Memorial Service Tomorrow

Tomorrow our hospital is having a memorial service for all the babies and children that passed away in 2007. I'm sure our little Tyler's life will be one of many that will be remembered there. Mike and I both admitted tonight that we are dreading it, although we know we need to and want to go to it. In some ways, time has removed some of the pain, but in an instant our hearts can be taken right back to where we were that cold, December day...holding our baby in his last moments...silence deafening...tears falling... love surrounding his little being... the first time and last time we were able to hold him in his six days. Tomorrow we will be back in the town where the hospital was and will be remembering him and thanking God for even our short time with him.

I stumbled upon your blog a few weeks ago, and just wanted to let you know that I am praying for you today as you head to the memorial service for your beautiful son Tyler. It was a year ago that I went to a memorial service for my neice Lydia at our local children's hospital for a service in memory of all the 2006 babies who have gone onto heaven. Please know I will be thinking and praying for you both during this time. I am Praising God for the wonderful memories that he has given you of your son. Our Lord is our Rock in time of need. Blessings to you both, Andrea from Ohio
