Dear Rayann, I don't know if you remember me. I work at the Health Department with WIC. I wish I had the words that could make all your pain go away. There are no words. I am just soo sorry. I too have lost a child. Four and a half years ago I lost my 18 month old daughter. I remember that terrible pain and emptiness. I pray that you find strength within yourself with the help of family and friends. May angels hold you up. Please contact me if you would like to talk with someone who has "been there". If I can be of any help, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me. I am so sorry and can't seem to keep your loss out of my mind. I will be praying for you and your family during this most difficult time. Remember...take baby steps and take all the time you need to grieve your precious son until the sun shines once again. Thinking of you, Tracy Davis
