| Hi, sweetie. Mommy misses you so much it hurts. Has only been 2 months since we lost you. At times it seems like a lifetime, and other times it seems like only yesterday. I think God is shielding me from the worst of the pain, since I seem to be able to cope quite well so far. I don't know how this is possible, however, as you were my life. You were with me just about every second of every day, and I enjoyed every minute of your short life on Earth. 21 months is not long enough for a beautiful, energetic child like you. It should have been me that was taken. Your brothers and sister miss you alot, but they try not to show it. Daddy is making a beautiful memorial garden in place of that rotten pond you drowned in. I find it hard to enjoy looking at the work he is doing. The backyard, where you loved to play, is no longer a spot in which I find any beauty. Working on it really helps daddy, though. He really misses you, especially when he comes home from work and you are not there to greet him at the door. I miss not being able to take you for buggy rides now that the weather is turning nicer. Who is going to sit with me this summer through all your brothers and sisters ball games? Our life has changed so much. I love you baby and I hope you can see inside my heart just how much. I will be there with you someday, but for now, I will get through this life with you in my heart. Love Forever, Mommy. |

| God, May I Ask? |
| To come just to go? How will I ever know? To give just to take? Was this for my sake? Are there lessons I must learn? While this pain in me burns? Was my boy just a loan? Was he never my own? Why just two years of joy? Only to loose my little boy? Dare I now wish him back? What could he ever now lack? How do I go on? Now that Dylan is gone? How do I face the years, With days full of tears? How can I now be strong, When even hours are so long? Lord, with me will you stay? And will you show me the way? |
| And God Does Answer |
| The pain that you feel does not equal, The joy of Dylan's new life sequel. I paid for his sin with Jesus, My Son, And as you well know, He was My only One. I gave Him up, which caused Me much pain, But trust Me My child, it was all for your gain. I now hold your son and he's close to My heart, And all in good time you will not be apart. For to you I have promised, on a glorious day, That you and your family will ALL with Me stay. So carry on in this life, Although there is strife, For I give you My word, As your family has heard, "And surely I am with you always, To the very end of the age." Matthew 28:20 Written by John DeBoer |
