A death has occurred and everything is changed.
We are painfully aware
that life can never be the same again,
that yesterday is over,,
that relationships once rich have ended.
But there is another way to look at this truth.
If life now went on the same, without the presence of the one who has died,
we could only conclude that the life we remember
made no contribution, filled no space, meant nothing.
The fact that this person left behind a place
that cannot be filled
is a high tribute to this individual.
Life can be the same after a trinket has benn lost,
BUT NEVER AFTER THE LOSS OF A TREASURE.

"Our Story"
My husband and I were not planning to have another child
for a while because we were in school and trying to finish,
yet I found out I was pregnant. I was over joyed even if
it was not planned. My pregnancy went great...no morning
sickness or any problems. Toward the end of the pregnancy
they would have trouble locating Roy's heart beart. Yet
it was always found and it would be strong. He even looked
healthy from the ultra sounds. They thought he was a girl
though. My due date was March 27, 1998, and it came and
went. Then on March 31, 1998 I went to the hospital at
5:00 a.m. They hooked me up to the monitors and kept losing
Roy's heart beat but still kept finding it. I ended up
getting an epidural finally because I could not take the
pain any more. Around 1:00 p.m. I felt like I had to push but
was not ready and was given more meds. At 1:15 p.m. he was
born spontaneously and had the cord wrapped around his
neck three times. The doctors revived him and had him
on a ventilator. Then Roy was transferred to Children's
Hospital of Philadelphia. The next day my husband and I
went to see him and was told he really had no chance of
living even with life support and would soon die. We
spent the next few days by Roys side taking pics and
giving as many people a chance to hold and see him
including his brother Sebastian who was only 2 at the
time. We chose to take him off life support on April 3
and he died an hour later.
Roy you came and went so fast. You made me realize that
life doesn't always last. Roy I miss you so much. In a
Flash I would take you back. You now have a brother Sean
and a Baby sister Charis. I will make sure that they
know of you. I miss you and love you
Roy. Love Mom
Roy you are in a better place now...you are with our
Savior Jesus. We will see you when it is our time. Until
then you are always in our hearts and minds.
