We don’t understand why God chose us to go through this experience, but we have and will embrace Gods will. We love Jeremiah and Dominic. Even though they were briefly in our arms but forever in our hearts.

I Will Carry You - Selah
My Dearest Dominic and Jeremiah,
As I gaze up into the sky, I can see you sitting there by Jesus side. I miss you both oh so much I wish you where here so we could touch. I would hold you both oh so close I would breath you in and kiss your cheeks, we would dance and twirl in the streets. We would not let go , no we would not… time is to short we must not stop. I then gently squeeze and then let you go, back to our Lord , into heaven just beyond the Golden Gates. I shed a tear and wipe my eyes and start to smile as I realize… I will see you again soon. I love you my sweet sweet baby boys, I love you!!

“Forever in our hearts”
My name is Christopher, I’m 5 years old. I’m going to be a big brother, My momma is having twins. I’m very excited to be a big brother.
When my little brothers get bigger, we will play together. It will be fun to share our toys and play hide and seek.
When momma calls us to wash our hands for dinner, I will show them how. I can teach them how to clean up after we are done with our toys.
I will be the best big brother ever. Daddy said it is almost time to leave to go to the hospital, momma said it is going to be today. I will see my brothers soon.
Grandma is here, she is staying with me while my momma and daddy are at the hospital. Grandma is a fun grandma she bakes me cookies and lets me stay up past my bedtime.
Grandma said that we can go see momma and daddy at the hospital, but my brothers are not born yet. We still have to wait, but momma wants to see me.
The hospital is so big. I could get lost if I’m not careful. I need to stay close to my grandma; she knows where momma and daddy are.
Momma... daddy... why are you crying? Where are my brothers now momma, are they still in your belly?
Momma and daddy say that my brothers are not in her belly anymore. Where are my brothers now momma?
Momma said that they were born sleeping, I don’t know what that means... are they in a cradle, or maybe having a bath. Where are my brothers now momma?
Momma and daddy are crying, Grandma is crying, Daddy is on the phone... Why are you so sad? We need to be happy, My baby brothers are born, they are sleeping.
Where are my brothers now momma? Is the nurse going to bring them in for me to see them?
I asked momma one more time, this time I said it LOUDLY. Maybe she could not hear me before. WHERE ARE MY BROTHERS NOW MOMMA???
Momma just told me that Jesus needed 2 warriors in heaven, so Jesus chose them, my little brothers are in heaven, they are living with Jesus.
I cannot share my toys with them... or play hide and seek with them? I cannot show them how to wash when momma tells us to get ready for dinner... I cannot show them how to clean up our toys?
I will miss my little brothers, I love them so much. My momma dressed them up for me to see them. They are so little and soft.
Today momma and daddy have a lot of people with them. They are all saying goodbye, but momma said that we don’t say goodbye for long...
One day Jesus will take us to heaven too. We will see them someday but until I do, Jesus will take care of my little brothers in heaven.
I’m glad to know my little brothers are in heaven... I know Jesus loves me, and all the little children of the world...
“Beloved let us love on another, for love is of God and everyone that loveth is born of God and knowth God.”
|John 4:7+8
Momma said that the bible tells us that heaven is beautiful, that the angels are always singing, there are no tears or pain or sickness in heaven, only love.
|John 4:7-8

Messages to Dominic & Jeremiah
My Dear Sweet Baby Boys,
This year has been so very hard for me, I miss you and I love you so very much.. Every Day I think of you and how it would have been. Your first steps, your first words, what you would look like, my heart aches for you I look at your pictures daily.. I would not change a think about you, you look just like your daddy. I will tell you new little brother Michael all about you, I would go through the heartache again just to have the short time with you again. Dominic and Jeremiah you are so so so special, Im glad I will see you again in heaven when it is my time to come! I LOVE YOU Happy sweet Birthday my sweetie Pies <3
Dear Boys,
I remember the first morning we met. The time I had with you was like a summer breeze that only lasted for a little while. I held you in my arms and tight to my heart. It was so short but so memorial. My love to you will be forever and always, infinity and beyond.
Dear Baby Boys,
I know you will never be reading this, but today is your Birthday! I Miss you so very much and I'm So SAD. My Heart aches for you. You guys would LOVE your Baby Brother Mikey….. There is just SO MUCH to say!!! I MISS YOU so so so so so much, this year is Harder on your Birthday than the last.. I wish you where here! Happy 2nd Birthday My Loves~~ <3 <3 <3 <3
Dear Jeremiah & Dominic,
When you love someone how can you let them go? You my sons are half part of me and half part of your loving mom. How can you let someone go when they are part of you? You don’t let go you embrace the memories and thoughts of your sons forever and always, infinity and beyond. I am going to smile while remembering you even though it kills me to smile. I am going to find the courage to smile so that you won’t see me cry when I say love you Dominic and Jeremiah.
Dear Boys,
I miss you guys. It is selfish of me wanting to hold you, teach you things and play with you knowing that you are in the greatest arms and places that anyone would want to be in.
I cannot see you guys but your spirits continue living in my heart and soul. Where ever I go, you guys will be in a special spot in my mind. Whoever asks me if I am a proud dad, I will respond yes I have three great boys. Where ever I am and how sad it is, I will always be forever grateful of having two angles in heaven.
Dominic and Jeremiah,
Your mommy and daddy love you very much and we miss you a lot. With your prayers we have stayed strong. Continue praying for us and your baby brother . God will continue hearing you. My boys you are always in our minds, hearts, and our lives. We have included you in every holiday and happy moment that we have had and we will continue forever. We appreciate your prayers. Briefly in our arms forever in our hearts
Dominic and Jeremiah,
I miss you more than you know! I know you are celebrating Jesus Birthday with Jesus directly HOW COOL IS THAT!!! I however selfishly wish you here with us…you are my first born sons, I love you so very much . Your little brother is amazing, wish you could meet him… he will never replace you guys, and I wish you were here.
Dominic and Jeremiah,
Daddy and mommy have a important gift for you, the most greatest gift…. It is the gift of LOVE, a forever love. You are forever in our hearts and forever on our minds, WE LOVE YOU BUNCHES.
Dear Dominic and Jeremiah,
We Love you so much and wish you a happy 1 year with Jesus Birthday.
Dearest Dominic and Jeremiah,
We often wonder what this year would have been like with you 2 here with us... 2 cute little guys... A year of love and joy, mile stones, new teeth, crawling, smiles and first steps. Our hearts over flow and sometimes feel overwhelmed with the love and yes sadness of not having you here with us … watching you growing and changing, and playing together. We had looked forward to the time we would spend with you both... looking forward to being your Grandma and Grandpa.
But God had a different plan... he loved you so much that he took you straight from the shelter of your mother’s womb into his GLORIOUS presence. He used your short time on earth to remind us of the great joy that awaits us in heaven... that because of Jesus taking our sin to the cross we would see you both for eternity... there is no sting to death... you’ll never experience sadness or pain, disappointment or failure... all you know is joy and peace.
I do admit we cried when he took you! Not out of fear or grief for what happened to you, because you are blessed... but for what happened to us, your Grandma and Grandpa, because selfishly we wanted the time with you... we still miss you and love you and always will, but we have a great joy in knowing we’ll be with you some day and we look forward to that... We love you!!
Dominic and Jeremiah
Every Good and Perfect gift is from above.
