My son was born last night.

I'm not up to much right now. I started having preterm labor and finally went to L&D.

Gabriel Ross was born alive a little before 8 pm. He lived a short while and passed away in our arms. We spent about three hours holding him and telling him how much we loved him.

I was discharged from the hospital today and am home again. I feel empty.

Dear Eas,

I am so very sorry for your loss. I cannot imagine how you are feeling, I only know that I would be heartbroken and crushed and that no words exist beyond that to describe the true depth of my sorrow.
Many prayers, many hugs. May his memory be eternal.

Isha said...

There are no words good enough, there are no hugs big or warm enough, there is no sentiment strong enough to express my utter sorrow to you and your family. I am so very sorry for the loss of your son, who was undoubtedly as beautiful and special as his mother. Gabriel touched all of our lives, and his legacy will live on in our hearts. We all are here for you, and hope to help in whatever way we can.
So very sorry. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
