A Precious Gift

I'm sure if he could tell you, "Thank You," he would. I'm sure he would want you to know that he loved being a part of your lives even though brief. He remembers the belly rubs, soothing sounds of your voices, and the adrenalin of wanting him so badly.

I'm sure if he could, he'd tell you..he's with you forever. He will remember you both in his own angelic way, watching over you, holding onto your souls with his little hands and never releasing. He's all around you, touching your thoughts and hugging your memories. He smiles and laughs to comfort you each day you feel sad. He's happy for your strength and needs your hope to help him fly.

I'm sure if he could tell you, "Thank You," he would, For all the powerful love, for remembering him, for holding him when he was born and missing him when he became your angel. He knows he is your combined, manifested pure love and he is your hope.

He's the light in your window, he's the hope in your heart, he's the baby angel that throws the first snowflake upon your face- his kiss to Mommy and Daddy. Just know that the smiles on your faces help him get through his day, too, and he knows you love him, knows you miss him, and wants you to know that he's watching over you both. If he could tell you..I know he would.

Create a Remembrance Kit for their Angel

Create a Remembrance Kit for Their Angel

"I was so touched to receive poems, letters and scrapbook pages dedicated to us and our sweet little baby. Family and friends took the time to thoughtfully compose wonderful gifts as if our son helped in creating them."

These tributes and sympathy gifts are memorials that touch the heart in a profound way, because most likely they have not met your child but know how much your angel's brief life is valued. The Just a Cloud Away Remembrance Kit can be created in your eyes as the friend, sister-in-law, grandma, or just someone who cares deeply.

My sister-in-law created a special tribute for us, dedicated to Tanner. Tears came streaming down my face because our son is so very special even in his absence.
