My 4 month old cousin passed away almost 2 weeks ago to SIDS. He was the smiliest most angelic little boy I've ever had the pleasure of coming into contact with. This poem made me cry. Thank you

I had a beautiful baby boy just one year ago! He was the biggest blessing and saved my life. He was an angel since the day he entered this world. My son was 8lbs 3oz when he was born on April 12,2014 and I named him Jordan Charles Knoedler. I had the most amazing time of my life with my son. I spent literally all day, every single day, of his short little life with him!

Jordan passed away just three days before his first birthday! On April 9,2015 my son passed away. He was brain dead and passed of brain death in which was caused by SIDS. Jordan was the happiest child you could ever imagine. He brought light into every room he entered. He has impacted every life he entered. As he saved my life from a deadly path I was on. Jordan also saved a one year old little girl's life by giving her his lung! She took to it and her life was saved! My son is truly a big blue eyed angel! He was mommy's boy! He will forever and always be with me! I love you Jordan Charles with all I have!

I lost my son when he was just only 4 months due to SIDS it still hurts till this day and I keep him close to my heart. He was my first baby and I still have those dreams of him every day and every night. I see his picture every day next to my bed and all I can do is cry I miss my baby really bad:(

Your poem is very touching. My two month old baby cousin just passed away yesterday. He was born with hypo plastic left heart syndrome and at first they didn't think he was going to make it so they sent him to Columbus. He was to have a series of surgeries on his heart. His first had been successful and he was supposed to go for his second the beginning of June. He was doing just fine....even yesterday and all of a sudden his death came. They couldn't even tell us what the cause of his death was.

Thank you for this beautiful poem. A beautiful little baby boy, Simen Leander just died three hours ago. He struggled through the pregnancy, but was doing quite well now. Had his control yesterday, was growing nicely and everything was great with him. This morning he didn't wake up. His little body was so pale and cold. There are no words, nothing that can ever describe the pain of losing a seemingly healthy little baby. He stayed with his parents for a month and a half, now he's gone. So beautiful even in death. Your poem is inspiring, helpful, comforting. Thank you for sharing.

I have been searching for a fitting tribute for my daughters 'friends' baby. He died aged 10 months a few weeks ago and my daughter wanted something meaningful to say at his funeral next week. This poem expresses just what she wants to say even down to 'the new twinkle in the sky' as this was what she always sang to him.

I Love this, my son also was born a preemie, in 2007 and passed away at 8 months in 2008 of SIDS, his middle name was Joseph too, maybe they are friends in Heaven. I wrote a poem for him as well that was spoken at his funeral, and I believe my son is with me daily. It so hard to loose a child, what keeps me going is knowing that he is waiting for me....

I gave birth on Feb. 20, 2010,a beautiful baby girl name Yhuan, she was only 1 day old when she died because of lack of oxygen. cardiac respiratory arrest, Thanks to your poem, it gives me more hope, that someday I can hold my daughter and kiss her and tell her that I miss and love him so much. I know she is my little guardian angel now.

This poem is beautiful. It has touched my heart dearly. My 1st born son, Chase Jaxon Shandler, was born April 11 2009. He passed away suddenly on July 11 2009. He was born with Gastroschisis and had 3 surgeries in BC Children's Hospital. We got to take him home 2.5 months of age, and it was the happiest month of our lives. I miss his smile. I miss his cry. I miss everything about him, and think of him everyday. I love him with all my heart, and miss him so much. I know he is a little angel in heaven now, and we will see him again one day, but it is still so hard. This poem brought tears to my eyes. I have printed it for his scrapbook. Thank you.

I lost my son who was 4 months, 9 days old. He received his routine vaccinations and a few hours later went into seizures. I watched him every day for a little over a month as he suffered from the seizures and then he passed away October 5, 2009. He is my fourth child, second boy. The completion to my family. It is hard and I cry every day... I didn't know my body could hold so many tears..... Always in our hearts, Parker Anthony Crosby 5/26/09 - 10/5/09

My little brother lost his baby a month ago. She was 19 days old. She was supposed to have been a healthy baby but she wasn't. This poem I think will make him understand a little better and maybe he can quit blaming himself

Thank you for this beautiful poem. I lost my 1st born, a son...Jack Samuel. He was born too soon, he struggled for life for 24 hrs, I held him in my arms couldn't let go, its an ache, crippling pain and part of me died with him. that was almost 16 years ago, his birthday is coming up. He would have been 16. I still feel the pain, and miss him so.
