Stories of Lost Children
Sweet Jacob
by Cristi, Albemarle, NC, U.S.A.
Our first son together, you came to soon. In October of 2006 you decided it was time to come...or my body did one. We were not at a hospital that was equipped to handle your tiny body and you lived 2 full hours before going to be with Jesus. Your birth was long awaited and your death killed our spirits. It took a lot of time, and a lot of faith to begin the healing process. We know you were watching over us when we found out we were expecting your little brother and during our long hospital stay. Although he was early too, he has done well with his big brother watching over him. It touches my heart to hear him laughing in his sleep or looking at your tiny footprints on our wall because I know that the two of you are playing and will be forever friends. You are my first son and I love you dearly. Take care and visit us often until we are together again. Love, Mommy
