My sweet boy, my little one, my Aiden “Lefty”, you forever hold a piece of my heart. Mommy loves you.

I dreamed of braiding your hair
And teaching you to sing and dance
And watching your brothers hold your hand
Proud, protective, enchanted.
I promised to keep you warm
And safe and surrounded by love
For nine months, for a lifetime
All I had to give, yours.
I felt you drift to sleep
And leave us unfulfilled
Our dreams of a little sister
Fading into the void.
You could not join us here
And bring us Earthly joy
But we will reunite one day
Sweet Daddy’s little girl.

Below please find the text from a letter I wrote to my son, Jackson DeLauder Thorn, who was born sleeping on Nov. 16, 2005, at 37 weeks. I read this letter at his funeral.
My sweet baby boy,
Some people only dream of angels. We held one in our arms. It was all at once the best and worst feeling in the world. The best because there you were, so beautiful and precious, the perfect combination of your daddy and me, made with so much love. The worst, because as I kissed your cold cheek, I realized that all the hopes and dreams I had for you weren’t going to ever come true. You were so very wanted, my love. And I tried so hard to keep you safe. I am so sorry I failed you. But I take great comfort in knowing that all you ever knew was love … No pain, no sadness … Only love. Some day, God willing, you will have brothers and sisters. And we will love them very much and will tell them how much we miss you and wish you could be with us. But you, my love, my first, will always hold a very special part of my heart. I will think about you every day. And some day, it won’t hurt as much, and eventually I will even be able to smile, knowing I always have a very special guardian angel looking after me. I love you forever. Mommy.
Thank you for letting me share this ![]()

I loved the boy with the utmost love of which my soul is capable of, and he is taken from me…yet in the agony of my spirit in surrendering such a treasure, I feel a thousand times richer than if I had never possessed it.” -William Wordsworth, 1812
