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...  Continue >>
I miss you   / Mommy (Mommy)
I don't know why but I've been missing you a lot lately. I've been thinking a lot about what might have been. Your little brother brings such love and joy...and yet there is this hole where you should be in our family. I know I am one of very few p...  Continue >>

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.
