And can it be that in a world so full and busy,
the loss of one small creature makes a void in any heart,
so wide and deep that nothing
but the width and depth of vast eternity can fill it up.

Tributes and Condolences

8 years / Mommy
Sometimes I still feel like if I turn my head fast enough, I will catch a glimpse of you in this life. I am so sorry I failed you, little one. Our Baby Alex. We miss you.

Missing you / Mommy
Today you would have gone to 1st grade. You'd have ridden the bus with your big brother and he wouldn't have had such a tough time (all by himself). We miss you every day...but we feel your absence most keenly in these moments when it is so...

I miss you / Mommy (Mommy)

His legacy

Remember
Christina Rossetti

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day.
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
