the words to say how thankful I am. When Mikey was born, I was so scared, and all I had to do was look at you. I was already familiar with the machines he was hooked up to because your mommy showed me how to use them. And when he finally got to go home, and you got to hold him, I know that even though we couldnt hear you, you told him it was ok and you showed him how to be strong. Thank you so much. I know that your life was a struggle, but I also know that you had a purpose. And even though it broke my heart to see you struggle and watch your parents endure helplesness, I know you stayed to show us what love really is. It has been an honor and a privlige to know you and watch you grow. And I really and truely cannot express how much joy and love you have brought into this family. You touched everyone who ever met you, and made us all aware of just how precious every moment we have together on this earth is. Our hearts will break every second we are seperated from you physically, but we know you will forever be in hearts. And we will look forward to that day when we get called home and we see you again, in a new and unbroken body. How beautiful will that be? I miss you and love you so much, and I thank you again for all the joy you have given to those who knew you. Love always, "Auntie" Autum
