| Aidan Lee Lemmer |
| As they handed you to me to hold my eyes filled up with tears, I had planned on spending lots of time with you for many years. But the Angels came and took you as soon as you arrived. Months and days speed by on a rollarcoaster that never slows down~ not even for taking a breath. My loss, and my love, bring me sunrise to sunset and strengthen my soul somehow. I never cease to think of you. You never cease to be My Son My Baby My Destiny My little Aidan Lee. I often dream I hear you whisper in my ear and I know it could be true for I know~ you are always near. |

| Our LIFE with Aidan began on my 25th birthday, in spring of 2001. Our pregnancy was similar to his two brothers, however this time it was more special~ he was to be our "last". We never knew how final those words can be. I experienced high blood pressure the last two weeks and had gone into labor at 36 weeks, the doctor chose to put me on Brethine to stop the labor. I saw her ever day and had ultrasounds every other day the final week. I told her every day, Aidan was not moving as much, something was not right. He had frequent hiccups and spastic quivering throughout the day- we learned later these were signs of oxygen deprevation. I knew he wanted to be born or else my body would not have gone into labor. The doctor thought he needed to maybe gain another pound or two. The tests showed he was ready to be born. I was scheduled to be induced on Monday. When I awoke Sunday morning I was in labor and we headed to the hospital. By the time we arrived I was in full blown labor. They ordered an emergency cesarean section soon after arriving because Aidan was in distress. I had suffered a complete placental abruption and uterine rupture. I am very blessed to be alive. Aidan was a perfectly healthy 6 lbs 1oz beautiful baby boy who was 17 & 3/4 inches long. He had dark brown hair and deep dark brown eyes with long lashes, like his Daddy and big brothers. He was perfect in every way, sadly, even according to his autopsy. He died of lack of oxygen due to the abruption. Aidan went to heaven the day he was born~ NOVEMBER 25, 2001. 10:25a.m.-10:52a.m. He was laid to rest at Oak Grove Cemetery in Minnesota on December 4, 2001. |

| I know someday I'll see you and we'll walk hand in hand; or someday I will just sit and hold you in my arms to make up for all of the days we could not be together~ though I know in my heart that you are with me every day. I love you so much and need you to feel my love wherever in Heaven you are. |
| You've sailed beyond the sunset of all of our hopes and dreams.. see you on the other side! |

| Please help us spread awareness of SADS (Sudden Antenatal Death Syndrome) which accounts for over 30,000 infant deaths a year prior to their birth. Stillbirth shatters dreams and hopes for families just like ours, every day. In 2001, our perfect and beautiful little Aidan was only one in over 36,000 babies born still !!! This has to STOP |
| We support the educating efforts of The Pregnancy Institute (www.preginst.com) and The National Stillbirth Society (www.stillnomore.org) The goal is healthy babies born ALIVE. |
| The only way to pave the way for RESEARCH and PREVENTION is through AWARENESS and EDUCATION |
| We love you and miss you every day! |
| Some have a lifetime, Others, just a day~ Love is not something you measure that way! |
