It touched me to my core. <br />Yet I didn't cry, because your poem is one of love and hope rather than one of loss and sadness.

Small as it might appear at first, he left a big impression in your family's life. My oldest son was 7 weeks early so now you know why I am crying. But my son just turned 18 a few weeks ago. I was so very blessed. When you go back to stalk, check out the birthday post I wrote for him. I really loved this.
