Exactly 5 years ago today you were born. It was a Monday morning and the weather was a lot nicer than it is today. This interesting and unexpected weather change we have today just makes me think you have decided that if we are not celebrating and having a good day then no one is! I'm sure you are still being mischievous in heaven and doing things your way.
I can't believe you would have been 5 years old today. We have missed celebrating two of your birthdays now and it still does not make sense why you were chosen to be an angel. It feels so unfair that you were taken from us and you did not get to live a full life. Instead of a party we now decorate your headstone in ways that represent you and all the things you loved. Instead of singing Happy birthday and eating cake, we visit the cemetery and cry because we can't hold you or watch you grow.
Everyday without our little boy is very difficult and painful. It is a pain that does not go away and time does not heal the hurt. Our hearts have been broken and will never fully be repaired again.
Happy Birthday Drew. Maybe the other angels in heaven can sing Happy Birthday to you and party with you. Here we will honor and remember you always.
Love and hugs to you baby boy.
I do not know you, but I have said a prayer for your family on your loss. I am not sure how active you are in connecting with others who have had a child born of a congenital heart disease, but there is a a group called Whole Hearts Foundation. Whole Hearts Foundation was established by Matt Hammitt, lead singer with the Christian rock band Sanctus Real, whose son Bowen was born with Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) in 2010.
