Brennan Royce,Our Angel Baby!

On December 19, 2001, my son, Brennan, was born at 1:17am. This came as a surprise to the nurse, who kept telling me that I wasn't in labor. I was administered Brethine to stop the labor but it apparently didn't work. My son did not take a breath, althought he had "picture perfect" heart tones when I was admitted and again at 10:30pm, approximately three hours before delivery. This is a devastating experience that I wish no one would have to endure. I'm dedicating this site to my son Brennan, and to everyone who has lost a child or has been touched by the loss of a child.
We Miss You Brennan!

Brennan, Dear

What a handsome boy,
Blond hair just like your dad's;
I wish I could have seen it grow over the years.
What a handsome young man you would have been;
Sadly though, it was not meant to be.

God needed you by his side,
but in the early morning hours,
all I did was cry.
I really wanted to care for you,
All the days of my life;
Now, all that is here is emptiness, lonliness, and strife.
I want to tell you I miss you and
how much I wish you were here.
I love you, now and forever;
My handsome Brennan, Dear.

Because life, even the tiniest life, is special
Because life, even the tiniest life, must be remembered
Because parents want to remember
Because grieving parents need sensitive doctors, nurses,
clergy, funeral directors and families
Because the larger community needs to be reminded
that infant losses occur often
Because the larger community needs to know
how to help grieving families
Because the larger community needs to be reminded
that life, even the tiniest life, is special
