To our greatest accomplishment, our precious son... It rained the day you were born, you've always loved the rain and thunderstorms. You were perfect since birth... so so beautiful. You were a perfect baby. You grew so fast and were meeting milestones you weren't even old enough for. We couldn't believe you were ours.. that you were real. It was us. Our little perfect family. A boy, his mama, his dada and doggies. You'd stare at us with your big black eyes almost in awe that this was our reality. You always looked like your dada but with your mamas eyes. Your lip would quiver when you cried. Your eyes would light up and smile as you smiled. You always smiled. We took so many pictures and videos of you because we couldn't let our wittle bitty baby leave our memories. You loved being held and rocked. You loved being sang to. All we had to do was put music on and you'd stop crying. You loved music. You loved staring at the dogs while they played. You loved listening to your family talk. You loved being outside. You loved when your dada would hold you and just stand and sway with you. You looked like a big sack of potatoes. You always had to be in all the action, always wanting to sit up and would throw a fit when we held you like a baby. You loved to stand up, you'd get so happy you'd start to jump. You hated being still, always moving. We loved to sing and rock you to sleep and give you a million kisses. We loved smelling your head, the smell of our baby. You started to find your voice and instead of cooing you'd stare, smile and in the softest voice you said "hiii, hiii, hiii" over and over. You looked like love itself. You constantly searched for us just to smile and stare for what felt like eternity. We've never met such a unique and astonishing soul before. We'd always say you wanted to just be able to stand up and walk around. You wanted to be on the go all the time. We remember when you started smiling. We remember the first time you giggled, we were playing with you and went to tickle you and boom the most beautiful sound out of no where. I tickled you again and we heard it again. My mama heart couldn't handle it and I cried because where did my newborn go. You were our world. We had so much planned. Your last day here with us seemed like a picture perfect day. You were happy as could be, such a snuggle bug and wanted to eat and play all day. To rock you while we sing again. To hear you laugh again. To hear you snort like a piggy again. To see you smile again. You loved playing with your dada and trying to gnaw his face or shoulder off. You were such a mama boy, always needing mama. You'd always melt into us when we held you. So soft and warm. You were absolutely perfect. We know you'll come back to us. We'll see you and feel you again. We hope you keep your giggles. Maybe those eyes too. Maybe you'll become the wind, the rain, or something. Our beautiful baby boy. Our souls want to crawl home to you. You were born, we blinked, and you were gone. We're lost without you baby boy. We could never imagine our lives without you. We all miss and love you beyond words. We hurt a true heartbreak. Until you come back to us, our sweet beautiful Zeppelin.
