"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief...and of unspeakable love."
~Washington Irving

Letter


Dear Ryan,
You amaze us. We have loved you from the moment we knew of you. Through the 7 months of pregnancy and the 2 amazing hours you spent with us, you have inspired us.
Ryan, you had a quiet but strong presence. We will always remember the reassuring sound of your hearbeat and the beautiful image of you on the sonogram. When you were born, you did not make a noise, but your presence was known. The warmth of your body and the breathes you took, are memories we will have forever. We are so proud of you and the fight and strength you demonstrated during your time with us. You have given us strength.
We wish our time with you could have been longer, but we will be forever grateful that you are part of our family. Please know that you have forever changed our lives and we are grateful that we were able to be your parents.
Your life has touched many and so many people love you. We will always carry you with us. Our love for your is beyond words.
Until we meet again.
Love,
Mom and Dad
