Oliver by Robin Manley / Mommy

My “baby” Oliver,

You were with me for nine weeks and brought joy and happiness to my life. From the moment I knew I would be so lucky as to bring you home with me, I was so excited. Your tiny white mustache and bright beautiful eyes drew me in even more after you came home on July 22.

I loved your energy and intelligence. I loved the sweet way you slept on my chest the first night you were here, and how you slept next to my head every night after that. I couldn’t tell enough people about you and my excitement about you was contagious. People who hadn’t even met you felt like they knew you. In such a short time, I’ve become so attached to you and wish I could have more time with you. You may have had some kind of “heart disease”, but I think your heart was just bigger than normal because you had so much love in it.

I’m so happy I could see you last night, but I wish I had been with you when you finally went to sleep. You mean the world to me and I am thankful that I have so many wonderful memories to think of when I miss you. I know you’re somewhere playing with Misty and Shivers, and that you’ll always be around me. “Your mommy loves you, sweet boy

 

With all my love to my baby boy,
Oliver
