October 15th, 2013. We remember.

“An Angel in the book of life wrote down my baby’s birth. Then whispered as she closed the book “too beautiful for earth.” In loving memory of Katelyn Grace born still but still born 10-30-2012. We love you and miss you so much sweet baby girl. <3

Never Stop Dreaming…..

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.

- Margaret Mezza

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 :)
Jennifer Thorn

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
