Remembering Baby Eddie! Feb-May 2004

This was one of the last pictures taken of baby Eddie.
The other pictures were taken shortly after his birth.








Baby Eddie is remembered with love. His time here on earth was short (3 months), but very significant. He brought joy and sweetness to the lives of all who knew him. He was a son, a brother, a grandson, a cousin and a nephew. He was my nephew.

I remember the first time I held him and I remember the last. I am overcome with sadness that I did not visit in between. The first time I held him was beautiful. He was so perfect and precious. My heart was so proud, as I watched my 7 1/2 year old daughter fall in love. Samantha was the reason we stayed as long as we did. She was so upset when we made her leave. Before we knew it, nearly three months had gone by. I remember getting the call and then calling Evan. Baby Eddie was put to sleep in his crib for what was to be a nap, but instead he slipped into eternal rest. It was really unbelievable! We rushed to the hospital and I held him (his body) in my arms for the last time. I wish there had been more memories!
