Dear Aaron and Ryan,
Hello there, my sweet little angel babies. How is it up there in heaven? Daddy and I miss you both so much, and your sister is still very sad, as we all are. Not a day goes by that we don't think of you. Aaron, my happy angel, we miss your huge smile and how you lit up the room like sunshine. I remember how you liked to stare at the fish in your fishtank for hours, how calming it was for you, and how your eyes would light up whenever daddy or I walked in the room. Aar-bear, you taught us how to appreciate life's little moments, and our world has never been the same since the Lord called you home to be with Him. You were such a brave little boy. There was so much so wrong, but yet there was so much that was right. Thank you so much for all the joy you brought to my life. Ryan, our sweet angel, it has only been a month since you joined your brother in heaven, and my heart aches every day. I can barely say your name without crying. I knew that the Lord would lend you to us for only a little while, but I didn't think you'd leave us so soon, or the way that you did. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you from whatever happened. My precious Ry-Ry, you were so beautiful, and such an inspiration to me. Like your brother, you were so strong, and graceful. I miss your bright blue eyes, and your beautiful face. I remember how you would sleep so peacefully, holding my fingers to your chest. I remember how you finally smiled at me when I gave you your bath, just before you went off to the hospital. How I wish I had known that you would not be coming back home. I'm still so angry with myself Ryan, I wish I'd held you more that week, that I wasn't so crabby when you had a bad night. I wish I had taken you to get your pictures done instead of complaining about how cold it was outside. You were such a gift to us, and I miss you so. I know that you are with your brother now, and you are both watching over us. We are so proud of the both of you, you are our heroes. I know that now you both can run, laugh, and play. You're happy, you're home, and you're free. We look forward to the day when we will all be together again. I'll hold you in heaven, my little angels. Sleep tight babies, safe in the arms of Jesus.
With all my love, always and forever,
Mommy
