Dear God:

Dear God:

Please take good care of my baby.  For 11 years he filled my life with love and joy.   Today, I gave him the peace he needed.  He was my special little angel — and now he belongs to you.  Please hold him and love him as I have.  Keep him safe and warm.  Tuck him in at night.  Send him love from me and his brother, Jack.  We miss him already…  We will love him always.

When I was just a kid, my dad always told me not to cry over the little things.  He said I’d need those tears for later in life, and if I cried them all too early, I’d run out.  I never knew what he meant until now.  I think the dam just broke… and it won’t stop flowing.

Oh, God.  I wasn’t ready to let him go.  I want him back!!!!  Please.  I’ll do anything…  anything.  Nothing could ever fill this void.  All the same.  Thanks, God, for letting me hold him one last time before we said goodbye.  He knew it was time.  He woke me up this morning crying.  I don’t think he was quite ready to go either… but we don’t always have that choice, do we?

Please, take good care of my baby.

Love,

Me
