Letter to Sadie, from Sarah Halsey

My sweet baby Sadie, oh how I stare at your picture all day sometimes. I know your safe and happy. And I can't wait to see you again. I love you.

Letter to Rowan, from Sarah Halsey

Dear baby Rowan, (little acorn). I've gotten to know your mommy because my baby, Sadie, went to heaven too. Your mommy is so wonderful as you know. Full of love, light and kindness. She loves you so much.

Letter to Aron, from Becca JevonsTo Aron,

I miss you. The dull ache of missing you is constant. Time has sanded down the sharp edges of pain, but the dull ache remains.

There is guilt in laughter and sadness in celebration for the simple fact that you are not here and we wish you were. Nothing will ever be complete because you are missing.

Beautiful boy, don't ever doubt how much you are loved and missed. Don't look upon the facade of family life and think that we have moved on.

I long for you, I love you, I miss you. None of that will ever change.

Mama xx

Letter to Tono, from Maygan Figueroa

My little Tono,
There is so much I want to say to you, I never dreamed I would be doing it like this. I thought you would have a lifetime with us.

I loved you the second I found out you were coming. I was so excited that Kaylie was going to have a little brother and Ariel was going to have a son. I hoped you would look just like your Papa.

We prayed for you continually, and I prayed we would get to meet you, even if it was only minutes. You surprised everyone including doctors by being born at 37 weeks and weighing almost 6 pounds. God was so generous and let us hold you for 24 hours when we were told we probably wouldn’t hear you breathe or cry. You were beautiful with your olive skin, dark eyes and a head full of hair. You had 10 fingers and toes, huge feet that looked just like Papas. God answered my prayers by you being born alive and he answered Ariels by you opening your eyes.

I love you so much I think of you constantly. I will never forget your sweet face that I am sure smiled at me. I will always be your Mama, and I will carry you in my heart until I see you again with Jesus.
