Hi all, today is a very sad day and I have a very heavy heart. My roommates newborn son, CJ, died suddenly of heart failure. Chris and Christine are two of my closest friends, and I got to spend the last trimester of her pregnancy living with them. He was born at 1200 on 12-12 a seemingly healthy boy. I got to watch her nurture him these last 5 weeks through all of his colicy behavior. Not to mention the last 3 months of carrying him while she was horribly sick everyday. She was and is a supoer mom. I hardly had the patience to live with him crying every night, yet not once did I hear a word of complaint, just sheer determination and patience. This is one of the strongest women it is my privlage to know. I ask you all to remember her in your prayers and ask God to comfort them and help ease thier grief.<p>Sorry about the long paragraph...<p>My grief, what little I can claim as my emotional attachment was that of a dear friend and pales in comparrison to thiers has not yet sunk in. I told Abbey tonight as she had become his surrogate big sister. She understood alot more than than I gave her 5 year old mind credit for. <p>So I just ask you all to remember them.<p>Much Love,
Bill

Hi All,<p>I just want to thank each of you for the replies and prayers. They are being felt around the house here.<p>My friends are coping in spite of the horrific bureaucratic inquiries on the part of the Medical Examiners office, DSS and the Police. We were caught copletely unaware of the red tape involved the death of a child. I wish someone would have told about all the "i's" needing to be dotted and "t's" needing to be crossed. It has added much to the burden of grief, especialy, Christine's. That now seems to be working itself out.<p>Thanks again.<p>Bill<p>[ January 19, 2002: Message edited by: WilliamJ ]</p>

Thanks again for the replies of prayers for my grieving friends. Tonight was the memorial service. It was a very nice, simple affair. The minister was perfect. I was especialy grateful for the outpouring of friends that came to wish condolances and simpathy to my berieved friends, it's times like this when you find out who realy cares. With this behind them now the healing and rebuilding can begin for my Chris and Christine. The thing that saddens me most is that they will never be able to hear CJ laugh and play in this lifetime. The minister said his faith has him believe that all the infants and babies taken from this world are in heaven right now laughing and playing together while Jesus shepards over them.<p>Bill
