A Tribute to my nephew!

I really hope that my sister-in-law Catherine doesn't mind me doing this but my heart is so full and I just feel like I need to share her story. Maybe it will help some of us realize how important life is and to look at our children and give them a big hug and kiss and let them know that no matter what, we will love them forever!
Catherine was 5 months pregnant when she went in for her ultra-sound to find out the gender of her baby! Nothing could of have prepared them for what came next. I don't know exactly what happened but the doctor informed them that the baby had passed away! She delivered the baby early in the morning. It was a little boy! Still born.
My poor Catherine. I can't imagine the pain that you are feeling right now. My heart is reaching out to you and aching with you! I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. And I'm sorry that I am such a terrible sister-in-law. I promise to be here for you always. No matter what you need! I love you so much and am so grateful for everything you do for me. You have always been there for me in the times I needed you the most!
You and Tyler are in our prayers forever. I know that your little man although short, fufilled his purpose here. In just the short amount of time, he brought joy into everyone's lives! Remember Heavenly Father is also here for you and you can turn to him anytime! Be strong and know that you have endless amounts of love and support!
Love,
Toni

Daddy, please don't look so sad, Mama please don't cry~ "Cause I am in the arms of Jesus and He sings me lullabies." Please, try not to question God, Don't think he is unkind Don't think He sent me to you, and then He changed his mind. You see, I am a special child, and I'm needed up above I'm the special gift you gave Him, the product of your love. I'll always be there with you and watch the sky at night, Find the brightest star that's gleaming, That's my halo's brilliant light. You'll see me in the morning frost, that mists your window pane. That's me in the summer showers, I'll be dancing in the rain. When you feel a little breeze, from a gentle wind that blows That's me, I'll be there, planting a kiss on your nose. When you see a child playing, and your heart feels a little tug, That's me, I'll be there, giving your heart a hug. So Daddy, please don't look so sad, Mama don't your cry. I'm in the arms of Jesus and He sings me lullabies.

Oh Toni that breaks my heart. My prayers are with her and the rest of the family. What a difficult thing to go through. I can't even imagine.

I don't like hearing these awful stories. It's way too sad! Lately I've been so emotional!
