Rhett Jameson Gray

Our sweet boy,
From the first moment we knew we were pregnant, our hearts were so full of joy. We couldn’t wait to be parents of three! THREE boys!
19.5 weeks later, our world came crashing down, with the horrible news of conditions you were suffering from. Momma’s heart was not prepared for any of it. I carried you for those 21 weeks, you became my best friend in there, you’d let me know things were okay with your little flutters and your strong heartbeat 🖤 I know now that you are not suffering or in pain. You are in a very special place with very special & important people to me and Daddy.
Mommy, Daddy, Braxton and Waylon love you so much, baby boy.

Turner Syndrome

Ayaan

Our Miracle Gone too Soon :
Yearning for a miracle
You were gift from god to us
We danced with joy at the news of it
First time saw you waving at me with your little fingers at 8 weeks
Your dad and me kept looking at you thinking how can such a tiny being steal your heart
Days passed and you started fluttering and moving around more
At 17 week we got a devastating news that was too hard to take in
My eyes were watery and mind too weak to believe what I was hearing
With a heavy heart, I went for more testing to confirm as I couldn’t just let you go
At 20 week we saw you summersaulting, waving and smiling at us, that is forever etched in our memories
Oh I wished that I could hold you in my arms
At 22 week we got the most painful news that was too hard to believe
You were gone too soon my miracle
I wasn’t ready for it and never will be
May you have an angel always by your side
You will be loved forever my little miracle
Even death can’t take that away

We never wanted you to suffer, so we hope that you can forgive us, and that the heavens will be a kinder place for your soul. You taught us so much about pregnancy, about life, and about ourselves, and we thank you for these lessons. We will always love you, and you will always be our first daughter. If you happen to come back to us, we will love you ever more. But if not, please watch over us, and those that will come after you. We will hold onto the vine, don’t you worry, little tomato.

I will always fondly remember feeling your adorable little kicks inside me, how they helped me get through bad days at work. I will always remember how much love I felt for you when I saw and held you after giving birth to you.

Asher

We named you Asher because it means fortunate, blessed, happy one and from how wiggly you were and your ultrasound smiles, it was truly fitting. We are so grateful for the time we got to spend with you feeling your kicks and wiggles, sharing banana pancakes, dance parties, taking you to meet your Grandpa in Anza, Daddy’s first sip of alcohol with his son and singing to you in my Mornings with Ash. You brought us so much happiness and love. We only wish we could have had longer, could have held you in our arms. Losing you has left a hole in our hearts that will never go away, but they are more full than ever before. Though we had to let you go, we find joy and peace in knowing you will never suffer and will always be our happy one. We miss you so much.

“No there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do, to make you feel my love.”

Always know this, our sweet baby boy, you are so wanted and loved. We will carry you in our hearts forever.

Your big brother and your parents miss you tremendously. Thank you for coming into our lives. You came back to us briefly a few months later, but couldn’t stay. It was the saddest day of our lives. I wish I could have seen your face. The love will forever remain. I keep your last ultrasound picture in a special place along with the canvas drawing I made of you. We love you, Little Chief!!

No heartbeat found at 20 weeks; baby had stopped growing at 16 weeks and 4 days and I had just heard the heartbeat and seen him moving at my 16 week check up.. I was told the reason for the late loss was not chromosomal, but unknown. I was forced to have a D&C.

Peter Edward

Our sweet Peter. We are so thankful for the six months we got to be your parents. We are blessed to have had you at all. We love you to the moon and back and back again. We always have and always will. We already miss you more than words can ever convey. You changed our lives forever and brought us so much joy. You are so loved. You are perfectly imperfectly made. And you’ll forever be our boy.

until we meet again... xoxo, mama and dad

“Now it’s time to say good night
Good night sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you.
Close your eyes and I’ll close mine
Good night sleep tight
Now the moon begins to shine
Good night sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you.
Close your eyes and I’ll close mine
Good night sleep tight
Now the sun turns out his light
Good night sleep tight
Dream sweet dreams for me
Dream sweet dreams for you.
Good night good night everybody
Everybody everywhere
Good night.”

Sweet Pea

Are there rocking chairs in Heaven
where little babies go?
Do the angels hold you closely
and rock you to and fro?

Do they talk silly baby talk
to get a smile or two,
and sing the sleepy lullabies
I used to sing to you?

My heart is aching for you,
my angel child so dear.
You brought such joy into my life
the short time you were here.

I know you’re in a happy place
and in God’s loving care.
I dream each night I’m rocking you
in Heaven’s rocking chair

—Poem by Ron Tranmer

You were the baby we never knew we could have. What I would give to hold you in my arms.

With all the love in our hearts, Mumma and Dadda

I could not stop smiling the day I found out I was pregnant with you. I love you so much and so looked forward to raising you and spending the rest of my life as your mom. I am so so sorry I did not get the chance to meet you outside of my belly. Ali, your dad and I wanted so badly to shower you with love and hugs and kisses. I’m so sad your body and chromosomes let you down and I hope we have not let you down with our “choice” to end your suffering. We never had the choice of a healthy life for you son—and it’s the saddest feeling I’ve ever experienced. I miss carrying you in my belly and hope you felt the love that is very alive for you. I am thankful for our short time together and know you will stay with me for the rest of your life.

Love you so so much, - Your mom

You were everything I wanted and more; a baby conceived out of pure love and happiness. I am truly sorry for making the decision to send you to a better place. I didn’t want you to live a life of pain and suffering. It was the most difficult decision I have ever made in my life. I thought long and hard about it. I prayed. I had close family and friends pray for us, and yet every bone in my body led me to decide that you were better off in heaven with your grandma and uncle. I wanted nothing more than to have you, my precious baby boy, to have you grow up strong and healthy and in my arms. I will meet you once again my baby, Alejandro Ruben, until then please watch over me. I love you with all my heart and soul. 💙💙💙

We knew bringing you here
Was only doing us good.
Up with mother Mary you shall stay
I hope to see you reach for me one day.
I hope to see the hair I dreamed of
So blonde and straight and bright
Like the laugh I heard in all my dreams
With your brother and sister by your side
They will see your face one day too
For now I’ll teach them to look to heaven to see you.
I close my eyes and see you in my heart
It is where you came from your very start.
I love you Astrid
It will only grow each day
grow in my heart until it’s so big
It carries me away.

This only expresses words that cant touch how much I miss you. Thats a scorching agony of eternal death where I last felt you.

Seven

My sweet boy Seven had been about two years in the making. After multiple failed IUI cycles, I underwent IVF. I conceived on the first try. I remember my doctor telling me he chose this 12 cell embryo because it was “more advanced” than the others. I was over the moon when the clinic called to tell me it had worked. I was instantly in love. At 11 weeks, I did the cfDNA, thinking I would just have extra peace of mind. I was positive for T18 and confirmed about a month later by amniocentesis. That month wait between the cfDNA and amniocentesis was difficult but lovely. I chose to lean into enjoying our time together. I sang you songs and talked to you daily. I also promised you I wouldn’t let you suffer if I could help it. So on 2/21/20, I parted ways with you physically. You made me a Mother and I am forever grateful.
Seven, you’ll always be on my mind and in my heart.

Love,

Lethal skeletal dysplasia

Fiddler’s Green

He doesn’t know a soul
There’s nowhere that he’s really been
But he won’t travel long alone
No, not in Fiddler’s Green
Balloons all filled with rain
As children’s eyes turn sleepy-mean
And Falstaff sings a sorrowful refrain
For a boy in Fiddler’s Green

Love, Mommy and Abba

Laurel Calliope

I never expected this to happen, my love. I have been trying to be strong for your sisters and father. I still feel like everything we went through was just a bad dream. It is unreal how the pain of losing you still brings me to my knees. I force myself to think of the good memories of our time together. How much love Bryan and I felt towards you. How your big sisters glowed when you kicked them in my belly. How you would dance around when your dad would play drums and when I would sing. I miss you so much Laurel… I think the hardest part of all of this is knowing that I had to choose this. To make such a hard decision honestly turned my life upside down. I hope you know that I did this all out of love. I hope we will meet again someday and I truly hope you feel how much I love and miss you, my sweet little baby. You have taught me so much and have shown me how strong I am. We all send our love. Please watch over your sisters and know we cherish you, Laurel Calliope! You are my muse… my little bluebird… my sweet angel baby…💗

Until we meet again my love, your silly mom

We didn’t get to meet you in person but you stole our hearts! I’m sorry that Mommy wasn’t able to carry you to term. But just know that I love you with everything I have in me! Please watch over us! We love you Evie Snow!

Maternal issue

Avo Spencer

We never found out your gender and lost you before we could pick a name. You were our little avocado. You will forever be known as, Avo Spencer, our little avocado baby.

The first time we saw you move we lost you only moments later. We were heartbroken by your diagnosis and made the decision to let you go now so you and your mom could both stop suffering. We love you always and forever. You will forever be apart of us. Our lives are eternally changed. We made you a special avocado urn and will celebrate special moments with you always. May your soul be able to move on and be at peace.

Always and forever, Your Mom & Dad

My sweet little bun, you have been everything that I had ever wanted. Having to let you go was the best, but hardest decision I had to ever make and I wish it was a decision that I never had to make. I could never bring myself to make you live such an unfair life and everyday is a reminder of what could have been and it hurts so much , but I will forever love and cherish you.

Our Twins

Heartbreak
Once upon a time I thought I knew pain
But it turns out I didnt know what pain could be
I feel lost running in the rain
My heart tore out shredded to bits how could this happen to me
I thought that my little family would be complete
Apparently that’s not what god had planned for me
Losing not one but two little mini me’s
How am i suppossed to believe
That this is what god had planned for me
To rip out my heart and tear it to bits
I can’t believe that this is it
My heart aches so very much
That my babies i’ll never even get to touch
My soul will take a long time to recover from this
Just know my sweet loves that forever you will be missed
I don’t think i could go through this again
To go from one to two to none
My heart aches because this cannot be undone

Love Mommy and Daddy

My Beautiful Babies

My beautiful babies
I will never know you now
It really wasn’t meant to be
It’s too unfair, somehow.

Touched with grand love
Although for a small time
That feeling stays forever
And forever you are mine.

But hiding the grief
And fighting back the tears
Will be part of me now
For the rest of my years

A curse of disbelief
For you two mean so much,
My 2 beautiful babies
Our love is always in touch.

I am blinded by tears
And I have a gaping space
My two precious twins.
I will never replace.

But forever you both are
And forever you will be
Part of my family
And the void that is in me.

You are what completes me and
The void that fills me

Love mum, dad, 4 sisters and 4 brothers

There are no words to express how much we love you. There would never be enough time to be together. But we had to let you go so soon. It broke our hearts and also showed us that in the dark moments of deep sorrow, the light of compassion and ultimate love shines far brighter than ever 💖
We miss you every single moment of our lives, our beloved son Robert.

Our sweet baby George. The thought of having you scared me when I first found out I was pregnant with you. When we knew we were losing you, we were devastated. You are my firstborn and so incredibly loved. You made me a mother and taught me that I could love a baby. You brought me and your father closer than anything could have. Because of you, we are stronger. You are always in my thoughts and will never be forgotten. I look forward to the day I can see you again. We love you.

Little Snowdrop.
(Author unknown)

The world may never notice
If a Snowdrop doesn’t bloom,
Or even pause to wonder
If the petals fall too soon.

But every life that ever forms,
Or ever comes to be,
Touches the world in some small way
For all eternity.

The little one we longed for
Was swiftly here and gone.
But the love that was then planted
Is a light that still shines on.

And though our arms are empty,
Our hearts know what to do.
For every beating of our hearts
Says that we love you.

Love you forever, Māmā , Daddy, big sister Evelyn, and little Rainbow brother, Desmond.

It’s a beautiful gift. It has remade me utterly.
I’d still give it back if I could have you, alive and healthy, instead.

You taught us to treasure every moment as a family, you taught us that it is okay to cry in front of our living son and discuss difficult emotions with him, you taught us to lean on family and friends and ask for help when we need it, you taught us the importance of empathy and listening to other people’s experiences, and you taught us to advocate for what is important to us and to advocate for others who may not be ready or able to do so themselves. You changed our lives and you are forever in our hearts.
