After being diagnosed with PCOS, we were told we would need fertility drugs to get pregnant. You could imagine our surprise when we found out on March 5, 2007 that we were expecting. That made Dylan our miracle child.
On Aug. 14, 2007 mommy hadn't felt Dylan move all morning so she went to the hospital to see if Dylan was just taking a nap. But after a try of the doppler, an ultrasound brought our worlds to a holt. We were told Dylan was no longer with us. Mommy was sent to labor & delivery to be induced. After 2 nights in the hospital, a incredibly loving husband by her side, and other family relatives that were there early in the morning and into the late hours , Dylan was born asleep on Aug. 16, 2007 at 8:45am. He weighed in at 2lbs 12oz and was 17 inches long. He had his mommy's long legs and long arms. He had his daddy's big feet and big hands. Even daddy's lips. But over all he had a good mix of features from both of his loving parents.
We will never know or understand why God took this precious child from us. Dylan gave us hope and joy. He brought so many smiles to our face. Feeling him move everyday was our favorite time of the day. We were so blessed to have had him for as long as we did. Had he left us any sooner, we would have not bonded as much. Had he left us later in the pregnancy, it would have been harder to let him go and the pain may have been even greater.
We had so many hopes and dreams for Dylan and now those hopes and dreams have been ripped from our hearts. We were left with empty arms and shattered hearts. Questions of why and what if's and newly learned life lessons. We will never be the same because we are parents to an angel.
Dylan you are deeply missed and will always be loved.
There will not be a first christmas. Or a first word, or first steps. No first tooth or first bath. There will not be a first birthday, or first day of school. No bedtime stories. No proms or engagement. No wedding to plan. We will only have angelversaries and the few pictures and memories we have of you. We will cherish those because that's all we will ever have.

Daddy & Dylan
Mommy & Dylan
It is two-thirty in the morning, and sleep is far from me. You my little angel are in everything I see
I think of you daily, you are in my every thought. It seems we lost the battle that we so desperately fought
Now the months that I carried you seem like no time at all, it seems I only had you for a moment before you heard God’s call
You were born without a cry, not a single sound. It seems I lost the treasure that I have only found
I know that you’re in heaven, and there for me you’ll wait. One sweet day honey, I’ll meet you at the gate
Until that day comes we still are not apart, because my little Dylan you are always in
mommy & daddy’s heart!
I find comfort in knowing Dylan only knew love and that's all he will ever know.
the angel took one look at your face and closed the book of life saying just one single thing....too beautiful for earth
