We knew there was something special about this baby boy, Braydon, this miracle baby, this angel, from the beginning.  Against all odds he came into our lives Dec 2nd, 2008, weighing in at under 4 lbs, he came such a long way, and  grew to become a big part of our lives.  His innocent smile, his soft long hair, his big beautiful eyes, and his gentle touch.
His time here was cut short.  I have to believe that God has a purpose for everyone and everything, and that everyone has their time, it's just hard to believe that Angel's time came up.  I like to believe that God is good, as i've always been taught to believe, but i'll never understand why, he took such a young one, full of promise, and full of life, that didn't have a chance to do so many things we take for granted every day.  He never got to go to the beach, and go swimming, or go to school, and meet new friends, he never got to go camping under the stars, and he would have loved to see all the stars, twinkling at night, he never got to experience a first kiss, or a first love, his love was his family, and we miss him so much. 

His journey's just begun

Don't think of him as gone away
his journey's just begun,
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.

Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.

Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.

And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched...
for nothing loved is ever lost
and he was loved so much.
